Description from the packaging.

You have been wandering the parched desert for what seems like an eternity. The hot sun beats down on you like the tongues of a hellish fire, and you are desperate for water. Suddenly, up ahead, you spot the water holes. However, they are guarded by vicious snakes and a killer buzzard. All you have are knives, and the creatures are getting closer... what will you do to survive?

RUNNING MUNCHIES- a game of action and adventure in the wild desert.
