Rattus Rex

Floppy IMG derived from archived files. Mount as FLP1 and boot from floppy. Tested in sQLux with Minerva 1.98a1 ROM and 640 KiB RAM. OEFFNE TUER was accepted and the scene changed from living room to bedroom. The original introduction was tested separately. The derived launcher skips that long introduction, retaining its source. Other puzzles and the ending were not tested. Basic functional check, not a complete test or a test on physical QL hardware. Audio and saving are not certified. The timestamp is that of the IMG in the Working package, not the acquisition date of original media.
