Hooky McPegleg is on a quest for the greatest treasure of all: literacy. Yes, as the town's new postman, he has to learn how to read. But that's not all. There's a sinister mystery in town, and Hooky may be caught in the middle of it.

Comments:

This is one of my favorite RON games because it's short on puzzles and long on story development. I get easily frustrated by puzzles. -cornjob
