3 <i>A game of competitive puzzle-design.</i>
5 By ruthlessly guarded secret arrangement, the council's agents can pick any
6 lock in the city. A secret guild produces the necessary locks - apparently
7 secure, but with fatal hidden flaws.
9 Coordinate a pair of lockpicks in a mechanistic turn-based puzzle game;
10 construct intricate locks of your own to protect the secrets you discover.
12 Free software, released under the GPLv3.
14 Written in Haskell, with SDL and Curses user interfaces.
