After their game was accepted by Central Solutions, the authors never heard from the company again. But it was officially released.
An unofficial conversion of the ZX Spectrum version is available for Atari 400/800; ported by devwebcl.

A fairly decent Quill game, simple in concept but not trivial to solve. Well written and fair to the player, which goes a long way. The plot is a bit in-your-face but worth a go if you like "escape a convoluted place full of hidden passages" scenarios.
