Thought I should explain the hiddenday game.

This whole idea came from my experience of meeting my wife's family and friends in China. I really thought I understood what makes Chinese tick, but learned pretty quick that it's best just to keep my mouth shut and pay attention to what's normal for them, and what they expect is normal for me.

So I decided to create this web-site to give people the same experience. Basically, your job is to befriend the creature (creatures?) and win their trust. However, you have absolutely no idea what they expect from you, other than the journal entries of a guy who obviously lost their trust at some point.

So, maybe it's not so much an adventure game as it is a cultural experiment? Can you figure out what makes the little creature tick?

Thanks again for everyone's input.
