About the Story

Your day got off to a good enough start when you met that blonde in the breakfast queue, but it's all downhill from there: you may be wishing you could escape a particularly dire lecture, but not by the one way the lecture has just declared impossible. For suddenly, you are lurched into limbo, apparently to experience the after-life at first hand. What will you find there: heaven, hell, or the blonde you met at breakfast?

Off-Site Reviews

SPAG
Only a well-done game can successfully combine such elements as a rather detailed plot, puzzles of all sorts, a theologically dense theme, and Greek alphabet characters.

I’ve been meaning to catch up with All Hope Abandon for years now: back in 2005 when it came out, it pulled down a number of XYZZY nominations [...] It’s one of a handful of religiously-themed IF works reputed not to be especially preachy.
