MOONMIST
(c) Infocom, Inc. 1986

Background
----------
More ghosts haunt the misty seacoast and stone ramparts of Cornwall than any
place else on earth. One such soul roams Tresyllian Castle: a pale phantom with
flaxen hair and a luminous, flowing gown. It seems like a fanciful legend...
until the spectral White Lady threatens the life of your friend Tamara! 

Arriving at the fog-shrouded castle, you meet a cast of eccentric characters
ranging from a blue-blood debutante to an overly helpful butler. Has one of them
donned the ghostly guise of the White Lady? Or has the drowned love of Lord
Jack, Tamara's fianc, returned to haunt her successor? Perhaps the spectre is
seeking the valuable treasure hidden somewhere in the lavish rooms and secret
passageways of the castle. The solution to the mystery, as well as the location
of the treasure, changes in each of the four variations of Moonmist. Get ready
to spend the night in a haunted castle. But don't sleep too soundly. The next
victim might be you.
