Your path brings you to a halt. The town has yet to show sign of life. Streets are unbeat and silent as a grave, and many of the buildings lack windows or doors, presenting as simple tombs of worn concrete. Yet in front of you, marking the dead end of the road, a wooden sign screams at you in fresh black paint under the starless night.

It reads:

"""

You wonder how they managed to fit so many words on this modestly sized sign. Either way. your curiosity piqued and you decide to turn the sign around and read the theme,

...

It seems you cannot turn the sign around to read the theme yet, and every time you try to walk around it will always turn to face the rules text to you. Maybe later it will allow you to read the theme.

It reads:

"""Something else... and cheese"""


You decide to enter nonetheless.
