You have a gun and three bullets. [Somewhere a bad guy has an egg.](http://www.videlectrix.com/wheresanegg.html) Your job is to travel around and interrogate the people you meet to find the egg. Shoot the bad guy and you’ll get the egg and a medal. Run out of bullets and you’ll be sent to Siberia. ---

OK, it looks like it’s a liar/truthteller logic puzzle, but the terrible graphics are too distracting for me. If they didn’t want better graphics (that had to have been a deliberate design decision), they should have just gone with text instead. Several of the icons were so abstract and pixellated I couldn’t even come up with a mental label for them. ---

I see a bomb, a gym bag, a plant, a pencil, a cat, a wrench, a beer stein, a slingshot, and a strawberry. ---

Several of the icons were so abstract and pixellated I couldn’t even come up with a mental label for them. It’s Videlectrix, the same people who did Homestar Runner. It’s deliberately bad graphics. ---

I just shot the first 2 people I saw. The 2nd one had the egg! I win! ---

Nice! 998! Yeah, yeah - it’s easy if you go through and suss it out, logic style. But then you don’t get the chance to see the sweet Siberia ending. ---

Sometimes [shooting people](http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0327.html) is the best way to solve these liar/truthteller puzzles. ---

So I played it a few times, and had consistent success going to the first location mentioned by anyone when I asked them about the egg, and shooting the person there. ---
