MiniComp 1998

In this room off the Hallway, you meet Lucian Paul Smith. Lucian is showing off the results of his first-ever MiniComp, which has inspired so many others ever since. He briefly explains the premise:

"Your rich relative has recently died, leaving behind a wacky will. He has left the entirety of the estate to the relative who wins a scavenger hunt. The game should begin as the will is read and the lists of objects and their values are handed out.

The player should be able to attempt various different paths:
* Egotistical (The player tries to win the hunt for themselves.)
* Cooperative (The player finds another relative (or group of relatives) and makes a deal with them to try to win together.)
* Altruistic (The player attains objects and gives them to some other relative so they can win instead.)
* Subversive (The player tries to thwart others attempts to obtain objects.)"

The mostly-booring family reunion takes an odd twist as your Uncle Ogdajon bursts in though the front doors. Seems ol' Biff got snuffed by the wise guys and left behind a treasure-hunt will. Sort of thing happens all the time.
