Key & Compass presents:
The Oily Deeps
by John Cater

You play as someone who told some sailors they shouldn't have any more to drink. The next thing you know, you're regaining consciousness covered in crude oil, inside a oil tank, and without your stuff. That can't be healthy.

This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the game.
