Start
You enter the Saloon. There is no one inside, which surprises you very much. Even Henry isn't there. Henry has always been in the Saloon! It's his place, his job... his life! You start walking all over the room, but you don't find anything else, only the dust on the table. Where's the dust from? After all, yesterday you were here... you were drinking 12-year-old whiskey with John! You decide to check the back office. You go into the back room silently, you see the US Constitution lying on the table. The kitchen is clean, dishes washed... but it looks as if nobody has used it for years. You want to take the Constitution to put it on the bookshelf, in Henry's office, but ... the book has disappeared! Only the trace reflected in the dust remained. This is a real nightmare. What can you do at this moment? Maybe you should check the city? They have to be somewhere? Anywhere? Anyone?
 Finish
You searched all the buildings. Your city seems to be completely empty. In Maya's apartment you found a letter addressed to you.

Hey,if you find this letter, it means that you have recovered and the drugs have helped. We couldn't take you with us, my dear friend. I hope you'll forgive me this once. Henry, John and I went north-west, and Waupee went to his tribe. I don't know where you will go, but you can't stay where you are. There was a terrible battle in our city. As you remember we had paid 26 shillings a year, where English paid only 1 shilling per year. People were very angry at the political situation. They gathered the weapons and it began ... the revolution.In the end, before the revolution came to us, there was illness first. You got sick, my friend, and we were running away from death.Remember us and I hope to see you soon!A tear trickles down your cheek. You do not remember these events. You put the letter in your pocket and you go looking for something to eat.
 Finish
It's good that you found some fruits and vegetables. Perhaps you will not go hungry with a few wild strawberries, but you have enough to eat for a few days.

Start
It's been several days since you woke up in a deserted city... in your own town. There is still no one else but yourself. You start talking to your shadow. And this is probably not the best for you. You decide to look around, find a horse and maybe plan something for the next days. It is not possible for you to live alone in the world. There has to be someone else, somewhere...
 Finish
While hiking around, you managed to catch a horse, a beautiful wild mustang. It will be an opportune time tomorrow to find a new city and maybe find a weapon somewhere along the way. Maybe the old ghost town will be a good place to start with...

Start
After many hours of wandering, you come to the Ghost Town. You are so tired that you can't take a step anymore. You lie under a tree and fall asleep. After some time, you wake up with terrible pain. You open your eyes and you see that someone is just pointing his fist towards you. You have only one question: What is going on?! The guy grabs you with one hand, picks you up and throws you on the ground.Stranger: Give me everything you have! What?! You have nothing?! Haha, do you think I will believe that? Pull everything out of your pocket. Now!You put your hands slowly into pockets that are empty. You look at the tall man and you are afraid that he would beat someone to a pulp if you don't give him anything. You decide to offer him your cooperation. To your surprise, he agreed and gives you a first task. Prepare dinner.
 Finish
Stranger: What a hard time has come... battle is everywhere. What makes you so surprised? People wanted their revolution, so, they have it. You just have to survive, like me. I wonder what will happen if they win. How will they manage such a large area without the UK? By the way, I am Lukas.

Lukas: Thank you for the dinner. It was so good.. I haven't eaten such a delicious dinner in a long time. No, I'm not on either side. I understand both sides and I am in between, like between a rock and a hard place. Maybe I just want to live peacefully. I'm afraid of death, that's why I'm not fighting, I haven't chosen any side. I think that we need to find a weapon for you, maybe a nice gun, or rifle? And don't forget about the dinner, from now on you are a master chef.When you were looking for a weapon for yourself, Lukas told you what happened last...Lukas: As you probably know in 1651, the English government had made a decision about trading. We could only trade with the British Kingdom, only they had the opportunity to be rich and as a result, we had three years of King Philip's war here. This war ended in 1678, and much of it was fought without significant assistance from England. This was the perfect time to develop a unique identity for American people. A few years later, in 1765, the government passed the direct taxes on the colonies for the first time, but the taxes weren't big, so no one was complaining. But, they were complaining that they had no representation in the Parliament. Yes, true, there were public demonstrations.. Oh, it's so late... Look there - Lukas shows you his old home when you hear a big bang behind you! - No way ! Now you will have to repair the bridge, otherwise we will not return to the city.
 Finish
After a while you found the weapon. It was so hard to find anything here... Lukas takes from you the weapon you found and gives you a small revolver, saying that it suits you better. Then you rebuild the bridge. Looks unstable, but you can go back to the Ghost town.

Lukas: After a while the government changed the rules about the taxes. People, you know, they wanted to have the same rights as the people in Great Britain. Here, they had the feeling that they are only a part of the big machine. Sooner or later, the war had to start... but, before the war in 1774 the British government did a lot of bad things, for example, the soldiers couldn't be tried in the colonies, but only in Great Britain, and they closed the Boston Port until the British had been compensated for the tea lost on the Boston Tea Party. And I think the most important thing for all people was that: the royal government was allowed to house British troops in the homes of the citizens without requiring permission of the owner. Ok, enough talk, we have to get to work, otherwise, we will die of hunger. I have an idea. Find more food than before, and we will sell your dishes.
 Finish
It was a difficult day. You collected a lot of potatoes and some wild weeds, hunted a wild animal, cooked dinner, and went to sell it. You saw injured people on the way... people begging for food.... You decided to give them what you did not sell.

Lukas: I am a bit tired to talk much. But I can tell you, that in 1776... It was May, I think... the Congress called on all the states to write constitutions and eliminate the last remnants of royal rule. A month later 9 colonies were ready for Independence. The Declaration of Independence was drafted largely by Thomas Jefferson and presented by the committee and adopted by the entire Congress on July 4. Until today, the war is here. So, what do you think, what should we do? Who will win? Hmm... really, you think, we should go and fight for Independence? Maybe you are right. Come with me...You and Lucas were traveling for few days. Looks like Lukas knows where are you going, but he doesn't want to tell you. After a while you see a big fort. Here you are, a lot of soldiers, fighting for what they believe. Someone gives you a uniform and a weapon. Tomorrow is a big day for everyone. You have heard that this will be the most important battle during this war.
 Finish
You were fighting, as everyone else. Many people have been shot. Too many. At the end of the battle, when you bend to gather the spent cartridges, you feel a terrible chest pain. You are wounded, you fall to the ground and ... there is nothing left. You want to be in the saloon, with your friends... where are they?

Hi there! Are you ok? I hope so. You've lost consciousness moments ago. Sorry, I really don't know what happened to you. Henry gave me the list of the products he needs to prepare the Independence Day Party. Yes, it is today... War? What kind of war? Oh, I think, it was just a bad dream. The War was ended a long time ago.
 Finish
Ah, you are back, and you have everything on the list, perfect. Let's get this party started!

John: That was a wonderful party, the best we've had here in a very long time. There were so many people there, some I'd never seen before, like that Lukas gentleman. Did you get a chance to meet him? He seemed to know you?
 Finish
You're so shocked you are speechless. Could the man from your dream really have come to the party? You decide not to say anything to John, and go to your room for a well-deserved rest. A good sleep will make everything better... as long as you don't dream.
