Thats the story. Remember, the smallest things may could have the biggest impacts, so what would happen, if you did some different things?

As you keep on walking along a small passage, you think about why and how you got into this forest. You can't remember much, but you now you drove a car on a road... somewhere... where is the car?\n\n[[Go further!|Start3]]

Finally, you found a forest clearing. There is an iron fence but you can't see a road in front of it to follow.\n\n[[Take a closer look!|FrontFence]]\n[[Take an other way!|FrontFence_OtherWay]]
