The main character wakes up in a tunnel of the subway and tries to find out that happened to it and other passengers of the train. To understand that after all it happened to the gone passengers, the player should investigate strange catacombs being deeply underground.

The line is the share positive of all reviews posted in the 3 months to each month, drawn where at least 20 reviews stand behind it. The verdict compares the last three finished months with the twelve before them, and calls a direction only when the change is at least 3 points and bigger than chance would give. How we count
