STORY
Cedric has had a problem with chronic flatulence his whole life and as a result, his adolescent years had been filled with shame, scorn, and mockery. Fortunately, after entering college in a new town and being invited to his first ever party, he found the resolve to start afresh and leave a good impression on his new friends.

MECHANICS
- Fart Meter: Cedric will constantly let out gas. He can try to hold it in, but if he clamps his cheeks for too long, he will let it rip. This is represented by the fart meter at the bottom-center of the screen.
- Hold it in: Hold the Left Mouse Button to stop farting.
- Meter Burst: When the Fart Meter is maxed out, Cedric will not be able to control himself, and will drop a deuce. The stain in his pants will permanently increase his smell radius.
- Smell Radius: As Cedric farts, he infects the air around him. This is represented by the brown Smell Radius below him. Hold it in to decrease the Smell Radius.
- Stealth: Don't let the other party-goers smell your puffs! Anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in your Smell Radius will dislike you. Good thing is they can't smell you through the walls.
- Getting caught: If Cedric gets caught farting, he will be kicked out of the party. But being the tenacious guy that he is, he will go home to clean himself up, thereby resetting his Smell Radius. Then he returns to the party to redeem himself.

GOAL
Reach your car on the other side of the house without getting caught cutting cheese.
