Hmmm its a steel at 5 bucks.
I will go get it.
Interestingly enough the reality gaming deathmatch series is something like that. Ofcause this is a different thing, maybe we should sue for patents <lol> like we actually registered any which we didn't.
Going to be good to see what this does.

Hi All, I posted an announcement about this on audio games.net, but figured I should mention it here as well in case there are folk who don’t frequent that forum. Now this is a game I've been looking forward to for a long time, a new full-length bit of interactive fiction from Andrew Plotkin, one of the most celebrated IF authors of the past twenty years or so. It can be bought for $5 on iOS, or directly as a Glulx game file from www.hadeanlands.com <http://www.hadeanlands.com/>. The iOS game works beautifully with VoiceOVer. But what is this game about, you might wonder? Basically, you're a low-ranking crewmen on a so-called alchemical starship. Something has apparently gone very wrong, and you wake up in the Secondary Alchemical Lab with no real idea of what. You have to single-handedly get the ship in working order again, no mean feat, and figure out what happened and why. Alchemical starship, you might ask? Yes, the starship is stuffed full of alchemical equipment, and you'll find rituals for all kinds of things, from removing tarnish and rust to killing fungus, and that's just all I've discovered so far. The iOS version of the game keeps track of everything you discover in a neat little journal, so you don't have to worry too hard about where your various recipes have gone. I should say that while this is definitely a puzzle-heavy game, the puzzles are quite logical so far, and you can't seem to get stuck in a place from which it's impossible to continue. There is also a lot of handy work behind the scenes to let you repeat rituals quickly, for instance, rather than having to run through every step individually. There's even a VoiceOver accessible map, and you can tap the name of a room to go to it immediately. My sense is that this game was intended to provide hours of alchemical fun, and not be completed in one or even several sittings. It is still a parser game, so won't be to everybody's taste, but I highly recommend you give it a look. You can find it on the App Store or www.hadeanlands.com <http://www.hadeanlands.com/>, for $5. If you buy it from the web site it will work in Winglulx or similar.
