I’m on a mac though so I’m out of luck so far. But there are versions for the <span class="caps">GBA</span> and other platforms so I’ll probably play it on an emulator or something.</p> <p>I found a playthrough on youtube a while ago and watched it to get a sense of the game’s storytelling. It’s really scaled down and minimalistic, but good. I really liked the lurking monster in the beginning. It reminded me of an entry for the ifcomp a few years back. The game was called “Cattus Atrox” and has a really cool and engaging beginning. Unfortunately, after the opening, the game sucked. But it’s worth a try if you’re into interactive fiction.</p> Yeah, I know about the revamped version and have wanted to play it. I’m on a mac though so I’m out of luck so far.
