: A sample transcript from a hypothetical Lovecraftian game:
:
: Eldritch Room
:
: This foetid, cthonic pit smothers you with its dank sarcophagean stench.
: Your boots squelch in the noisome muck that coats the floor. Blasphemous,
: forbidden carvings writhe as if in torment on the nitrous walls, and the
: flickering light from your torch does little to dispel the tenebrous
: tentacles that spill from the corners like nightmares of the Mad Arab.

Gnarly, dude! Sounds like Lovecraft; somewhat overwrought by today's
standards, but it does capture the feel of the old stories. I'd like to see
it - hopefully copyright infringement won't be an issue.

How far along are you on this? Any projected release date? :)
