Interactive Fiction All-Stars Get Narcoleptic
Thanks to GrandTextAuto for pointing to the newly-released multi-author text adventure called Narcolepsy, spearheaded by multi-XYZZY Award winner Adam Cadre, and featuring contributions from IF luminaries such as Emily Short, Andrew Plotkin, and Stephen Granade. The fairly mysterious readme file promises: "Narcolepsy has several very different plot threads, so even if you get to an ending, you may have only seen a small fraction of what's possible", and the graphics-enabled Blorb-format game should work on a variety of platforms using the correct interpreters.
Andrew Plotkin is amazing. Mac users should try his System's Twilight freeware game, which is somewhere between charming and mind-bending.
If Narcolepsy has even a shade of the stuff Plotkin used in Twilight, conceptually or in puzzles, it can't help but be great.
Glog!
