I absolutely loved this game. I half believe you about finding the strongbox, and I half don’t. But still, “End of the World” was epic and chilling, and “Morning in the Garden” was a nice retelling of the original. I think what I loved about it all is how you wrote it (or converted it into IF). I’ve always loved your prose, and this was no exception.

Anyway, whether inspired or original, I applaud you.

You had me going with the backstory for a bit. Sounded unlikely but plausible, merely a strange series of coincidences, a real life discovery of something incredible, almost Lovecraftian. I didn’t really question it until “a story about lunch.” Then it kind of struck me in the gut as too contrived. Good one though, gonna check it out now.

I was referring to the backstory. The game is obviously real, but the backstory has me torn. The orphaned note is too uncannily similar to Inform 7, but I still want the backstory to be true.

The game is very much real.

Not necessarily. It could be about too much breakfast, or about moderation in eating.

Isn’t “Morning in the Garden” also a story about lunch?

It has just occurred to me that this may be an April Fool’s prank. If so, bravo. I haven’t gotten around to playing the game very much because it’s late over here, but what I have seen and read looks fantastic. The main reason I believed your ruse, if it is indeed a ruse, is because I truly wanted it to be real.
