OK, this is outright amazing. I haven't read it all the way through, but just the parts I read are so good.
Honestly it makes me wonder if I can even find the files I copied from my CURSE floppy disk back in 2001. The last time I tried playing it was like 2007, and I thought maybe I just had a buggy version, but I cannot believe I didn't think to reread the stupid arch inscription. I feel like just knowing that will be enough to get me through if I try again! (Yeah, yeah, I know, it won't be.)
