Thank you for the quick reply!  Appreciate that detail and will certainly check the game and books out.  Book .... #10!  Wow and great news to hear a "2" will be coming.  Since you are the author of the game(s), I think it would be fair to say technically the added side-quests would then be "canon", too?    Well, unless the main character died in-game during a side-quest, that wouldn't work ...  haha.

I'm very glad to have found this. What I like most is how you are taking your own fiction into the game.  I once wrote that I thought that Below the Root (Zilpha Keatley Snyder) for the C64 and a few other computers at the time was a rare (the only?) example of expanding on canon world fiction for previously published novels within a game - approved and directed by the author - and has been rarely replicated since.  Of course you are breaking another barrier which is actually being the one to program the game! So I must ask -- without having read your books and only having just found the game, does this game expand upon your canon world lore in any way - or is it more of a "based on the books" approach?   Thank you, - Robinson Mason 

Beautiful game.  I managed to play through it without realizing I had a flashlight - so some areas were inexplicably dark for me of course. If I had one bit of constructive criticism it is that the main character and her mother's images are not up to par with the rest of the ultra-realistic scenery, as in they look like very old Poser faces.  I think Daz3D today could be used for free to create more realistic renders of faces.  

A very imaginative and immersive environment. I want to play more but don't have patience for jumping puzzles.- That said, the jumping is quite forgiving once you get used to it, I just am not very good at it I guess.

Excellent work, Tom! Glad to see more C64 games being created.
