I really want to release this game, but my beta testers are still getting the kinks out of it, so I hope you'll forgive a transparent attempt to generate some buzz.

Spoiler: show
Coming Soon: An Interactive Fiction: Nautilisia

What is "Nautilisia?" Nautilisia is adventure.

An exclusive preview of some words that the author of this game wrote:
From here you can go back southeast, or you can go northeast, in which direction you can discern an unearthly glow.

But first, gaze into that pool of still water, and see the face of your destiny.

Nautilisia is high fantasy.

More of those words that that guy wrote:
The gulf that this enchanted beach envelops is itself enchanted, or ensorcelled, with a magical glamour which makes everyone who sees it want to just sit around and take a break for once in their lives. It symbolizes taking a break for once in your life.

Nautilisia is a philosophical tour de force.

The author of this game also wrote:
Time is meaningless. Time is just a giant hole, and our lives fall into the hole. And nothing means anything, forever.

Critics are already saying:

"Nautilisia is a philosophical tour de force." - Ryan Veeder
"GOTY 2012." - someone has probably said this at some point
"I hope you dropped it. - Robert Rothman
"This game will blow you away." - ign.com

Nautilisia will be released pretty soon, depending on how this week goes.

That means this one is... not a game about crime?

*sad*

Honestly, I can't wait. :)

I'm looking forward to typing "take break" while on the enchanted beach. I've always wanted to carry around a break in my inventory (assuming, of course, that it doesn't give me a break in an important bone).

My common sense told me not to.

I actually put an Easter egg-ish reference to the "no tea" thing in
Spoiler: show
The Spy Who Ate Lunch
