That sounds very cool Evan, kudos for enlightening us all. I'd quite like to sit down and 'play' through that, but I suspect the closest I'll ever get is reading the novel.
Don't suppose it's still in print in any form at all?

I dont mind games that are basically a story more then a game. But this game is certainly more of a book then games like hotel dusk and another code sound similar but there were puzzles to solve in those, but I did feel like i was reading a book more then playing a game. I might look into this one at some stage

Apparently the book's still in print! Amazon apparently has it in stock, which is news to me, because the last time I looked about six years ago I could have sworn it was out of print ...
If you're happy to read it through online, Archive.org has a cached copy of the full text version, largely the same as the game (minus the interface and music).

It's been a while, but the book's now available as a free LRF download. It's easily converted using Calibre to your eBook format of choice.

Well worth a read, especially if you're not keen on playing through what's now a fairly clunky game.
