This was a mammoth effort by 80+ authors and programmers organized by Ryan Veeder and Jenni Polodna to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the classic work of horror interactive fiction &quot;Anchorhead&quot; by Michael Gentry.<p>It was written in &quot;Exquisite Corpse&quot; style where each author was unaware of the details of other author&#x27;s contributions, with Ryan and Jenni providing the interfaces between different rooms. It thus varies wildly in style, tone, and feel; individual rooms can be story-focused, puzzle-focused, or somewhere in between.<p>The whole is a gigantic work that is puzzle-dense and which will alternately delight, amuse, confound, and horrify. Do not expect to jump in and finish it in an afternoon; it&#x27;s taken weeks for contributing authors just to find their individual rooms during pre-release testing and debugging.
