You’re now able to continue hunting for the Semashar with 117 new choices across 39K words of story.[/p][p]We’ve got intrigue.[/p][p]We’ve got horror and suspense.[/p][p]Angst.

(You’ll know what this is when you see it.)[/p][p]There are several new hat-tip easter eggs to other influential science-fiction stories that inspired us.[/p][p]We’ve even got a mini puzzle.[/p][p]We’ve tried a ton of new things this time around, and while I was nervous at first, the Beta tester feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. (While we’re on the topic of Beta testers, they all deserve a solid headnod. Their feedback was instrumental in turning a good release into a great one. We were able to add 38 distinct improvements out of the 50ish identified could-be-betters. It’s far from perfect, but it’s definitely a very different experience from what was Beta tested.)[/p][p]The release is currently only available to Patrons, and we’re aiming to make it publicly available to everyone closer to the end of March 2026.
