Hm. I'm trying to remember what brought this up, but I have a feeling that ravenworks might enjoy this - Planetarium is something that I've mentioned on my LJ quite a long time ago, but it's still there, and probably still just as cool - a puzzle-game that comes in 12 weekly installments, of which it's topped-off with an only-one-week-access to the "xiii Forum" where you can discuss the game with other people who are in the Forum (and read previous entries, likely mine's in there somewhere). I remember that the puzzles are difficult but there's definitely a great satisfaction in working out the puzzles as you go.

I also discovered that the other Beholder projects (including a never-released game I was so intruiged to try - Six Beasties) includes a new project that was released as a 10-year anniversary edition of Planetarium titled The Knot-Hole Man. It looks like an intruiging read, and I'd love to support the people behind Planetarium but unfortunately, for some odd reason, they can't ship to Canada (though they can ship to USA, strangely enough).

In any case - Planetarium, go check it out, I bet I'll hear back from some of you in 12 weeks :P

Oh, man... my whole family used to try and do books like that on vacation... those books always made me feel so stupid, because I didn't know how to approach them, they're just completely oblique. X3

Oh, you mean those strange puzzle books where it doesn't really make much sense until you've read through everything?

Now that I think about it, this is like that kind of puzzle book, isn't it... just in weekly installments with HTML links rather than a physical entity...
