the.kuribo: Do you know if there are any public wiki's made for the game yet? A quick search engine check didn't net me much in the way of a full resource for the game. But then, I guess using a pre-made one would inevitably lead to some spoilers... so perhaps I'll just go through it as presently designed.
Nope, there's only the html walkthrough which will eventually contain a guide to alchemy. Currently, it has a list of traits which have to be researched one at a time and aren't recorded anywhere, so it's kinda handy if that part of the game annoys you (I liked it -- it was fun to discover a new/unusual/creepy trait -- but I played on the desktop) -- but it's obviously spoilery.
All in all, Andrew Plotkin made a big deal of Hadean Lands being an iPhone game which wouldn't ever have a publicly sold desktop version because ah, iPhones are naturally made for IF and desktops are just
so inconvenient --
If you want to play Hadean Lands on Mac, Windows, Linux -- anything but iOS -- you must pre-order. The Special Runs-Anywhere Limited Edition is only available as a $25 Kickstarter reward. If you wait until next year to buy the game, you will find it available only for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch.
one would think he'd make a game that's actually easier to play on a mobile device than on the desktop. Sigh.
Oh!
If your device is specifically an iPad, you should probably play
Blood and Laurels.
