Saint Paul saw Jesus on the road to Damascus. Constantine witnessed the holy cross rising from the sun. This very day, you can see Nemesis Macana on the screen of your personal computer, and who knows what conversion may follow? – [Author’s statement]

Pretty funny. The siren has a lot to say…
Err, that was meant for Nautilisia.
This on the other hand is strange. Seems like a parody, but not sure of what exactly.
This game, apparently: https://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=kvw4jbopz0ly85jm
Also Hamlet and Moby Dick.
And Freud, I guess. Maybe. Does using “phallus” and “totem” in the same sentence still equal Freud? Or is it just really generic by this point?
That was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. And goodness me it was incredibly weird seeing bits of Mody Dick and Hamlet popping up in there.
It’s also hilarious that the very first use of Melville, Shakespeare, IF history and a Derrida allusion in a game is also a massive porn joke.
I’m quite certain that is how Derrida would have wanted it. 🙂 And Shakespeare as well, of course.
rendering gets a bit screwed up for me (firefox 12/osx 10.7) – https://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj200/increpatio/ScreenShot2012-05-24at125533.png
That’s probably a bug in the web player. I suggest getting the Gargoyle interpreter: https://code.google.com/p/garglk/downloads/list (for Windows or Linux), and the game file: https://lilith.cc/~victor/nemesis/Nemesis.zblorb
