July 25: New patch today. For a text adventure called Samurai Sword. Yeah, you know the type. The mechanics by now are probably seared into your skull:

Look. You find a key.
Take. You take the key.
Check. It's an ornate key.

It's not half-bad, though. The story follows your clueless hero as he teams up with a feisty mage to overthrow the ultimate et cetera. If you played Crystal Dragon and got frustrated by all the backtracking and reloading and waiting around, there's not so much of that here. Anyway, I liked the opening theme song so I decided to translate the game. It might not be your thing, but check it out, you never know.
