A crazy Aunt bought me one of the physical stones that accompanies the game a few years ago. The markings on it are unique and pair you with another player (who may be on the opposite side of the globe) for help solving the numerous puzzles. Unfortunately, when I contacted my partner, he informed me that he no longer plays the game and couldn't provide help on anything but the most basic riddles. Haven't been to the site in a while, but I believe you can register a psuedo-stone for free, so you don't have to go through the trouble of finding a store that still carries them. http://www.thestone.com/ Completely forgot why I posted a reply: to let you in on The Stone.

I think I made it to level 30 or 35, then gave up. What level did you guys make it to? Never played the two linked, but I spent way too many hours on NotPr0n.

And it strikes a nice counterpoint to the epic length of some of these. Your link, as well as Not Pr0n, makes me think of <a href="http://www.99rooms.com/" rel="nofollow">99 Rooms</a>, another point-and-click Flash game chock-full of ambiance.

It seesm like a precursor to many ARG games and to experimental games like <a href="http://somniumorbis.com/orbis.html" rel="nofollow">this one.</a> This is a really neat project and I wasn’t aware of it before.
