CHICAGO — November 16, 2009 — Today, Textfyre announces the general release of their second Interactive Fiction game, The Shadow in the Cathedral. This is the first episode in the Klockwerk Series, designed by Ian Finley and Jon Ingold. Shadow represents an ambitious adventure set in an Edwardian world with Newtonian devices. Within the world of Klockwerk, you will be confronted by ornithopters, a Difference Engine, a tea machine, a perpetual motion machine, and the mysterious Shadow in Gray. Emily Short reviews Shadow on PlayThisThing.Com and says, “The Shadow in the Cathedral gave me seven or eight hours of solid play, and when I was done there were things I went back to try in different ways. There's some beautiful imagery.”
