This game is written in TADS 3 which, being still under development,
is a somewhat moving target in terms of releases. What this means for
you, the player, is that you might not have the right interpreter, or
the right version of the interpreter, to play this game. If so, don't
look on the if-archive, as that has a somewhat out of date version of
TADS 3. Instead, if you're on Windows or some unix-alike, go to the TADS 3
download page (http://www.tads.org/t3dl.htm) and download the
interpreter from there (unix platforms will need to compile it
themselves, of course, although I can send you a linux binary if you
need one). Macintosh users should head over to http://www.hypertads.org
and get the interpreter from there: it's not quite the latest version
but it should still be playable.
