“The Shadow in the Cathedral” is one of the best IF games released this year. Maybe not the best, but that would be a large claim to make considering that it’s competing with Blue Lacuna, Make It Good, The King of Shreds and Patches, the top couple comp games… it’s been a good year for IF.
But Shadow definitely belongs in the top tier.

Thanks for reviewing this. I have it in my to-play list. Your review is very encouraging.
Thanks! Glad to help.
I’m looking forward to more people having played, so I can discuss some of the spoilery stuff.
Note that playthisthing.com is gone…it would be nice if the review still existed somewhere.
Hm. I can’t find it in the Wayback Machine, and while I have a directory with the text of a lot of my PTT reviews, I don’t see one for Shadow. I do have the text for the Homer in Silicon review, but that’s still online anyway.
I can think of two possibilities here: either I mentioned a PTT review of Shadow that was by someone *else* (this feels unlikely, but this is long enough ago that I can’t remember for sure), or it was by me but I wrote it in some place/on some computer that didn’t stash a copy where I can now find it.
I found it.

You had a different review somewhere too. I can’t recall where that one was though.
