Freelance Alchemist, my new game for e4.com, went live yesterday.
As of this posting it looks like it’s embedded at the wrong size, so it’s showing some funky things beyond the border it was intended. Hopefully that will get resolved soon.
This is a text-command game, and isn’t as casual as most Flash games. I drew some inspiration from Nethack, obviously not so much in game mechanics as trying to create an experience where reward was based on investment in learning labyrinthine details of the game.
Unlike other games I will release a fairly detailed walk-through soon, I hoped to release one at the date of release but I had the date pushed up on me.
In the meantime definitely post and questions, and certainly any bugs found, here.

The guy north of the shop warns you not to go east, but the snake is west.

I had to send in a fix for a horrible font embed mistake I made, so I put in that correction as well.
Looks like’s it’s displaying at the right dimensions now also.
