#3As an aside, the Sorcery games referred to here are very faithful adaptions of Steve Jackson's Sorcery! adventure gamebooks, the pinnacle of the Fighting Fantasy series and total catnip for the eight-year-old version of me. Buying and playing them has been a huge nostalgia trip.

Absolutely! I don't know if it's nostalgia or not, but I always found those to be extremely immersive experiences.

#6If you haven't played 80 Days, it's probably one of the most fun games I've played on my phone. I think I've seen maybe 20% of the total possible content after dozens of playthroughs.

Well, the biggest difference is that Inform is by default built in a way that describes a world, while Ink is built in a way that describes the flow of a narrative.
It's like the difference between Inform and Twine.

I spent pretty much the whole of my Christmas break a after it came out playing it over and over. The art, the writing, the game play, all great.
I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens with this.
