Great story, eerie atmosphere, awesome animations and, above-all, mindboggling puzzles which when finally solved give you a great sense of achievement.

Lately, due to work and personal interest I have been experimenting with Unity. It is a very nice and simple 3D engine with a lot to offer in terms of features and capabilities. I am hoping that in the following months I will be able to use it in order to perform a re-write of […]

Some day soon I hope to make my implementation available on the Haskell libraries repository (Hackage). Thanks goes to the folk at the Haskell irc channel #haskell who […]
