If I may, I'd like to mention a text editor that I am making as an example of relevant skeuomorphism. It's called Tentacle Typer. It makes regular ol' .txt files in mostly the traditional way, but you write text documents as an eldritch tentacle monster with a magic mechanical typewriter inside a steampunk sandbox. https://twitter.com/LeapJosh/status/1469737611824713739 https://twitter.com/LeapJosh/status/1469737611824713739

As a person who collects text editors: Wow. Thanks for sharing.

  My pleasure. I hope it earns a place in your collection when I'm ready to release. (Trying my best for a demo this month.) I think one of the coolest features is that you learn different spells depending on what you write. For example, if you write horror you'll learn spookier spells than if you write romance or technobabble. https://twitter.com/LeapJosh/status/1519398797079625733 https://twitter.com/LeapJosh/status/1519398797079625733 and then you create rituals using those spells powered by yet more writing.

  I have been doing my best!

    Oh sure! But I must admit, after looking at the video, that I still don't get the story behind it... Is it that one types orders for its character on a typewriter ? If so, that's a very nice twist to the usual text adventure !
