For those familiar with the original 1998 version, note that a remastered and illustrated edition was released in 2018--worth a replay and a good way of supporting the author! https://store.steampowered.com/app/726870/Anchorhead/

I don't use Steam, but would gladly play this on pretty much anything else.

I didn't think it was on itch.io. I'll go ahead and buy it there. Thanks!

I'll second the recommendation for Anchorhead. It's a great lovecraftian horror, the plot draws you in and it's hard to stop until you finish it. Beware of dead ends though so save often.

I prefer the ultraportable freeware (on any machine with a Z8 machine interpreter), but I'd gladly support the author by other means.
