If you like the website you should try his game mentioned there, Hypnospace Outlaw. It's hours of reading stuff like that. And you can get all the Granny Cream's Hot Butter Ice Cream you want.

Hypnospace is a classic. I was sad that Dreamsettlers was canceled. Love puzzle-y games where the puzzles are seamlessly integrated into the worldbuilding (Chants of Sennaar is another good example of this, IMO)

The music in particular was so good - I was still listening to Klyfta and Barnaby's Chair long after I finished my second (third?) playthrough

Yeah it was. And I think it had full albums in it somewhere. The music in Dropsy was great too.
