CircumReality can run on slower computers with less memory. People have run CircumReality on both Linux Wine and a Mac emulator, with some bugs. Please report any bugs; I'd like to do what I can to get CircumReality to run on Linux and Mac.

Note: CircumReality is not yet done! This is a test release.

Click on one of the following links to download the version of CircumReality that meets your needs:

• Standard (190 MB) - Recommended for most people.
  
  
• Standard - 64 bit Windows (190 MB) - Like the "Standard" version above, but for computers running 64-bit Windows. If you don't know what 64-bit Windows is, you probably don't have it.
  
  
• Light-weight (25 MB) - This download is the smallest because the text-to-speech voices have the lowest quality. Download this voice if you (a) would prefer reading dialogue to hearing text-to-speech speak it, or (b) you have a netbook or other low-end computer.
  
  
• High-quality voices - 64 bit Windows (600 MB) - This download includes high-quality text-to-speech voices. You'll need a fast computer (such as a quad-core or newer dual-core), 4 gigabytes of memory, and a to have paid for the full version of CircumReality. You need to be running 64-bit Windows.If you don't know what 64-bit Windows is, you probably don't have it. (Note: During the alpha/beta, if you want to try the large voices then just E-mail me.)
  
  

Pre-release 3.4 (30 May, 2009)

CircumReality isn't finished yet. I'm making this version public so that I can get feedback from adventurous players.

Feel free to download and play CircumReality. Just be aware that it isn't finished, that it has bugs, and that there isn't much content; you'll probably run out of stuff to do after an hour. You may want to check back every 3-4 months to see what has changed. (My next planned content release is in late September.)

User accounts will occasionally be deleted. The world server may be down (because it crashed); if it is down, please E-mail me so I can get it back up!

The current release has small world that should take 1-2 hours to complete.

If you play it, please send me feedback on the following:

• What you think about the gameplay? - CircumReality's gameplay is unusual. It's like a combination of interactive fiction, a computer role-playing game, a MMORPG, and interactive storytelling.

• What were the confusing bits? - The intro-section gameplay is supposed to be easy. If it isn't, or anything is confusing, then please tell me.

• Were the puzzles too difficult/easy? - Getting puzzles to be just the right difficult is always tricky, particularly for the people that wrote the puzzle.

• How long did it take you to complete? - I guesstimate that it'll take 1-2 hours to complete, but I'm not really sure. Some feedback from players would really help here.

• What did you think about the download size? - Is the download too large?

• How is text-to-speech? - Is it understandable? Is it good enough, or ultimately distracting?

• Bugs - Please report any bugs.

Thanks
