They should be identical; I just like to host web stuff myself as well when possible.  You can also install and play it via the [itch app](https://itch.io/app).\n\n**WARNING: THIS IS A NARRATIVE PUZZLE GAME.  THIS REPOSITORY CONTAINS THE FULL SOURCE CODE AND ALL ILLUSTRATIONS.  EVEN CASUALLY BROWSING THESE FILES WILL VERY LIKELY SPOIL THE GAME.  PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.**\n\n## The source code\n\nIt's in `Star Anise Chronicles: Escape from the Chamber of Despair.inform/Source/story.ni`.  What a mouthful!\n\nIllustrations are in `Star Anise Chronicles: Escape from the Chamber of Despair.materials/Figures/`.\n\nI suspect, in retrospect, that the colons might cause problems on non-Linux systems, but at the time I didn't intend to release the source code.\n\nSome extensions are used, but I _believe_ they're all included standard with Inform 7.\n\n## Building\n\nThere's a Linux Makefile.  You'll need to have Inform 7 installed, and you may need to edit `Makefile` (or just provide `INFORM7_BIN`) to point to wherever it is for you.  Hey, it works on my machine™!\n\nThen you can simply run\n\n```\nmake\n```\n\nto build a GLULX (without images), or\n\n```\nmake gblorb\n```\n\nto build a GBLORB with images bundled.\n\nOr you could just open the damn thing in Inform 7 and build it there.  Why are you building this anyway?\n\n----\n\nWorth note: the actual released copy is _not_ what you get from a simple Inform 7 build (which I believe fails to include the images correctly); I only build the gblorb, then drop that into a folder of web assets that I put together myself (in `/publish/`).  It's far easier than making an Inform 7 template, and it lets me use a more recent version of the Quixe interpreter.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Feevee%2Fanise-escape-despair","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Feevee%2Fanise-escape-despair","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Feevee%2Fanise-escape-despair/lists"}
