Shadow of the Torturer Video Game?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Well, Padre, my guess is that the impulse was similar to that shown by the
character in _Peace_ who forged the Necronomicon and other much-desired
books. Some things we want so much that we create them in fiction if we
cannot have them in reality, even if the fiction is both pleasurable and...
a torture.
