The narrator speaks again

The original CD narration has a warmth nothing else can replace, but also its flaws: noise, and words that were never quite clear. Lines that cleaned up well keep the original recording. The rest are spoken fresh from the script by an AI voice clone of the original narrator, with Sierra’s untouched recording guiding the pitch, the excitement and the timing. All four Intro rooms are done.

The narrator’s text box became a parchment scroll with a candle burning beside it, and the text fades softly at the rolls.

Also new: an HD time dial on the action bar, with night and dawn now driven by the game clock.
