I like the atmosphere - sort of like the dark, creepy London in Philip Pullman's Sally Lockhart books. Thanks for the link.

Echo Bazaar first introduced it, they can't have derived inspiration from The City and the City in mind when they conceived of the world.

anyway, if anyone would like to add me (or rather my character) they can do so as lady_kensington on Twitter.

I like the game so much that I asked the developers if I could help write them write new content for the game and another online game called Prisoner's Honey that they have in the planning stages. I hope that they will like my submissions and let me write for them.]]> Echo Bazaar http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8778&Focus=256121#Comment_256121 2010-08-19T14:25:30-07:00 2013-05-25T07:03:16-07:00 lazarus corporation http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=630 @Ria13 - I've added you (I'm @lazcorp) I'm very impressed with the content of ECHO BAZAAR - especially for a free (well, freemium, since you can choose to buy extra actions with real-world money) ... @lazcorp)

I'm very impressed with the content of ECHO BAZAAR - especially for a free (well, freemium, since you can choose to buy extra actions with real-world money) browser game. I presume PRISONER'S HONEY is set in the same world, since Prisoner's Honey is mentioned in ECHO BAZAAR.

I'm trying to get myself in the pace of ECHO BAZAAR- at the moment I'm clock-watching while it ticks down the 7 minutes to my next go. Must. pace. self.]]> Echo Bazaar http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8778&Focus=256123#Comment_256123 2010-08-19T14:28:21-07:00 2010-08-19T14:31:45-07:00 Ria13 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=9091 I feel for ya! thanks for the add.

as for whether Prisoner's Honey will take place in the same world because (spoiler for those very new to Echo Bazaar),
Prisoner's Honey allows you to skip from world to world. so I guess that Prisoner's Honey (the game) will allow you to skip between world. only guessing though.
as well, while Failbetter Games want to keep the IP on all elements of Echo Bazaar, they currently would like to put out Prisoner's Honey out on a Creative Commons license.]]> Echo Bazaar http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8778&Focus=256137#Comment_256137 2010-08-19T15:49:41-07:00 2013-05-25T07:03:16-07:00 sacredchao http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1501 I added you both on Twitter as well - sacredchao23 is my handle there.
