To be honest, i have never heard of Ishmael Gilder or the text adventure “The Magic Circle” before. And still, these were the EXACT words that i saw when i visited the games homepage just now:

“A tale so epic, it took twenty years to perfect. The most anticipated game of all time. The Magic Circle is the long-awaited modern successor to the classic text adventure of the same name.”

By the sound of it, it almost sound like “The Magic Circle” would be the text based version of Half-Life 3 (based on the hype level). And you know what they say right?

If you´re cocky, then you better have something to backup your cockiness with. But hey, “The Magic Circle” is said to be “he modern successor to the classic text adventure”.

The epicness begins when i say so!

I have to admit that i really like the trailer for the game though. As it displays some really impressing real-time 3d visuals with an unique design style.

Nothing much have been said about “The Magic Circle” since last year though. And there´s just one single trailer for the game so far. So i sure hope that there will be a new trailer for “The Magic Circle” in the near future.

But for now, the game will be on my mind until that day comes.

About The Magic Circle:
A tale so epic, it took twenty years to perfect. The most anticipated game of all time. The Magic Circle is the long-awaited modern successor to the classic text adventure of the same name.
