I saw this posted over at https://dreamcast-news.blogspot.com/ so credit to them for spotting this first.

new game for dreamcast: Tristam Island by Hugo Labrande. It is a downloadable text adventure. Hugo originally made it for windows/macos/linux but when you buy you get access to disc images for 36 different platforms! Dreamcast is one of them.

Minimum price is 3.99 USD or you can pay more if you want to support developer.

A textual adventure today is rather original ...
Reminds me of the days of SRAM for those who knew :D
Being French unfortunately, I don't see myself ordering it, my level of English being too low :)

Although I don’t have interest in this game myself, it’s super cool that it exists!
