I downloaded the demo and could not get it to run. I uninstalled it because the tech problems I was having from the begining. I see that others are having problems also so maybe I will wait until the glitches are worked out and try it again.

It's impressive that the team did enough research to discover that Mark Twain, like a lot of bright people of his generation and the next, believed Donnelly's book the Great Cryptogram. My father was the next generation up, and as a young man thought that Shakespeare couldn't have written the plays. My mother, a Shakespeare worshipper all her days, set my dad straight. I have a notion that attribution to Marlowe was a popular conspiracy theory a century ago.
I don't really care that the story in Devil on the Mississippi makes no sense. For example, why give Rogers a surname, Huddlestone I think, that was his middle name? It took me a while to track him because I kept thinking he had to be the fictional fellow Clemens buried in a story about someone getting woven into carpet. Anyway, I didn't care that changing Rogers' name was odd or that he seemed to be a villain without a purpose because I enjoyed discovering that Clemens and Tesla were friends and that membersof the Clemens family were Union spies.
Devil on the Mississippi shows that the historical wing of casual game development is on the right track. All that is lacking is narrative structure which is a flaw shared by almost every good adventure and casual game and one that I have become accustomed to. I play casual games for the adventure elements and begrudge every moment of HOG screens. I love knowing that someone took the time to incorporate intriguing facts about the main character into a computer game. Hats off. I make a sweeping and courtly bow.
