Evidence scope
The upstream README describes an independent rewrite (scene-by-scene tracing, none of the original program code), dual Apache-2.0 OR MIT licensing, BYO game-copy policy, and a documented known issue on the final chase. No REA involvement is claimed.
Know before you try
No game data included; player must supply their own copy. Younger project with documented bugs (e.g. final Mulder chase cannot be won with normal clicks). Linux/native coverage varies. We have not independently tested it.
Status
Playable end-to-end per author; known issues remain
