Hi! I am contacting creators/developers on behalf of a graduate researcher studying how Lovecraft is represented in games. If you have time to complete a 10-minute survey about Eldritch World, please send a message to: masonsmith [at] tamu [dot] edu.
Apparently the Linux binary is chicken-csi, so either symlink it, or change it in the first line of eldritch.scm (make sure the -s is still there!)
If you're having troubles running it, make sure you can reach your Chicken 5 install:

Version 5.0.0 (rev 12f2f2cc)

If not, figure out where it installed and add that to PATH, or just:
PATH=/usr/local/bin ./src/eldritch.scm
