==Notable Features==
Unusually, the game source has been released under a [[Creative Commons]] licence and has been maintained as a community project [https://emshort.blog/2016/04/23/counterfeit-monkey-transfer/ since 2016], so it has continued to receive occasional releases with (minor) new content and bugfixes over a decade since its original release, driven by people other than the original author (especially [[Dannii Willis]] and [[Petter Sjölund]]). See the [https://github.com/i7/counterfeit-monkey/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md change log (spoilers!)].
As well as its XYZZY awards, ''Counterfeit Monkey'' has won multiple events ranking the greatest interactive fiction of all time, including the [[Free IF Playoffs 2024]], both the 2019 and 2023 editions of the [[Interactive Fiction Top 50]], and many versions of the [https://ifdb.org/viewlist?id=k7rrytlz3wihmx2o IFDB Top 100]. As of August 2024, ''Counterfeit Monkey'' was the highest-rated game with at least 20 reviews on [[IFDB]].
