Ren'Py
That is a heretical suggestion. Snake language will not be tolerated. The Scheme inquisitors have you on file.

That's the most reasonable option, and the choice of the original. Using Ren'Py has it's advantages since it's popular, free, and there's likely to be Python programmers here. It'd also make it easy to embed a Scheme interpreter into the game, the only other VN doing this being Mahou Gengo Lyrical Lisp, an NScripter game: http://lyrical.bugyo.tk/
If anyone through some sheer miracle ends up contacting the anons who last worked on it, we could pick up where they left off.

To eliminate as many lines of FIOC as possible, one could try using Ren'Py with an embedded Lisp like Hy.
Does anyone have experience with (for example) Dendrite? I'd like to avoid ever dealing with Ren'Py again.
My searches bring up zero results for anything called "Dendrite", please tell me more.

I have my doubts.
Anyway, the ending. The protagonist has an existential crisis and/or mental breakdown over the inherently subjective character of meaning, even with all the power of symbolic computation at his disposal. The snake taunts him and leads him on a wild goose chase through his own unraveling sanity. Finally, he comes to terms with his unsettling phenomenological questions. It appears he may have somehow merged with the snake. He looks in the mirror and declares, "I have read my SICP today."
