Fire on the Water almost as awesome as Smoke on the Water

Having garnered near-unanimous praise and placed first in the NEO Spring Compo's DS game category with Lone Wolf: Flight from the Dark, Project Aon is readying another homebrew port of the Lone Wolf "gamebooks," this time for the second book in the series, Fire on the Water.
Project Aon has already posted a release candidate for the game, allowing users to download and try out the visual novel before its final release. As with Flight from the Dark, the sequel allows readers to take control of the story with RPG-inspired elements, such as branching narrative options and character customization (e.g. skills, disciplines).
In addition to fixes and general improvements, Fire on the Water now features four new music tracks, an improved game engine for handling more complex events, merchants, and mini-games. If you haven't jumped into the homebrew scene yet, now is a good time!

Looks interesting ^_^
But why does it use phrases like 'turn to page 141'? I mean, wouldn't a game/novel like this be able to do away with something archaic like page numbers? Why not just list the options and keep the internals hidden from the user?

I've tried a few times to download the first Lonewolf title, but after the publishers splash screen, my DS goes dark . . . like it's locked up. Any suggestions?
