Guidelines for New Game Listings

  • IFDB is for interactive fiction, which is roughly defined as "adventure" type games that are mostly or entirely text-based. Games with graphical content are allowed as long as they have a significant text component.

  • Don't list non-IF games, such as entirely graphical adventures, RPGs, shooters, etc.

  • Commercial IF is acceptable, whether classic or new. You can add a commercial game of your own, but please read our guidelines about what goes in your listing.

  • Don't add separate listings for different versions of a game. Any given game should have only one listing that covers all of its release versions.
