What game first got you interested in IF? (2013–present) - an IFDB Poll

What game first got you interested in interactive fiction? This may, or may not, be the first IF game you ever played. Respond to this poll only if you first played the game IN 2013 OR LATER; otherwise, respond to one of the two other similarly-titled polls. Select a poll based on when you first played the game, not when the game was published.

Other polls: 1994 and earlier, 1995–2012
