Games good for reading aloud to someone else - an IFDB Poll
by tunesmith
RSS FeedI'm looking for IF that works well for reading aloud to someone else, and then typing in what they would like to do. We like Inform games and parser games in general. So games that are a little more story focused, and with not as much emphasis on traveling long distances by directional commands. (We tried Bronze this way and it wasn't the best fit since there's a lot of room hopping.)
