2026 Review-a-thon - games seeking reviews (authors only) - an IFDB Poll

The IF Review-a-thon is an event meant to spur reviews of games that haven't received much reviewing attention. If you're an IF author who would like more reviews of your work, feel free to submit your eligible works (up to three per author) to this poll!

To be eligible for inclusion in Review-a-thon, a work should:
- Have fewer than 5 reviews across IFDB and the intfiction.org forum.
- Not have been included in a prior Review-a-thon.
- Not include any art, code, or writing produced by generative AI.

All eligible works submitted will go onto the list for Review-a-thon 2026, which is scheduled to run in July. For more information on the event, see the Review-a-thon webpage. This poll will close on June 28, 2026.

(Note: Any works not submitted by their authors will be removed.)
