I finished An Act of Murder a while ago and want to play more games like that, where to get to solve the murder yourself. If you could tell me some of your recommendations that..."

So, I'm looking for some long, engrossing games that don't require the player to draw maps...." by Ant-Fan - 68 votes for 36 games, last vote on August 12, 2022; created on July 8, 2013"I'm looking for games from the sci-fi genre. I would prefer classic-style games, even if they're not classics (such as 'Across The Stars') because one of my all-time favorites is Planetfall, but really, anything goes."

Leave a brief, unspoilery-as-possible title for the puzzle in the..."

Without doubt the most satisfaction I've had from finishing a game has been Admiral Jota's Lost Pig, and I would love to hear about other games..."

Some bugs can help you in certain situations, perhaps even to bypass puzzles, and they can sometimes provide positively..."

The management has asked..."

Interactive fiction is dominated by the iconic second person narrative (*You* find yourself in a room). But this is not the only way that these stories could be told. I'm looking for those games out there..."
