Games like Glowgrass

by Timewalker - 3 votes for 2 games, last vote on August 22, 2014; created on February 9, 2013

"I'm looking for games like glowgrass which have a puzzle taking place in less than about five rooms, and also requiring common sense."

Glulx Hyperlinks

by Jeremy Freese - 5 votes for 5 games, last vote on March 2, 2021; created on January 7, 2013

"I was playing around a bit with a couple of the Glulx hyperlinks extensions, and this led me to be interested in looking at some games that have been written in Glulx and make use of hyperlinks."

All the Pretty Sources

by Jeremy Freese - 30 votes for 21 games, last vote on January 1, 2023; created on December 20, 2012

"IF games that have source code available that you'd hold up as an example of what good looking source code is supposed to look like. (I was motivated to post this by wanting to study some I7 source, but actually pretty source from other..."

Best games you've played in 2012

by Molly - 29 votes for 18 games, last vote on December 16, 2020; created on December 15, 2012

"The year of our lord Two Thousand Twelve is almost over, so let's reflect back on the games we've played this year and see which ones we liked the most. Note that the games don't have to have come out in 2012 to be eligible for this..."

Combat puzzle games

by Jeremy Freese - 33 votes for 18 games, last vote on December 31, 2023; created on December 12, 2012

"What I'm looking for are games that have fights that are ostensibly combat, but the solution to winning the fight is really a matter of solving a puzzle."

Vast but not Cruel

by Floating Info - 37 votes for 13 games, last vote on January 21, 2024; created on December 10, 2012

"I'd like to see games that are long and spacious, yet aren't Cruel (or very Nasty) on the Zarfian scale. Essentially, games that the main reason for saving is for time or the occasional timed part."

IF that purposely conceals crucial player character information

by Puddin Tame - 65 votes for 21 games, last vote on May 13, 2024; created on October 28, 2012

"IF that doesn't explicitly clue players in on knowledge they would/should have if they actually were the player character (The character's motivation, interests, relevant parts of their past etc.), which, for good or bad, results in some..."

Child authored IF

by Hulk Handsome - 15 votes for 12 games, last vote on September 11, 2024; created on October 24, 2012

"It's incredibly unlikely to find a game created by a child (12 years or under) that's actually well made, but they can still be enjoyable. It's fun to see a young ones imagination run wild, limited only by their... likely poor coding..."

Up, Up, and Away: IF starring super heroes

by Molly - 22 votes for 13 games, last vote on May 25, 2024; created on October 11, 2012

"It's often been said that super-heroes are a poor fit for IF, given the reliance of the former on flashy, colorful costumes and fights. But let it never be said that some poor bastards didn't try. What are some notable attempts at..."

IF for wannabe Authors

by SinfoolGamer - 12 votes for 10 games, last vote on October 17, 2012; created on September 26, 2012

"For all the wannabe IF Authors out there, what games would you recommend they play/research? Hopefully looking for multiple types (best & worst IF) and also IF with sounds/pictures/animation & with well done feelies (maps, letters,..."

Best games of the last 12-18 months?

by Tobi Tesuji - 31 votes for 14 games, last vote on September 19, 2014; created on September 23, 2012

"I haven't looked at any new games since more than one year. So, what did I miss? What are the best/most interesting games of the last 12-18 months?"

This Is Who We Are

by Sam Kabo Ashwell - 66 votes for 31 games, last vote on October 7, 2024; created on September 12, 2012

"A considerable number of games exist largely as the commentary of the IF community (or some subset of it) upon the medium and the community itself. These works are likely to be befuddling to outsiders, but provide windows onto blah blah..."

NPC-less Exploration

by Dannii - 26 votes for 16 games, last vote on August 6, 2022; created on September 2, 2012

"Supposedly one of IFs strengths is for exploring places with few other people, often abandoned places, but I can't think of many works which have zero NPCs and consist of a lot of exploration. Usually there's at least one NPC, or the..."

Neil Armstrong Commemorative Space Poll

by Joey Jones - 34 votes for 17 games, last vote on December 31, 2023; created on August 25, 2012

"I'm hankering to play a good space-themed game. That is to say, a game not necessarily set in space, but a game that is in some way about space or our relation to space. Any takers?"

I am new to interactive fiction, could anyone recommend a game for me?

by Urtikor - 38 votes for 21 games, last vote on January 31, 2021; created on August 19, 2012

"Hello, I just recently came across interactive fiction and I want to try it out and see if it's my kind of thing. I tried Dreamhold for maybe half an hour, but even though it seemed well written, solving puzzles isn't interesting for me...."

Games with a Halloween theme

by Cuxxu - 24 votes for 19 games, last vote on January 3, 2023; created on August 10, 2012

"Some of us over on boardgamegeek/videogamegeek/rpggeek are starting a interactive fiction-of-the-month club. It was discussed having a game with a Halloween Theme for October. Most of the people will be fairly new to IF. Any suggestions?"

Games featuring music

by Karl Ove Hufthammer - 28 votes for 21 games, last vote on September 30, 2024; created on July 29, 2012

"I have always thought that music has a huge potential for enhancing IF, more so than graphics has. So what are the best examples of IF games that use music? Note that this poll does not include games with only sound effects; they have to..."

Lost Treasures of the IF Comp

by Molly - 21 votes for 14 games, last vote on August 26, 2022; created on June 21, 2012

"It seems that for every Comp game that's still talked about today (e.g., Slouching Towards Bedlam, Shade, Photopia, etc.), there's ten or so that have been almost completely forgotten; some of them even placed in the top ten or higher...."

Comfort Food IF

by Molly - 32 votes for 21 games, last vote on January 1, 2023; created on June 11, 2012

"Lately I've been chasing away the blues by playing through my IF backlog. This made me wonder, what IF do you play as a pick-me-up? Maybe it's something that calms and soothes you, maybe it's really funny, or maybe it just distracts you..."

The Modern Zorkalikes

by Ghalev - 19 votes for 11 games, last vote on September 3, 2020; created on June 2, 2012

"My desire is straightforward, but proving difficult to satisfy. I want games that are like the Zork games might have been, given a more contemporary set of design ideals. It seems to be an abandoned playing field in some ways, as if the..."
