Help her scavenge for old technology in the ruined cities and discover ancient secrets about previous civilizations. Between chapters of the story, you will encounter a variety of different puzzles that you must solve to unlock the next chapter.

PuzzleTales is a choose-your-own-brainteaser browser adventure with a demo
Maybe it’s John Walker’s lingering influence, but I’ve been on a bit of a puzzle bender, and PuzzleTales scratches that itch nicely. Part sci-fi short story, part traditional puzzle-book with a little bit of branching game-book to it if you’re smart enough to figure out alternate solutions. The brainchild of author Lavie Tidhar and puzzle-smith Jake Olefsky, it’s perhaps more videogame-adjacent than anything with bleeps and bloops, but you play it in your browser so it’s close enough for me. The first four (of twenty-three) chapters are free to try. You may want note-paper and a pen.
