⭐ Memorably bad.
⭐⭐ Mid. Neither good nor bad, but felt like a waste of time.
⭐⭐⭐ Worth playing but forgettable or considerably flawed.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Memorably good, but I probably won't play it again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspiringly good, or just lots of fun. Something I'll probably play again or use as a standard for my own projects.

I tend to score page turning simulators ("IF" that lack interactivity to warrant categorization as IF) low unless the page-turning aspect is diegetic in some way or utilized creatively, or if the story is interesting/well-written enough to make up for the lack of player input/choice.

Uninteractive Fiction, by Damon L. Wakes (as Leah Thargic)   September 26, 2024

"The only interactive fiction to ever get an audible reaction out of me. 10/10, especially with sound on."

A Long Way to the Nearest Star, by SV Linwood   April 27, 2023

"Appears like a typical "outsmart the rogue AI" story in the beginning - and will continue to be that type of story if you let it - but if..." - See the full review
