Attempting to read and review all the interactive fiction I can get my hands on. These works should be shared widely and appreciated more. There is genius here, in the prose and the lines of code.

As of February 2025, the way I score works is as follows (a grateful modification of the criteria made famous by MathBrush):
- a star for presentation and implementation
- a star for being interactive enough
- a star for overall writing, plot and worldbuilding quality
- a star if it emotionally connected with me
- a star if I felt I understood it properly, or if I didn't, it was through no fault of the work!

Back to the reading mines!
