Semi-frequent IF reviewer. I like to play games that have less coverage and are more obscure, and prefer parser-based, although I've found a few choice-based ones I really liked.

Around 2022-2024, I developed a few games: Jimin, Ari, and Shush is a demo piece for something I didn't yet have the knowledge to make into a full game. Bradisson Rayburn's Revenge! is a parser adventure that I pushed myself to develop on a time crunch, and while I'm happy with how it came out, I never got the drive to develop any more games after it.

My other two games are unlisted, and will be permanently. It's not because I don't like them, but more due to conflicting personal reasons.
