An Exercise for the Reader
... a huge, multifaceted, roller-coaster ride of a game
Mostly, it’s a hilarious parody of multiplayer online RPGs. But it also works as an enjoyable RPG in itself. Then there are puzzles to solve, several IF references (I caught another one today, this time to Hadean Lands), and Easter eggs galore.

Bitterly Indifferent
... a sprawling assortment of wonders.
Cursèd Pickle of Shireton is a choice-based facsimile of an MMORPG where you can explore, take quests, build stats, and grind for experience. There is an entire adventure outside of the titular pickle's storyline, packed with outright comedy, subtle in-jokes, and external references that are serious and silly.
