1-14 of 14 - Edo, November 10, 2023 >INVENTORY - Paul O'Brian writes about interactive fiction This file has nothing to offer as IF. Its writing is difficult, sometimes impossible, to understand. It might make an interesting pamphlet, if somebody who is fluent in English gave it a major editorial overhaul. What it's doing in an interactive fiction competition remains an unanswered question.

A series of speculative essays accessed by a menu, April 16, 2016by MathBrush This game is a series of essays about "What if major historical events had happened differently?" Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Not what I need, January 12, 2014by Simon Deimel (Germany) This project is not bad in itself, but it does not fit into the category of a game; it is a collection of articles about alternate histories. It may serve educational purposes, yes, it may even be informative. If someone wants to read a number of essays, that is. But I suppose that is not what people search for in Inform projects; they want text based games with interactivity and a positive ending that can be reached. Nothing of it can be found here.

Not a game but not necessarily a waste, December 3, 2010by tggdan3 (Michigan) One of the things I noticed on the inform7's website was its usefulness in classrooms. It seems like the author here was trying to portray history (or possible alternate histories) in a unique way which could better benefit his classroom. Was this review helpful to you?

Rather watch grass grow, December 2, 2010by Aintelligence (Canada) Ok, this author maybe needs to realize that all of what was described did not happen, and I personally don't want to spend the day reading bogus historical essays.

Not a game, October 19, 2007"What-IF?" isn't a game at all. It's simply a menu-driven collection of essays. I didn't find the essays particularly interesting, either, so this game has no saving grace, as far as I am concerned. This 'game' is just a waste of time; I'd recommend avoiding it.
