Frankly amazing story about trying to give a powerpoint presentation, November 4, 2018Sometimes Twine games just click for me, and sometimes they don't.
Two ways they can fail is to either encourage/require you to just click everything, or to have trivial choices that clearly don't effect the story.
This gave really gave me the feeling of strategy. Even if it was an illusion, I felt like I could play a specific kind of character and have it matter.
The game contains some highly unusual events, part of which gets explained near the end of the game. I don't think everyone will love this game, but I know many others who also like it. For me, this is the kind of Twine writing that very few people get right: Hennessay, Dalmady, Corfman, Lutz and Porpentine, a few others. Welch can write with the best!
Well-written and entertaining!, April 16, 2020Dream-like, pleasantly absurd, and humorous, with a definite literary quality. Good fiction, worth. your time.

This list does not include games intended to disgust or to make you personally feel evil. The focus is on games where good overcomes evil, or that just make you think. That is what I mean by "white hat" games. Games like Vespers or...
Games that made me smile by MathBrush
I wanted to do a list of comedy games, but I think people rarely think "I want to play a comedy game"; to me, the phrase brings up some kind of jokey, goofy game, like many of the poorly made Twine games that people make now. Instead,...
