On Tuesday, September 30, 2025, I published new walkthroughs for the games and stories listed below! Some of these were paid for by my wonderful patrons at Patreon. Please consider supporting me to make even more new walkthroughs for works of interactive fiction at Patreon and Ko-fi.
1. House of Dream of Moon by Admiral Jota, Sam Kabo Ashwell, Tom Blawgus, Ricardo Dague, N. B. Horvath, Carl Muckenhoupt, Marius Müller, Jacqueline A. Lott, Mark Musante (2007) Average member rating: (2 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this ten-sectioned exquisite corpse, you play as Dave, and you've just bought a new house. Your furniture isn't here yet, so it's a good time to explore the nearby woods. But before you get that far, Leslie's disembodied voice tells you you're stuck in a simulation.
2. Tin Star by Gianluca Girelli, Garry Francis (2025) Average member rating: (3 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this western game, you play as Kenneth Johnson, the sheriff of Tucson. Bandits robbed the Bank, but when you pursued them, you fell into their trap. They tied you up and left you to die under the unforgiving summer sun. Free yourself, find water, then find those bandits and mete out justice.
3. Desperados by Gianluca Girelli (2025) Average member rating: (3 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this western, you play as Kenneth Johnson, the sheriff of Tucson. Manolo Ramirez and his gang attacked a small community of settlers, kidnapped the girls and killed everyone else before returning to Mexico where the law can't legally follow. So you left your tin star behind with your deputy and pursued them on your own. The hunt has taken days, but as you now approach a village ravaged by those murderers, you vow again to make them pay!
4. Clickbait by Reilly Olson (2025) Average member rating: (7 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this game, you play as a wage slave playing hooky to participate in an online contest about abandoned buildings. Top prize goes to a photo of "something never meant to be seen". You snuck into an old metro tunnel you read about on Reddit, but the way in locked behind you. So you also need to find a way out.
5. The Abyss, by Jamie Phelan (2015) David Welbourn says:
This is a very tiny minimalist and nihilistic interactive fiction toy inspired by a quote by Friedrich Nietzsche. Don't expect much. No endings.
Here, in this mythic play, where fates entwine,
You, Belinda, stand by Dido, Queen divine.
Her sister loyal, in this game of old,
A tale of love and treachery unfolds.
Aeneas, prince of Troy, his heart aflame,
Proclaims his love, and calls upon her name.
You urged her to accept, with joyful plea,
This union blessed, for all eternity.
But hark! Dark whispers through the shadows creep,
Foul plots now stir, as dangers rise so steep.
Their happiness, their very lives, in peril lie,
Now, Belinda's task: to save them ere they die!
7. Old fogey by Simon Deimel (2015) Average member rating: (3 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this one-room game, you play as Kaylee Rivers, an eight year-old living in Talliston, Idaho. Your living room has a seriously creepy painting of an old fogey that you want to get rid of. Your parents ordered you to never ever touch it, but they're not here, at least for the next fifteen minutes or so. Maybe this is your chance.
8. Shadow Soldiers, by Arvind Pillai (2007) David Welbourn says:
In this very incomplete demo, you play as someone who's forgotten everything. An old man directs you to go into the dim forest. There, you must learn to ASSAULT animals with weapons if you want to get anywhere or earn any points. Um, but why?
