On Monday December 30, 2019, 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.com/dswxyz.
1. Inside the Facility by Arthur DiBianca (2016) Average member rating: (63 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this game, you play as someone eager to explore THE FACILITY, a place filled with research labs and maybe even some secret stuff. Your friend Mike bet you $20 that you couldn't even visit half of the Facility because of all the security. You took that bet, of course.
The game begins with you in a jail cell and the walls are closing in! If you escape this death trap, you will find that you are still trapped in a wax museum called Dr. Death's House of Horrors. Yes, you are dreaming all this, but the only way to escape this nightmare is to find ten keys and learn how to use them.
3. Old Jim's Convenience Store, by Anssi Räisänen (2019) Average member rating: (17 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this short puzzler, you play as someone who unexpectedly inherited a convenience store in rural Kansas from your late Uncle Jim. Although delighted at this chance to move forward in life, you discover that the building is quite isolated on a flat sandy plain and hasn't been used for years. Of course, you still want to look the place over. Who knows what you might find?

In this game, you again play as a homeowner on Christmas Eve. Although you have no money, you need to find the seven items on your shopping list and bring them home to have a Merry Christmas. Featuring Santa, Jon Pigeon, Gabriel, and the Three Wise Mice.
6. Porter Cave Adventure, by Cam Miller (2019) Average member rating: (7 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this short game, you play as someone taking a walking tour of the Porter Cave. As you progress, you will discover quotes about game theory concepts. Presumably, the quotes are meant to educate the player, but unfortunately, the concepts are not explored deeply beyond these dry presentations and the gameplay is not particularly engaging.
7. Dream Pieces 2 by Iam Curio (2018) Average member rating: (5 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this wordplay game, your dreams have taken you to a dream version of your family home where everything is made from Lego but none of the rooms have any exits. You'll need to break the things you find and mix the parts with other parts to make your own exits. Escape all nine rooms to win.
8. Dead of Winter, by Gunther Schmidl (as 'Christina Pagniacci') (2001) Average member rating: (15 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this short story that's part romance and part tragedy, you play as a young woman. A week ago, the Ice Queen stole your boyfriend from your bed, leaving a snowflake in his place. Now, you stand outside her cave, wondering what you must do to get her to give him back.
9. Post-Christmas Letdown, by Emery Joyce (2011) Average member rating: (4 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this small silly game, it's December 26th and you play as a homeowner with a headache who needs to get ready for work at the call center. Unfortunately, you have some unwanted visitors, like the Mouse King who's blocking your closet.
10. Santa's Sleigh Ride by Molly Geene (2008) Average member rating: (4 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this very small and easy game, you play as Santa Claus. You have just one last house to deliver presents to, the Madisons', and then you and your trusty Reindeer Brigade can fly home for a well-deserved rest.
11. Birth of Mind, by Justin de Vesine (2011) Average member rating: (4 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this very short story inspired by both Norse legends and Jack and the Beanstalk, you play as a little god named Jack. You want to find an ice giant who can tell you how to start Ragnarok.
