1. According to Cain by Jim Nelson (2022) Average member rating: (48 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this Bible-inspired game, you play as a novitiate Indagator of the Academy. The Provost orders you to discover the answer to this ancient mystery: What is the Mark of Cain? You are sent back in time to East of Eden to investigate.
2. Hollywood Hijinx by Dave Anderson, Liz Cyr-Jones (1986) Average member rating: (32 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
Your Aunt Hildegarde has just died. To inherit everything, you must find ten "treasures" hidden in and around Hildebud, the Hollywood estate she shared with your Uncle Buddy, the famous producer of several questionable schlock movies. But you only have one night to do it, or one of their other nieces and nephews will get their chances. Good luck!
In this game inspired by Doctor Who, you play as the Seventh Doctor. Old foes have captured your previous six incarnations. Rescue the Doctors by giving each a time-ring; they will return to when and where they belong.
4. The Time Machine by Brian Howarth (1981) Average member rating: (3 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this Scott-Adams-style game, you play as a newspaper reporter who wants to interview Dr. Potter in his home in the foggy moors. But instead of finding the doctor, you find his time machine and a request to rescue him.
5. Advent Mirror by Andrew Plotkin (2022) Average member rating: (7 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this sequel to Advent Door, you are once again a Traveler in the City of Doors. Where has the portal taken you? Featuring a very interesting and tall mirror.
6. IF Aquarium, by Michael Kichline and Michael Eckhart (2010) Average member rating: (2 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this short and flawed art piece, you play as anyone visiting an aquarium. You begin in a glass tunnel, with sharks swimming on the other side of the glass. The exits are east and west, and there's a closed trap door above you.
7. Trial of the Inuop by Jordan Jones (2017) Average member rating: (1 rating)
David Welbourn says:
In this short one-room game, you are a homeowner abducted by aliens called the Inuop. They invite you to escape their space vessel before a timer runs out or they'll invade Earth. Examining and taking inventory do not use up turns. The timer shows 11 turns left. Good luck!

David Welbourn says:
In this mystery game, you play as Bubble Gumshoe. You and Officer Donut are in an alley. At your feet is the lifeless body of Gum E. Bear, lying in a puddle of his own liquid centre. Investigate this crime and ACCUSE the culprit.
