On Saturday, December 25, 2021, 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.
In this Biblical tale, you play as Jesus. A crowd of five thousand people have gathered in a field outside the town of Bethsaida to hear you preach, but they're all very hungry. It would take a miracle to feed this many people, but since you're the son of God, you might find a way to do that. But how, exactly?
In this adventure game which is also a tribute to the music of Mike Oldfield, you play as a young warrior on a quest. Your tribe's queen is dying. Go to peak of Mount U'huru, far to the north, and ask the Wise Man who lives there for his aid.

David Welbourn says:
In this rather odd game, you play as someone who wakes up disorientated inside a deserted aeroplane in mid-flight. Where is everyone? Is the pilot gone too? Where is the plane headed? Why are you even there? All you know for sure is that you must get off this plane.
4. Aesthetic Deletions, by Johanna Hunt (2003) Average member rating: (1 rating) David Welbourn says:

6. All Quiet on the Library Front, by Michael S. Phillips (1995) Average member rating: (14 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this game, you're a generic college student who's been slacking all semester. For your final paper on the "The History of IF Games", you need to check out a book about Graham Nelson which is somewhere in this library, but where?
7. Baggage by Katherine Farmar (2021) Average member rating: (11 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this short game about introspection, you play as someone walking along a long gravel road bordered by hedges. You don't seem to be getting anywhere. Your satchel contains a hope, a belief, a regret, a memory, a fear, and a resentment.

12. On Your Back, by Dan Doyle III (2013) Average member rating: (3 ratings) David Welbourn says:

In this short two-room game, you play as a teenager who needs to get her stupid little brother Tim and two Christmas presents across this stupid river, but this stupid rowboat can only carry one of them at a time.
14. Tea and Toast, by Matt Weiner (as Maria del Pangolin) (2014) Average member rating: (13 ratings) David Welbourn says:

15. Through the Looking Glass, by Gareth Rees (1995) Average member rating: (3 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this short one-room tutorial, you play as Alice at the beginning of Through the Looking-Glass. To quote the game: It's a cold winter day outside, but in the looking-glass house it's summer. All you need to do is pretend there's a way of getting through into it somehow...
16. Yesternight, by Robert Szacki (2021) Average member rating: (7 ratings) David Welbourn says:

In this ultra-short one-room joke game that claims to be latest in SoftSoft's "You Have to Put the Noun in the Other Noun" series, you find yourself in a party room with the Baby New Year and a champagne bottle nearby. Based on the title, can you solve this puzzle? There's also a New Years Fun Fact every turn!
