On Wednesday, June 28, 2023, 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. Midsummer's Eve by Tristin Grizel Dean (2023) Average member rating: (4 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
It's Midsummer's Eve and in this magical game, you're one of several 13-year-old children competing in the Midsummer's Eve Treasure Hunt. You're looking for clues, you may not enter any buildings, and whoever wins gets to make any request (within reason) of the mayor! And you're going to win!
In this treasure hunt game, you play as Ian McKenzie, a rebellious 13-year-old student at Winchester High, Dunedin, New Zealand. The school was once the Winchester mansion, donated by Frederick H Winchester III to the city in 1932. Rumors say there's a hidden fortune somewhere in the mansion. You plan to find it and give it to the principal so the school doesn't close from lack of funding.
3. Red Door Yellow Door by Charm Cochran (2023) Average member rating: (12 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this horror game, four girls have gathered together in a circle. Claire will try to picture a door while her older sister Emily chants "red door, yellow door". Claire, dreaming, sees a glen with two doors, and tells the others about it. Explore the dreamworld as you will, but beware of the man in a suit.
[for Book III: Askin:] In this fantasy adventure, you play as someone looking for their uncle Seamore. Seamore is an oddball scientific genius who invented a transdimensional teleportation device, and now he's trapped in a parallel universe. Rescue him and discover your destiny!
[for Book II: Niksa:] In this buggy fantasy demo, you play as Noric Gooddeed, a Viking. Your constant companion is E. Pinke Kim, an annoying lip-reading minstrel who sings about your every action. Crackling energy splits the air, and you see a strange man step out (then back into) the glowing doorway. Kim sings, "Odin has summoned you! Now enter the door!"
In this short game, you are a student of the arcane who's been having nightmares. As you dreamwalk, you see the land of Amaranth, the tyrant prince who rules it, and the growing corruption that surrounds him like a malignant aura. You finally understand. The Red Prince must die.
6. Down, by Kent Tessman (1997) Average member rating: (5 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this short game, you play as a survivor of an airplane crash. You regain consciousness on a gentle slope with a broken leg, your watch beside you. Help yourself and the other survivors as best you can.
In this small fantasy game, you play as an adventurer who has finally found the sacred shovel of Athenia. There's a cat here too, ugh. But before you can take the shovel for your king, a "catometer" wraps itself to your wrist. Only a true cat lover can take the shovel, and you're not one of those just yet.
In this short escape game, you play as an eagle cursed into a man's shape, pursued by a black beast created from your own siphoned despair. Run! Run and find safety somewhere soon before the beast catches you and indifferently tears you apart. Multiple endings.
9. Undo, by Neil deMause (1995) Average member rating: (16 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this tiny surreal game, you play as an adventurer at the end of a long quest. To reach your final goal, you just need to get past this large hole, a frog, and a small duck.
