On Monday, March 26, 2019, I published new walkthroughs for the games 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. A Flustered Duck, by Jim Aikin (2009) Average member rating: (12 ratings) David Welbourn says:
You play as Elliott, a pig-boy. It starts when Granny Grabby orders you to get Mabel the duck down from the roof. You try, but a series of unfortunate events ensue ending with Mabel swallowing the diamond ring you planned to give to Suzette! You need to get that ring back, but how?
2. A Good Breakfast, by Stuart Adair (1997) Average member rating: (2 ratings) David Welbourn says:

3. Got Toast?, by Jim Fisher (2000) Average member rating: (5 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this fantasy game, you play as a broke guy who had a disappointing birthday. Instead of cash, all you got was an old toaster from your eccentric great great grandmother. You were hoping for money so you could make a homemade breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast, pancakes, and syrup for your girlfriend as you promised.
4. Rippled Flesh, by Ryan Stevens (1996) Average member rating: (2 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this "interactive goosing", you play as a balding middle-aged man who wakes up in a desolate room, remembering only the number forty, a seductive women [sic], a tropical drink, and darkness. Exploring, you seem to be in a veritable hotel of horrors. Perhaps there's some meaning behind it all, but really, you just want to find the exit.
In 2008, the author bought a strongbox at a yard sale. The box contained handwritten descriptions of storyworlds by Laura Bryant, a woman who somehow invented interactive fiction without ever using a computer. Fascinated, the author has transcribed five of these stories to Inform so you can explore and enjoy them as well. The stories are called "The End of the World", "Morning in the Garden", "The Tower of Hanoi", "Going Home Again", and "Undelivered Love Letter".
6. Stupid Kittens, by Marc Valhara (2000) Average member rating: (17 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this bizarre game, you play as Fuzzles, a stupid kitten. In life, you will be tormented and killed by your owner, a girl named Karen, for the amusement of the internet. In the afterlife, you will be tossed about by offended deities until you're reincarnated in Jennifer Love Hewitt's house with a mission. It won't end well. (Caution: This game contains poop jokes.)
7. Puddles on the Path, by Anssi Räisänen (2003) Average member rating: (3 ratings) David Welbourn says:

You forgot all about curiosity killing the cat.
