It's better for the feeling of immersion when you're not reading a walkthrough while playing. These games are definitely solvable without hints. Some very friendly puzzlewise, some a tad harder.
Very railroaded. Just follow along with the exciting adventure-story.

Gripping story, paced through the medium of IF. Puzzleless.
3. Earth and Sky by Paul O'Brian (2001) Average member rating: (83 ratings)
Rovarsson says:
Experimenting time! Don your superhero-suit and check out what your powers can do. No real puzzles, but a cool bossfight. (Sequels 2 & 3 are in the same vein, but somewhat harder.)
Follow the Faeries to their palace. Fun easy puzzles in a lighthearted story.
9. Fragile Shells by Stephen Granade (2010) Average member rating: (52 ratings)
Rovarsson says:
Escape the Space Station by combining what's left of it after the explosion. Great common sense puzzles.
10. The Orion Agenda, by Ryan Weisenberger (2004) Average member rating: (16 ratings) Rovarsson says:
Requires a bit of thinking it through at the end.

Very nice retelling of a Russian Folk-tale. Easy to medium puzzles.
12. Metamorphoses by Emily Short (2000) Average member rating: (133 ratings)
Rovarsson says:
Have fun tinkering with the magic machines. Harder puzzles, but many solutions. Keep trying and you'll reach an ending. For other endings, replay!
13. Babel by Ian Finley (1997) Average member rating: (153 ratings)
Rovarsson says:
This one is harder. Stick by the basic IF-rules (Explore!, Examine!, Read!) and you'll make it through.
14. The Weight of a Soul by Chin Kee Yong (2021) Average member rating: (31 ratings)
Rovarsson says:
A medical murder mystery. An epidemic is on the verge of decimating the city. Up to you to investigate. A long and engaging IF-story in an alchemypunk setting.
