Fleshed-out characters, meticulous world-building, rich setting, and good writing make this one of my favorite games.

The protagonist is compelling, backstory well-integrated without infodumps that break the immersion, and good writing.
3. Aotearoa by Matt Wigdahl (2010) Average member rating: (63 ratings)
Andromache says:
Enjoyable and well-paced game, never allowing for lengthy periods of "How do I move this story along?" Animals were fun and the world was great to explore.
4. Bronze by Emily Short (2006) Average member rating: (290 ratings)
Andromache says:
A refreshingly bittersweet take on classic fairy tale characters. Magic that feels natural for the game world. Matter-of-fact, even.

Richly atmospheric. Engages all five senses. That is unusual and welcome.

*gasp* A puzzle game among stories. But this one is exceptional. A game that rewards experimentation, gives guidance, and just made me feel good to progress in.
7. Sunset Over Savannah, by Ivan Cockrum (1997) Average member rating: (54 ratings) Andromache says:
Some truly beautiful imagery. Slice of life with a bit of imagination. Reminds me of "Charlotte's Web."

Three-dimensional characters and a mystery that's revealed in tantalizing morsels makes this game hard to put down.
