On Tuesday, March 29, 2022, 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.
This large horror game begins with you as the Professor facing the Count and his vampire thralls in a final showdown. But wait. Actually, you're an actor in a low-budget horror film, and the studio head and a crowd of cultists are about to sacrifice you in order to summon Astaroth and all the minions of hell! You've got to save yourself and stop him, but how?
In this comedic espionage game, you play as Agent Arthur Yahtzee of the Special Secret Service. Your mission is to stop the most evil and sadistic human in the multiverse, Doctor Diablo, from ever using Hell's Cheesecake to return to his home dimension.

David Welbourn says:
In this fantasy game, you play as a peasant youth with a wolf's paw for a left hand. The wizard Marnian cursed everyone in your province with animal limbs, but Lord Midel believes you can break the curse by fetching the Pendant of Elinor from the mysterious isle of the Goergs and returning the pendant to him.
4. Excelsior, by Arthur DiBianca (2014) Average member rating: (11 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this generic puzzlefest that uses a minimalist command set, you play as someone who finds and explores a very tall tower in a forest. There's no story here. Just solve the puzzles and reach the roof to win.
In this western adventure, you play as "Boots" Taylor, the singing cowboy known as the Texas Mockingbird. Last night, the Black Blade and his men robbed the dance hall, took your gun, and took Rosa. You pursued them, but now they've ambushed you in this arroyo!
6. Capture Santa!, by James Higgins (2007) Average member rating: (2 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this strange little game, it's the night before Christmas Eve, and you hate that Santa keeps breaking into your home every year to leave a present. You're gonna set some traps and capture that fat man once and for all. But first, you need to get out of helping your friend Matt decorate the clubhouse for a Christmas party.

In this small game, you play as a Djinn with a problem named James Merl III. James found your bottle and he wants you to MAKE HIM RICH. But your only powers are to APPRAISE, CURSE, and SWAP. Can you find all six ways to either grant his wish or entrap someone else in your bottle instead?
8. Edge of the Cliff, by Poster (2011) Average member rating: (16 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this very short one-room trollish story, you play as a young woman whose heart is broken because of HIM. You are at the edge of the cliff with a bottle of whiskey in your hand. Your diary, sandals, and bandana lie beside you.
9. Enlightenment by Taro Ogawa (1998) Average member rating: (40 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this one-room game, you play as a Zorkian adventurer at the end of his quest. One last monster, a regenerating cave troll, is blocking your way across the chasm bridge that leads to the exit. Retreat is impossible. Killing the troll is impossible too, unless you can get a g*** to kill it for you. But g***s only appear when it's pitch black and you have so many sources of light...
10. LiveJoseph, by Joseph Miller (2011) Average member rating: (1 rating) David Welbourn says:
In this short interactive non-fiction, you're visiting the game's author in his apartment. Make yourself at home and ask Joseph questions about his job, his family, and a few other topics.
