The only parser game that I've played that compares to reading a bestselling sci-fi book.

My favorite Infocom game, a giant magic-fueled puzzle game.

For my sense of humor, this is the funniest game I have played.

I couldn't put this down when I first played it. Engrossing, giant alchemy game.

Excellent Choicescript game discussing the nature of art in the context of video games.

8. Cannery Vale

A haunting web-based game with multiple realities, intricate writing systems, and excellent atmosphere. I strongly, strongly, strongly recommend you play in non-explicit mode.

MathBrush says:

An incredible, huge horror game tribute to Anchorhead. One of the greatest IF games ever created, both in size and quality. Replaced my previous favorite Theatre.

10. Vampire: The Masquerade — Night Road
by Kyle Marquis
(2020)
Average member rating: (13 ratings)

MathBrush says:

My favorite commercial Choicescript game. Be a vampire, drive crazy and play a satisfying campaign in a VtM world.

11. Adventure
by William Crowther and Donald Woods
(1976)
Average member rating: (95 ratings)

MathBrush says:

The first, and still one of the best. It is surprisingly modern, especially in the ending, and especially compared to other 70's games.
