1. Beat the Devil, by Robert M. Camisa (1999) Average member rating: (15 ratings) David Welbourn says:
You are some guy who, after a night of drinking and proclaiming that you'd sell your soul for a chance with the lovely Gwyneth, wakes up in a literal "Mall of Hell". It seems Lucifer overheard you and although he doesn't want your soul, he will give you your chance with the lovely Gwyneth if you can defeat all seven deadly sins all of whom can be found somewhere in the mall.
2. History Repeating, by Mark Choba and Renee Choba (2005) Average member rating: (7 ratings) David Welbourn says:
You play an adult who, in the middle of a boring day at the office, suddenly wakes up as their teenage self in their grade 12 math classroom! Your science teacher, Mr. Hopkins, brought you back in time with his time machine to prove a point. Can you change your own past and avoid a future of drudgery and loneliness—or will history repeat itself?
3. Mortlake Manor by Ben Chenoweth (2012) Average member rating: (6 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this rather dull, sparsely-implemented game, you play as someone who wants to find a treasure hidden somewhere in haunted Mortlake Manor.
4. Coffee Quest II, by Dog Solitude (2002) Average member rating: (8 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this very silly game, you play as a bored office worker who just wants a decent coffee. Go find it.
5. Three-Card Trick by Chandler Groover (2016) Average member rating: (68 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
You play as Morgan the Magnificent (Morrighan is too hard to pronounce), the prestidigitator who amazed everyone last season with your two-card trick. But this season, a rival is claiming to do a three-card trick and stealing your audience! You will expose the fraud and do a three-card trick yourself or bust.
6. Tethered by Linus Åkesson (2018) Average member rating: (30 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this story, you'll play as two characters: Charles Wong and Judith Robinson who begin the game climbing a mountain. As Charles, you are forced to cut Judith's rope when it pins your arm. Fortunately, Judith doesn't fall far, but that doesn't mean she's safe. As Judith, you will try to survive in the Swallet cave system while Charles goes to get help. Years later in his apartment, Charles will relive what he imagines Judith experienced.
7. White Houses by Jason Lautzenheiser (as Mr. Stamp) (2014) Average member rating: (5 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this horror story inspired by Zork I, you play as someone named Vanessa. Your friend Jenny asked to meet you at this white house out here in the middle of nowhere, deep in the forest. She said she had something important to tell you, so you came, but you hope you don't regret it.
8. The Valley House, by Bob Reeves (2011) Average member rating: (1 rating) David Welbourn says:
In this puzzleless and genderless story, you play as Mel, a retired person puttering around their house on the one-year anniversary of Sam's, their spouse's, death. For each portion of the day, you'll have a handful of turns to do whatever you want before time moves inexorably forward.
9. Light into Darkness, by Christina Nordlander (2016) Average member rating: (9 ratings) David Welbourn says:
You play as a wife and mother awoken at night by... something. Investigating, you somehow end up outside your home and looking in a window where you see a vision of yourself doing something horrible. Is this your future? Why would you do such a thing?
