On Saturday, March 28, 2026, 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.
1. Within the Woods by BrownPants (2026) Average member rating: (3 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this supernatural horror game, your former employer, Dale, asked you to clean up an isolated rental cabin deep within the woods. For five hundred bucks. It's evening when you arrive, and you are dismayed to see a broken door and broken window even before you get out of your car. Dale never mentioned damage like this, and you didn't even bring any tools! You yell "hello" but no one answers. Time to the place, scrounge up some tools, and fix up the cabin as best you can. But what happened here?
2. Wolfsmoon by Marco Innocenti (2019) Average member rating: (4 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this horror game, you are tired. In the last few months, fifteen corpses have been found, and more people have disappeared. There are rumors of a wild animal or a killer on the loose. But Elmville is a town unlike any other. We sleep under the Wolfsmoon.
In this game, it's Millennium's Eve. You play as Finley, arriving home at 6.15 a.m., chilled and bone tired after a night shift at the factory just as your partner, Johanna, is leaving for her day job at the supermarket. You sleep and wake at 10.05 p.m., barely in time to meet her there, but she's dead. There was a robbery. She was shot. The police advise you to go home. You feel numb. But as you cross the street, a light is coming at you. It's too quick. You hear buzzing, then everything goes black. Then you wake up on the street. It's 6.15 a.m. Again.
In this surreal artpiece, you play as a slightly better version of yourself, visiting a landscape made from your dreams, memories, and aspirations. Explore and interact as you will. You have no goals and are given no direction, yet there are three optional things you can do if you're the sort of player who needs puzzles to solve.
5. Chez Dark Shade Ark by Andrew Schultz (2025) Average member rating: (2 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this surreal wordplay game based on homophonic phrases, you play as someone who cut through a park to avoid trick-or-treaters, only to be pushed through a portal. You black out and wake inside a wee clink.
In this surreal wordplay game based on homophonic phrases, you disrupt an open mic poetry reading with "Duh! Scary!" and the poet warns you that your day will come. And it does. On the last day of October, you fall asleep and wake up where you see a globe (old) giving off a dim light and nothing else. Can you make it brighter and find a way out?
In this very short one-room defense game, you play as a zombie. You received a tip-off that the living will soon invade your home. Defend yourself. Set up a trap, a Heath Robinson machine for them to fall into. Very soon you will face death... or dinner.
8. Rana's Reception by Elias Ramsberg (as Interpied) (2025) Average member rating: (5 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this small game, you play as someone who inexplicably finds themselves in the Latitude Inn after being cruel to animals. For your rehabilitation, you must help Rana, the frog who heads the Inn, get some sleep. She hasn't had a good night's rest in 150 years.
