During the evening of Thursday August 27, 2020, 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.com/dswxyz.
1. Crocodracula: The Beginning by Ryan Veeder and Harrison Gerard (2020) Average member rating: (12 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this charming light-horror game set in Opasassa, Florida, you play as Rebecca ("Becca") Drapkin, a normal teenager who discovers scales are growing on her shoulders and shins. Your best friend, Zoe, suggests talking to Miss Muriel about it. You were afraid she'd say that.
2. Napier's Cache by Vivienne Dunstan (2020) Average member rating: (13 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
Scotland, 1594. John Napier is a famed scholar, alchemist, and occultist recently hired by Robert Logan of Restalrig to find a treasure hidden in Fast Castle. In this story, you play as Napier's assistant. Success will bring rich rewards. Failure is too terrifying to contemplate.
3. I Must Play, by Geoff Fortytwo (2004) Average member rating: (4 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this homage to classic arcade games, you play as a kid in a video arcade, but after hours since the older boys wouldn't let you use the machines during the day. Another young boy, Eric, is here too. Can you win at every game in the building and take over Eric's top spot on the highscore board?

In this tiny easy game, you have started a new micro enterprise called Kentish Plover to promote playing of interactive fiction. It's been successful so far, but you want to spread the word further afield.
This is a tiny two-room game intended to demonstrate the very basics of interaction fiction. You begin in room 1 carrying a blue key. You see someone using a computer and there's a blue door to the north.
