On Friday January 29, 2021, 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. Shades of Gray by Mark Baker, and Steve Bauman, and Belisana, and Mike Laskey, and Judith Pintar, and Cindy Yans, and Hercules (1992) Average member rating: (7 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
This large game, co-written by seven authors, begins with you waking up amnesiac and running away from vampires. What's happening? Are you in a city or in a medieval story? Can the gypsy kabbalist really restore your memories? This game heavily features the American Civil War, the legend of Robin Hood, and the politics and spirit loa of Haiti.
In this old school text adventure, you play as a graduate student in Archaeology. One of your professors offers you an opportunity to earn valuable experience, prestige, and an early degree: bring back a rare blue-quartz diamond hidden deep in the jungle by a hostile tribe. You eagerly accept the dangerous challenge!
3. Last Day, by Earth Traveler (2020) Average member rating: (5 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this small game, you play as a homeowner in Nelsonville, WA on humanity's last day. A comet will strike the earth today, killing everyone at 12:43 PM. How will you spend your last three hours of life?
Content warning: Suicide.
4. The Richard Mines by Evan Wright (2017) Average member rating: (8 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this somewhat dull and minimalist game, you play as someone who was hiking through a forest. North of the forest, you find a dirt road leading to an abandoned underground facility. Explore the facility. Perhaps the experience will make you richer.
In this small one-room game, you play as a domestic raccoon named Lizzie. You want to bake some cookies for your friends before they arrive, but first you need to find the recipe card.
6. Sheep Crossing by Andrew Geng (2020) Average member rating: (16 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this short game based on a classic puzzle, you must transport a cabbage, a sheep, and a bear across a river using a small boat that can only hold you and one passenger. You are taking them all to Grandmother's house.
In this very short story adapted from a "creepypasta", you might be anyone visiting a dingy bar in Paris. If you can prove you're a devotee of the artist Henri Beauchamp, you may able to see a very exclusive gallery show of his lost works.
