David Welbourn says:
In this amusing game inspired by the works of P.J. Wodehouse, you play as the Hon. Ampersand Fodge. Although you're of the upper classes, you're also quite strapped for cash, alas. So when dear old — and rich — Aunt Cedilla comes to call, you'd best be on your extra-top form.
2. Night of the Walking Dead, by John Olsen (1992) Average member rating: (1 rating) David Welbourn says:
You are in an old rundown cemetery at the edge of a Louisiana bayou, looking for the grave of your Aunt Bedilia. Can you bring back her locket? Or will you be thwarted by the secrets of the dead?
(This description was from the game's readme file.)
3. The Awakening, by Dennis Matheson (1998) Average member rating: (29 ratings) David Welbourn says:
You play as someone who wakes up in a muddy hole in a church graveyard during a thunderstorm. You won't look at yourself; you're afraid what you might see. The church is decrepit yet guarded by a guard dog. You feel unable to leave the area. Why?
In this one-room escape game, you're a guy who lives on the top floor room of a boarding house. You need your private time to play IF! Unfortunately, your housemates decided to prank you by barricading your door somehow so you can't get out. The house WiFi just disconnected and you don't have a phone or a bathroom in here. Time to solve this puzzle, get your door open, and escape.
5. Mental Entertainment, by Thomas Hvizdos (2019) Average member rating: (12 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this story, you play as Kerry Anderson, a licensed virtual reality dependency assessor. Addiction to VR can have serious consequences if not treated. Predictive models have flagged three people for you to assess, one of whom is a personal friend. Your job is to interview them in their current VR settings, then assess them.
6. Fantastic Finale IV, by Derek Sutcliffe (2009) Average member rating: (3 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this short one-room game, you play as someone playing an RPG late at night. It's now the final boss battle against the Grue Lord. You're determined to finish this game no matter what, but can you win quickly enough and then get enough sleep so you can also pass your history exam in the morning?
