On Tuesday July 28, 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. Nothing But Mazes by Greg Boettcher (2019) Average member rating: (7 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this large game, you play as Gary Randall, a man who had a heart attack in 2026, was frozen in a cryogenic tube, then revived in 2189 by green aliens from Oo. Humanity bombed itself back to the Iron Age in 2068 and aliens rule the planet now. And these aliens insist that you will play their new interactive fiction game, Nothing But Mazes, which is filled with mazes and death traps. Oh, and you'll die in real life if you die in the game. Doesn't that sound like fun?
In this surreal story inspired by Alice in Wonderland, you play as Alistair Liddell, owner of the hat shop founded by your father forty years ago and where you employ your Uncle Marty and Cousin Dermot. But now it's closing time and you promised to take Catherine and your two-year old daughter Liz to the funfair. But on your way there, you and Cat have a spat and then Liz's stroller rolls away and falls into the river!
3. Founder's Mercy by Thomas Insel (2019) Average member rating: (13 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this game, you are the last person on the agricultural spacestation RWSS Founder's Mercy. Everyone else has left or died. Your parents were the last. You feel so alone. But today, you will leave this place and find people on another world.
4. The Enchanted Castle, by Gregg Roberts (2019) Average member rating: (1 rating) David Welbourn says:
In this simple game, you play as a young man. You fell asleep reading about castles and somehow wake up in one. Now find as much treasure as you can and rescue the princess!
5. Advent Door by Andrew Plotkin (2020) Average member rating: (16 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this small puzzle game, you play as an adventurer who's seen far too many doors recently. So, of course, now you find yourself in a study without any doors at all. They've been taken away. Can you find enough doors to escape this castle and continue your journey?
6. Office Goose by Liz Henry (2019) Average member rating: (4 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this silly little game almost-certainly inspired by Untitled Goose Game, you play as a horrible goose in an office! Peck at everything and cause as much havoc as you can!

In this short story, you play as someone who has finally gone for a walk after spending weeks at home. You've arrived at a shady grove with a pond and you're feeling lonely. This story features several Shakespearean quotes.
8. Class Challenge, by Daniel Gunnell (2019) Average member rating: (1 rating) David Welbourn says:
In this very small game, you play as a student at the Marsh Academy. Your English teacher wants you to write an essay about interactive fiction for your detention. You prefer to escape it.
