a very short introduction to IF with a built-in learning curve. Perfect first IF story.

A very cool and whimsical environment to explore that I like to mentally revisit, and a very good built-in dynamic help system. Fantastic intro to IF.

An intriguing story, fantastic writing, and even more fantastic puzzles. Also has several impressive quality of life features not found in most IF, such as automatically navigating to rooms or items previously discovered. A classic.

Another absolute classic. This Lovecraftian tale is full of looming dread and very believable and interesting puzzles is so good. There was even one moment that legit made me gasp.

This has one of the most creative ways of interacting with a game I have ever seen. It really feels like you are trying to solve a mystery, and after completing it I felt like I had finished a significant project. Also, I love games with a diagetic interface such as this.
