6. Delightful Wallpaper by Andrew Plotkin ('Edgar O. Weyrd') (2006) Average member rating: (77 ratings)
Leland Paul says:
A puzzle-based game (unlike the other Plotkin on this list), but less challenging than some of his work and wonderfully Gorey.
7. Bronze by Emily Short (2006) Average member rating: (290 ratings)
Leland Paul says:
A Beauty & the Beast retelling, with lots of bells. Big world with lots to explore. A tad challenging.
8. Blue Lacuna by Aaron A. Reed (2008) Average member rating: (109 ratings)
Leland Paul says:
Enormous, sprawling. Not my favorite work, but it does contain what I think are a few of the most effective moments in IF so far. Possibly a little tricky to do as read-aloud.
9. Losing Your Grip by Stephen Granade (1998) Average member rating: (20 ratings)
Leland Paul says:
Hard! Middle-period IF, a psychological thriller. The game that got me into IF in the first place.
10. So Far, by Andrew Plotkin (1996) Average member rating: (71 ratings) Leland Paul says:
Hard! Middle-period IF, crazy-quilt adventure. Still one of my favorite works.
