more interactive fiction links --

whom the telling changed. tricks you into making all sorts of subtle decisions without realizing it, decisions that don't change the story but change the way it's told, the ending you come to and what that ending means to you -- which is, after all, all the story is. release notes here.

metamorphoses. full of puzzles -- i don't like puzzles -- but there are so many solutions you can't help feel clever finding one, can't help being excited for more. the setting is the best thing -- neo-classical and modern-mechanical, all chilling, crystalline, strange. and it quotes plato! nice making-of article here.

shade. one review compared it to playing an episode of the twilight zone. i agree. just play it, check your to-do list if you're not sure what to do next.

XD i know, right! and the same author has another game called delightful wallpaper (http://parchment.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/parchment.html?story=http://parchment.toolness.com/if-archive/games/zcode/Wallpaper.zblorb.js), which i'm digging, even if i had to use a walkthrough for the first part and i still have no idea who i am or what i'm doing or why i'm carrying around an intention. the 'about' says house of leaves and edward gorey were among his influences so i suspect it's only going to get weirder.
