Games & Interactive Fiction
A place for fun and games, and for stories of various forms. Currently a little bare-bones, but I have hope of improvement.
All games posted here belong to EGGRAMEN and the person behind it, unless otherwise stated -- please do not rehost my stuff without my explicit permission. Inspiration is great and all, but direct copying without permission or credit is just plagiarism.
(I also now have an itch.io page!)
Twine
An open-source Javascript-based engine. My games generally use the Harlowe version. The official Twine website can be found here.
Caves
Published July 2019. A short work about a character exploring a cave. This is not a game with happy endings.
(Warnings for body horror and general creepiness. Also, amateur writing and frankly incompetent text formatting. Proceed at your own risk.)
Inform 7
Inform 7 is an open-source engine for text parser IF games, which produces story files in several possible formats. Games published for this section can be played through an online interpreter such as Parchment, but will generally also be released as source code and a Z-machine or Gblorb file for offline play.
My Inform 7 games are current available on Playfic. Since Playfic is now read-only, I have begun mirroring them here directly. I also have .z8 binaries mirrored offsite, and have begin adding locally hosted copies with Parchment's very cool Site Generator tool, which bundles Parchment and the game into a single dedicated webpage.
I have also made a custom language file for syntax highlighting of Inform 7 code in text editors that use gtksourceview.
Combat Demo
Play In Browser (Parchment)
Compiled Game (.z8): Catbox.moe | File Garden
Source Code (text)
A simple combat system for Inform 7. Both the game and source code are released here under CC-BY-4.0.
The compiled game file is a slightly older version (2.0.2) backed up from Playfic, though there should be no noticable difference in functionality.

A Nap on the Beach (a Short Game)

Compiled Game (.z8): File Garden
Source Code (text)
A very short little experience. I think this was my first ever real Inform 7 project, way back when I first was learning how to use it.

Games and stories made using other engines or no particular engine.
The Tunnel and the Tomb
A simple Choose Your Own Adventure game about an Indiana-Jones-esque treasure-seeker and a single deadly room, featuring two endings and a variety of game overs. Written as a demo for a CYOA template using fairly basic CSS and HTML -- no JavaScript needed. Published April 2022 under CC-BY-4.0.
