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.
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 will mostly likely be made available through an online interpreter such as Parchment, as well as 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 plan to start mirroring them here (or at least their source code.) Compiled games are hosted offsite for now since I'm on a free tier plan and can't upload binaries, but that may change in the future.
I have also made a custom language file for syntax highlighting of Inform 7 code in text editors that use gtksourceview.
Combat Demo
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.
Cardinal
Compiled Game (.z8): File Garden
Source Code (text)
A puzzle adventure game about escaping a weird maze. The final puzzle does have some known bugs relating to disambiguation, so watch out.
blue
Compiled Game (.z8): File Garden
Source Code (text)
A weird stylized little game wandering around in a river canyon.
EAT EVERYTHING!
Compiled Game (.z8): File Garden
Source Code (text)
A goofy short game where your goal is to EAT EVERYTHING!
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.
Other
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.
