Does anyone know of an examples of stories/games made with this? Not like a full on game like 80 Days, but something like what you could end up with after following the tutorial? I want to show this to a friend and I think an example would help give them an idea of what's possible. Edit: Someone wrote a "portfolio" for their personal website which is pretty cool https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26765367 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26765367 If anyone has any narrative examples that would be ideal.

I'm happy to report that this Ink-based portfolio is accessible with a screen reader. I wonder if Inkle ever plans to switch to web technologies for their full-blown games, instead of embedding Ink in a game engine.

There are lots of examples of varying complexity on GitHub: https://github.com/search?q=extension%3Aink&type=code https://github.com/search?q=extension%3Aink&type=code (A few of those are false positives because someone made a personal scripting language called Ink, but most of them appear to be the interactive fiction from this article)

I've got one up [0] at the Spring Thing Festival of Interactive Fiction [1] that's a pretty straight-forward example of Ink.

It takes a few steps to get there but this is their own example game: https://github.com/inkle/the-intercept/blob/master/Assets/Ink/TheIntercept.ink https://github.com/inkle/the-intercept/blob/master/Assets/In... ETA: here is a Cloak Of Darkness in Ink https://github.com/micabytes/mica-ink/blob/master/sample/cloak_of_darkness.ink https://github.com/micabytes/mica-ink/blob/master/sample/clo... which can be compared to other languages http://www.firthworks.com/roger/cloak/ http://www.firthworks.com/roger/cloak/
