If you don't mind moderately difficult games (my personal preference) I strongly recommend taking a look at the blurbs for these few tremendously good games and seeing if they appeal to you:
Adam Cadre - Varicella http://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=ywwlr3tpxnktjasd http://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=ywwlr3tpxnktjasd
Jon Ingold - Make It Good http://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=jdrbw1htq4ah8q57 http://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=jdrbw1htq4ah8q57
Andrew Plotkin - Spider And Web http://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=2xyccw3pe0uovfad http://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=2xyccw3pe0uovfad
- pfedor 15y agoOTOH if you want to start with something easier, but still with puzzles, Bronze by Emily Short is a good one. If you want a very good game with almost no puzzles, then definitely Photopia.
- mquander 15y agoAnother game with moderately easy puzzles that might appeal to the HN demographic is Dan Schmidt - For A Change. The setting is an abstract, somewhat pastoral landscape full of things whose descriptions are alien but extremely evocative. The theme of the puzzles is imagining and understanding things about the world of the game. I found it rather entrancing. http://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=t61i5akczyblx2zd http://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=t61i5akczyblx2zd Anyway, there are so many really must-play IF works from the last decade that the recommendations could go on forever.
- psykotic 15y agoSpider and Web is one of my favorite examples. It plays to the medium's unique strengths in ways that will be obvious to anyone who goes through most of it. It's also a fairly short game.
