Winners of the 2021 Interactive Fiction Competition

• jhbadger 5y ago
  It's good to see that traditional parser-based interactive fiction (Infocom-style) are holding their own for the top winners. For a while it looked like those were going extinct and that "choice-based" (think the "Choose Your Own Adventure" books that GenX and older Millennials may remember from their youth) systems like Twine were going to take over the entire field.

  That’s fun to see on here. I started to play parser based if about 2-3 weeks ago and wrote a little infocon-style parser engine as a hobby project last week. The genre is unbelievably stimulating, I had no idea. I strongly recommend the old classics Galatea and Anchorhead if you have never played these before, they are some of the best games I played in the last 2 years
