24/9/25 I'm standing next to the lockers, my hands and eyes in the shared mail basket checking for daily envelopes. First some driving infractions, each to be paid by the employee responsible. Then a square envelope from Vodafone, hard and soft shelled, I know it contains a CD. I'll give it to G. Even though this is a task any intern could do, my manager G wants to do it themselves every time.

Once every month, G takes the external compact disk reader, plugs it into the laptop and patiently updates the server traffic data from the past month. I can see how much G loves this task, even if it's an outdated procedure. This task gives them peace and confidence, forcing them to slow down, waiting for the reader to get the information, hearing the buzzing and scratching sound of the disk spinning, tasting the dust-burning smell of the small engine in the reader. It's a ritual; a sacred meditation about the importance of patience and constancy in work over rush and shortcuts. Everything needs time; Rome wasn't built in a day, and you took nine months to be born.

Below those ones, there is also an unexpected envelope, kraft paper outside and plastic bubbles inside. No name on it, so there is only one way to know who it is meant for: open it.

It contains a booklet and a floppy disk. I go down to the second floor, where the IT help-desk is. In storage room 2, behind several modern monitors, and over some cardboard boxes full of old landline phones, they also have a vintage computer - probably from the 80s - the kind with a green-screen monitor built in. It takes time, unscrewing and removing a fistful of dust from each component, then screwing it back together.

The system starts to buzz and beep, and the green-screen lightens up to a brighter green. Anyway, this old machine doesn't do much more, the light flickers on the screen but nothing happens. Of course it doesn't work, this is a restoration way above any of my competences. While I was glooming looking at the screen, the floppy in my hand, G said, handling an external floppy reader: "isn't it easier with that one?".

Yes, it's much easier. So, this is for you; I'm sharing the game I found on the floppy disk, and a scan of the handwritten pages in the envelope.

A serial killer is on the loose.

Gregory Yob's classic labyrinth gets an eco-surrealist makeover. No random generation. No instant-death pits.

The theory holds up, and the lab data is promising. But if you want to be the first PhD in Forensic Necromancy, you need a story the world can’t ignore.

And more importantly—will they be enough to impress a thesis committee?

An Interactive Adventure based on handwritten notes.

You wake up in a dense forest with nothing but ragged clothes and an absurdly out-of-place, fully automatic AK-47.

Just off the path lies the Copper Tavern, a cozy drinking hole facing imminent destruction under the king's harsh eviction order. To help the tavernkeeper and secure ownership of the inn, you’ll need to explore the surrounding woods, outsmart local scoundrels, sneak into private quarters, and gamble your way to a small fortune.

Whether you rely on stealth, lockpicks, or high-caliber modern firepower, will you find a way to clear the debt before time runs out?

Ḫattušumna Laḫḫa (“Hittite Adventure”) is the provisional name given to a series of recently-discovered tablets in New Hittite script. The text describes an unidentified hero’s attempt to infiltrate an enemy city and recover a stolen god; while the historical context is unknown, the focus on rival kings kidnapping each others’ gods suggests a pre-Empire origin.

Or, in other words: this is an educational game (actually a series of three short games) presented entirely in the ancient Hittite language. It’s meant for absolute beginners—no knowledge of Hittite is needed! Sneak into enemy territory, craft a disguise, uncover a murderous conspiracy, and hopefully return home triumphant with your god in tow.

Content warning: Brief (and non-English) depictions of death and arson, with a typically Bronze Age disregard for human life. While the protagonist is never required to murder someone directly, their actions do result in death and destruction.(Hidden)

It’s a golden opportunity: the wealthiest men and women in New Gothenburg, all gathered in a single place.

The number seven is forever embroidered into the fabric of your life. It also happens to be your favourite number. It's your number. Slightly disagreeable and not particularly well rounded. Odd and asymmetric, just like your face. Not to mention that it ate nine. But that's just hearsay. Anyway, there's something about it, no doubt.

Once, someone told you that it's the number of the liar and this has stuck with you ever since. There's no proof of this claim, at least not as far as you could find online. But it would be in line with the number's character, that it should hide behind a mask of agreeableness and keep its true thoughts well away from the world at large.

Content warning: The game contains strong language and emotionally intense visions involving blood and implied bodily harm.(Hidden)

This game was designed and mapped by my precocious 8-year old granddaughter. She designed all puzzles and tricks and put the orc in place. I helped only to do the Inform coding (I copied one puzzle from the docs.) She beta tested it and made refinements. It is a short dungeon crawl game; clean and clever.

My first night in Japan, struggling to sleep for the jet lag, I started writing this micro interactive fiction. I was impressed by the smallness of the room, and I started wondering how big it could be if I were a fly.

To play this interactive fiction you type commands after the prompt ">" and press "enter" to confirm. You can move to the four cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west), up and down, or in and out, typing one of them. You can also examine things described in text, typing examine and the thing you want to examine (e.g. "examine window"). The status bar on top shows your position to the left, to the right it shows the directions you can go from there. That’s all you need to play this game.

Thirst for blood has two different possible endings.

I keep asking myself why I even came here, and then reminding myself, and then questioning myself again.

Is there really any chance I could make a difference?

Five years ago, Scarlett Sky traveled to the nation of Dolcett, the only country on Earth where cannibalism—specifically, eating women—is not only legal but a routine, everyday part of the culture. Scarlett hoped to change her life by earning a $1 million reward for just "One Week in Dolcett"—but it was the journey itself that truly changed Scarlett, as she learned about her own resilience, leadership, and desire to be part of something greater than herself.

Now, a strange set of circumstances puts a wiser, stronger, and more determined Scarlett in a position where she must once again travel to Dolcett. This time, it will not only be her life at stake, but also the life of an innocent woman she is determined to rescue. Throughout her adventure, Scarlett is challenged time and again by the inhabitants of this strange world, who have one objective in mind—to have her served on a plate for their dinner.

"One (More) Week in Dolcett - Scarlett Sky" is a second-person, choice-based adventure that challenges the reader with each and every decision. There are very few choices that allow the reader to gather information—nearly every selection is a matter of life and death. With over 90 fully fleshed-out conclusions, "One (More) Week in Dolcett" provides elaborate detail in every ending - both on the methodology of Scarlett's demise, as well as the motivations and realities of those who choose to consume her. One (More) Week in Dolcett unique in this regard when it comes to gaming: it leads with a compelling narrative that is enthralling in itself, but its story can be enriched with every “bad” conclusion.

Reader discretion for this tale is EXTREMELY advised. No readers under the age of 18, or readers in any country where erotic material is impermissible, should view this work of fiction. This story includes graphic scenes of cannibalism, violence, sex, dubious consent, identity loss, murder, and death.

Can YOU guide Scarlett through her most perilous mission yet, completing not only her quest to save another life, but to help Scarlett save herself?

TOITŪ: the story of a hidden stream is an expansive, long-form detective poem set in the early 2000s in Dunedin, a small colonial city in the South Island of Aotearoa / NZ. The game blends real-life histories with a fictional encounter with a hidden stream, mixing the colonial history of Dunedin with a modern investigation into loneliness, artistry, language, and power.

The game involves an exploratory, wandering mode of gameplay which allows for the reader to navigate an unseen space by returning and re-returning to certain maps within the game world.

Your job is to traverse a hidden stream buried beneath the city, uncovering along the way a dastardly plot, a potential murder, and the collected works of a forgotten NZ writer. As the player develops a connection to the stream and the township thru meandering (and a fun machine called the Bullet), a secret alternate narrative is built alongside the waterway, which may help the player to organise their thoughts and plan their next moves.

Can you learn the name of the stream, the truth about the city, and the haunting story of the forgotten poet?

It's the last weekend of November 1995, and Jasmira is short on the rent. But she knows how to bring in $200 within a night.
