- “A Beginner's Guide to Interactive Fiction” by ezekieljd
This is a simple guide to help any newbie understand the basics of text adventure games, also known as interactive fiction. It is also a fun and quick play for experienced players, although it helps to think like a newbie in certain situations. Sometimes, it's best just to ask for help ;)* [“THIEF: The Text Project”](http://textadventures.co.uk/games/view/dh4tgm-u2uu5izam4uvzma/thief-the-text-project) by *charlie_kb*
An homage to one of my favourite games of all time Thief: The Dark Project. If you're unfamiliar with the franchise then you should know that it's a stealth game set in a medieval/steampunk world, in which you play (unsurprisingly) as the Master Thief Garrett. You'll rely on sneaking around rather than attacking enemies, although don't let that stop you from getting your sword out if you fancy it, just remember you're not built for fighting. I hope you enjoy the game, this is my first ever try at producing any kind of game, so I would love it if you could provide feedback for improvements. Also if anyone manages to break it, could you let me know the steps you took to get there, please? That would be incredibly useful, enjoy Cheers - Charlie_kb* [“Door Chapter 2 (unfinished)”](http://textadventures.co.uk/games/view/uop_yqc8ukqstvdrnalxgg/door-chapter-2-unfinished) by *bluestar7799*
i started this after publishing chapter 1 and lost interest in this project due to me biting off more then i could chew. i'm punishing what i got which is most of the writing. its playable but has some blank spaces that can be progressed though and a ton of grammar and spelling errors but decided to let it out instead of letting it stay a demo forever. if i ever get back to it it will be finished and updated , but for now, try to enjoy.* [“Guy”](http://textadventures.co.uk/games/view/drodu-jjokyal5-2czig-g/guy) by *JayMoon* * [“True Tales of a Snail-Town Slave: Part One”](http://textadventures.co.uk/games/view/e1jh2rv9ie2ep__io7ssdg/true-tales-of-a-snail-town-slave-part-one) by *ShatteredPikeStudio*
"True Tales of a Snail-Town Slave: Part One" is a post-apocalyptic rpg where the reader takes on the role of a survivor sold off to Snail-Town, a settlement carved into the very shell of a gigantic, mutated snail. The snail travels the Big Nothing, a vast desert in the center of the ruined world, and Snail-Towners take advantage of this pattern to trade with settlements and enclaves along the route. One of the electric carts used to trade has gone missing, and the reader is forced to journey into the desert with only an aluminum bat and three ratling companions to recover it. True tales uses game mechanics based upon "The Black Hack" role playing game by David Black. The story uses logic and markers to track everything from character reactions and consequences to "health points" and armor.
