Text

This is interactive poetry: you can type particular words that occur in the text, or words that are implied. You can be entirely experiential and use word-association. Keep in mind that what you type is much a part of the poem as the verse.

Adventure

text-based

Marrow is delicious but that's not why you're here. You're supposed to pick up a single jar of alien bone jelly, which of course can't exist and doesn't exist, so you've convinced yourself that transporting it is no crime. Getting worked up about such nonsense would be like fretting about mermaids getting caught in tuna nets, and you've got other fur-bearing fish to fry.

A piece of interactive fiction written by Robb Sherwin.

Science fiction

Distress

Lieutenant Huchess came to, an hour or so ago. That was around the time Runoma, blazing orange-hot so near this, its second planet, fell below the distant, jagged crag line. Ensign Covegn died not long after -- Sandra Marie Covegn, both legs crushed under the weight of the pod's torn hatch. Night came quickly, bringing with it cool and howling winds that whistle through desert rocks and carry other, more dangerous sounds.

Fallacy of Dawn

In a world that never quite got over the '80s, Delarion Yar dispenses quarters for the local arcade... badly. A software pirate from better days, he's crossed the wrong people one too many times. Locked into the city of New Haz with a criminal record, he's reached his lowest point and he'll do anything to get out.

A splatterpunk mystery in an alternate future.

Mystery

Necrotic Drift

Jarret Duffy knows everything about Dungeons & Dragons– a sad fact which has secured his position as assistant manager of Benji’s Gaming and Role-Playing Emporium.

When not earning minimum wage, Jarret obsessively rents The Fellowship of the Ring to point out trivia to his roommates and maintains and on again/off again relationship with Audrey. However, when Jarret disrupts a summoning session by the Wiccan girls at the Bead Shop and the undead start visiting the Funtime Teen Mall, he’s just the man to have around.

A survival horror text adventure by Robb Sherwin.
