Interactive Fiction Games

You are the character and you determine how the story will play out in these Interactive Fiction games!

Interactive Fiction is one of the oldest forms of computer games – interactive stories and experiences in which you are an active character in the adventure and the story evolves around your choices.  Explore a network of caves stocked with treasures and hazards – did you forget your lamp?  See what happens next!

Interactive Fiction is text-based – no graphics.  Interactive Stories are available on various devices, including iPads and are fully accessible.  Have your own story plots?  Create your own Interactive Fiction stories!
