Anyone else into IF? What are your favorites, what have you been playing lately, and just generally what do you value in the form?

While my favorite is Jeremy Freese's Violet, the most interesting piece of IF I've played recently is a classic I feel silly for not having played earlier, Emily Short's Galatea, which is brilliant and honestly humbled me when I tried to write about it. I love this shit so much, and I'd love to hear what others here are into :o

Interactive fiction...

Hmmm...

Oh. VNs. Yea, a few. I mean, if that avatar didn't give that one away for Type-Moon investment. Still waiting on Mahou Tsukai no Yoru to be finished up for translation but the last one I would've invested time on would've been the Grisaia series. Stopped around Phantom Trigger Volume 2. Mostly due to time investment constraints as of late.

IF as a term usually excludes VNs and keeps it to mostly text-based stuff, but that's more of a difference of history and audience...since plenty of hypertext art including graphics like Twine stuff is near-universally considered IF.

Both are lovely, though. Maybe it's time for a reread of Katawa Shoujo...

if this includes things like, say, hotel dusk, 9-9-9, famicom detective club, the ace attorney series, i would include myself in that list

i haven't seen too many twine 'games' proper, most of them are only very lightly 'interactive', mostly as a way to control pace and theming

Reminds me I need to sit back down with the Switch release of Famicom Detective Club. It got a good amount of QoL updates for sure but my problem is CS4 is taking up the majority of my 'game reading' time.

Actually, so it Arknights, ironically enough.

I couldn't figure out which one to do first because it ended up asking what your name was in either shortly in.

So I just went the route of intended, given I hadn't played the original in any form of English yet.

I was just going to play 2 first and then 1, given that 2 is a prequel.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
