Interactive Fiction - An Introduction

Interactive fiction is a very specific medium of storytelling which combines the best features of a book with the most engaging elements of a choice-based game. It allows the reader (player?) to create their own character and make choices that influence the way the story progresses and how their character interacts with their environment.

This, arguably, makes interactive fiction one of the most immersive ways of engaging with a story!

Its unique blend of a novel and a game makes for a genre of fiction which is;

1. Incredibly immersive and dynamic

2. Very accessible and convenient

3. Characterised by a very active and close-knit community of readers

There are so many stories of all sorts and genres, so it is almost guaranteed that you will find something that fits your preferences. Some of the most popular, and (in my opinion) some of the best, titles include:

- The Wayhaven Chronicles, by Mishka Jenkins

- Fallen Hero, by Malin Rydén

- Samurai of Hyuga, by Devon Connell

- Can I add my own work in progress? I don't know, but I will. The Pioneer Project is on its way ;)

I would encourage everyone who hasn't experienced interactive fiction yet to pick up a story that sounds interesting and try it out. I think the genre is criminally underrated, and we haven't even scratched the surface of what is possible with this medium of storytelling!

7 février

Nous sommes mardi et je viens de me rappeler que cette semaine je n’aurai aucun cours de kinésithérapie. C’est à la fois un choix de ma part après le fiasco de la dernière séance, mais c’est surtout dû à une indisponibilité de lui et moi. J’ai hâte d’en finir avec ces cours pour tout vous dire car ce type je ne l’aurai même pas regardé dans la vrai vie! Pas qu’il n’est pas attirant, il l’est sûrement pour certaines personnes, mais pas pour moi. C’est trop le genre de type bon vivant, sociable, bref les garçons cool de l’école là! Vraiment pas MON genre! C’est pour ça que toute cette ambiguïté me dépasse aaaaarrrggg! C’est possible aussi que ce ne soit qu’une attirance sexuelle. Peut être que je viens d’expérimenter pour la première fois de ma vie une attirance sexuelle sans qu’il n’y ai sentiment/attirance intellectuelle. Possible mais je ne serais pas ce genre de personne, j’apporte trop d’importance au personne dans la vie de tous les jours pour lâcher ce principe dans mon intimité! Je refuse!

Bref! C’est la seule vrai info. Il ne se passe rien dans ma vie dsl en même temps je vous avais prévenu ! Voilà pourquoi ce deuxième poste a pris si longtemps à être fait. Mais qu’est ce que je vais raconter? Franchement a part mon problème d’attirance ou pas pour mon kinésithérapeute il ne se passe rien absolument rien!

En ce moment je lis le troisième roman de Sally rooney: beautiful world where are you. J’ai adoré conversations with friends que j’ai fini d’un trait car il m’emmenait où il voulait m’emmener, j’étais une vrai éponge pendant tout le livre. Par contre ce dernier livre je le trouve bancale il peut parfois être très intéressant puis l’instant d’après beaucoup moins! Je ne suis même pas encore au quart du livre donc mon avis n’est pas pertinent. Mais ce que j’adore sur cette auteure ce sont ses personnages, ils sont tellement réalistes, l’introverti/mélancolique en moi s’y retrouve toujours.

Son personnage de connell par exemple dans normal people, c’est moi! Les sentiments forts nous paralysent et du coup nous finissons par décevoir ceux qui nous entourent. On subit notre manque de confiance en nous tout en enviant les personnes sure d’eux. En tant qu’introverti nous vivons beaucoup dans notre tête, réfléchissons beaucoup trop avant de faire n’importe quoi, et devons nous faire violence parfois pour paraître « normaux ».

Bref en commençant ce texte je ne pensais pas me retrouver à expliquer ce qu’est être introverti. Une définition toute personnelle mais justement personnelle. Bref si vous rencontrez des introverti ne les rejeter pas, ne les pensez pas froids aux autres, hautains, au contraire ce sont en général des hypersensibles, une hypersensibilité tellement incontrôlable que la seule solution que l’on a c’est de justement tout faire pour la cacher et ce qui ce passe c’est qu’on fini par cacher tout le reste, cacher notre vrai personnalité!

[jitzeniqusupyo]

Drew my ronin from the interactive fiction called Samurai of Hyuga by Devon Connell. Named her as Jirao and her spirit animal is none other than Akita Inu. Fits her perfectly.  I felt that my life force went to this one because of their clothes... Lol. First it was supposed to be just Jirao, but then I drew my dear boys Masashi and Toshio with the Akita Inu in the background. Haha. And I didn’t bother to draw anything else after that as you can see. XD

Anyway, I love the series and hardly can wait for the book 5. 

[whitewoodbosca]

samurai of hyuga book 5 will be the death of me like i play 4 chapters in demo and now i'm reduced to a crumpling mess of *screaming* as a toshmancer and momomancer of what to come

spoiler for book 5 and pretty much everything else below

[fiddles-ifs]

Hello! Aspiring author here.

First off, I want to say Greenwarden is a masterpiece that I have been following since its release in 2019. It broke my heart when you announced about switching to Twine, which I don't find the interface appealing (I only read on my phone, and Twine doesn't automatically adjust the text for a more mobile-friendly experience.) But because I love your story so much, I'm determined to read it once it comes out in itch.io 😤 that's how much I love this book.

I'm planning on making my own book under CoG/HG as well, however there are certain themes in my story that might not be published due to creative differences with its administration.

My question is: What were CoG/HG's content standards that restricted you from publishing under their name? And what policies that you reconsidered under their contract?

If this is too uncomfortable and personal to answer, please don't feel obligated in answering. I'm just a fan having second thoughts on releasing my own if.

Thanks and you have a great day!

It’s no problem!!! I’m also planning on making Greenwarden friendly for mobile — I just have to brush up on my JavaScript.

Long post below!

As for CoG’s content standards, what made me most uncomfortable was their lack of transparency regarding what their content standards actually are. First and foremost they allow games like Samurai of Hyuga on their platform (I assume because Devon Connell is tight with Jason Hill). I’m of the opinion that particular cesspit is best put on fetish sites for the consumption of 4chan neckbeards, for reasons I’ve already explained. It’s not even the kind of edgy that explores deep concepts like “the freedom of self in the face of predetermination” or “how minority voices are silenced by oppositional forces.” It’s just weeb wank written by a white guy.

Secondly, their forum moderation is hot garbage, the stink I’ve which I’ve been quaffed with first-hand. Half the time the CoG forums are rampant with straight up homophobes and transphobes, and as a queer trans person I do not ever want to be associated with, nor do I feel safe around, that. I get that they can’t control everyone, but when multiple people have asked you to clean up the TERFs on their website and you don’t — and on several occasions ban the people asking instead — then I’m pulling my shit out of there faster than if you gave a cow a laxative. Not to mention the fact that they have permabanned users for *looks at my ipad* rightfully complaining about their forum policies on their Tumblr pages, a third party website not affiliated with CoG???? But ok the users who openly call people slurs on other websites can stay. Sure.

Lastly, CoG pays Hosted authors very, very little in comparison to their contracted authors. As in, contracted authors are paid around 10k for even producing a proof of concept, while Hosted authors have to be content with the majority share of their profits going to CoG. Which, to me, feels like the biggest and most insidious pyramid scheme I’ve ever heard of. I think I’d rather have a tea party with the ghost of Ronald Reagan, now that I think about it.

Anyways. Sorry about the rant!! Now that I’m not beholden to Jason Hill’s all-seeing eye I might have gone a little ham.

Top 20: my favorite interactive stories

Hello, guys!

Once I saw that one of my popular and mostly likeable posts was about IF, I decided to share with you my personal top of the best IF authors I have known. 

I read a lot of WIPs (work in progress) and finished novels since three long years, so I might recommend truly incredible stories. I apologies for adding pics and some additional info about my MC, but I wanted to bring spark of life into this top.

MC – Julia (deShanre), she|her.

I'll start with telling about quartet of works greatly affected on me. It was almost like… living my second life. It felt so real, so vibrant. In the darkest times it gave me the strenght to meet the next day.

1. Samurai of Hyuga, Books 1-4 by Devon Connell (WIP, planned 7 books). Patreon. Buy Book 1.  Buy Book 2. Buy Book 3. Buy Book 4.

Samurai of Hyuga is a brutal, heart-pounding interactive tale. Prepare to enter the land of silk and steel, where fantasy clashes against grim reality, and where the good guys don't always win in the end. It's a harsh world with tough choices at every turn. Good thing you're the toughest ronin around.

My MC: Ronin, the master of the Jigoku Ittō-ryū, The Sword Who Cuts the Heavens

Jigoku:

________________________________________________________________

2. Fallen Hero by Malin Ryden (WIP, planned 4 books). Tumblr: @fallenhero-rebirth​. Patreon. Buy Book 1.

Become the greatest telepathic villain Los Diablos has ever known! Once you were famous; soon you will be infamous. That is, unless your old friends in the Rangers stop you first. Juggle different identities and preserve your secrets as you build new alliances and try to forget the friendships you've left behind.

My MC: Sidestep Puppetmaster:

Jane (puppet):

________________________________________________________________

3. I, the Forgotten one by Bacondoneright (WIP, planned dilogy). No tumblr or Patreon|Ko-fi. Demo.

It has been five long years since the end of The Border Wars. Five long years without a purpose. Endlessly drifting around from one job to the next, serving your apathetic father only to receive no credit. Nobody in Kanton truly knows what you did. How you won The War, leading the armies of Kanton as a youth.

Nobody knows what it took out of you. Spending your formative years in war is not good for one’s outlook on life. Your emotions now lie behind a mask of stoicism. After all, all emotions do is cloud one’s judgement and wind up costing lives.

Nobody knows how much it hurt to be cast down from the throne and succession. To be disinherited, cast away from the family, and left aside to die.

My MC: The Marshal, the bastard child:

________________________________________________________________

4. The Exile by Pheo (WIP). Tumblr: @exilethegame​. Patreon. Demo.

You’re the ex-commander of the Kingdom of Plaithus, and your name is known by all. It used to be whispered in fear by your enemies, and the very mention of it could send men fleeing. Your people had cried it out in battle, swords raised in your honor as they faced death fearlessly. You were a hero, and to some, a legend.

Until you weren’t.

You can’t remember what happened. All that’s left are blurry faces, screams, and the feeling of blood on your hands. The only reason you still have your head is because of the pity of an old friend.

And now? It’s only been a year since the incident, and already things are going wrong again when a rather peculiar sorcerer offers you absurd amounts of gold in exchange for protection from… well, that’s the problem, isn’t it? You don’t know.

My MC: the Commander:

Ex-commander.

________________________________________________________________

Shepherds of Haven by Lena Nguyen (WIP). Tumblr: @shepherds-of-haven​ Patreon. Demo.

Shepherds of Haven is a dark fantasy interactive fiction game. In it, you play as a Mage living in a world where magic is outlawed and your people—those possessing supernatural powers—are oppressed and reviled. The world is ruled by humans who believe in science, technology, and industry: at best, you and your kind are nothing more than a fairytale, and at worst you are the state’s greatest threat.

My MC: Human Mage, gunner

________________________________________________________________

God of the Red Mountain (WIP). Tumblr: @friendlybowlofsoup​​​ Demo.

You are a spirit born of the Red Mountain–though you’ve run away from it long ago. You’d be content to stay away, too, if not for the mountain god who suddenly comes looking for you. But what purpose do they have? And what exactly is your end goal?

Based on East Asian myths and folklore, you play as a powerful, nameless spirit in a shifting world. As a being caught between death and life, you are connected to a stream of limitless power, and the more you are known, the more powerful you become.

However, your journey will not be so smooth. You have been cursed by powerful, malignant beings known as Foxes, and it’s only a matter of time before you fall from sanity yourself.

My MC: Owl spirit, human appearance

________________________________________________________________

The Bastard of Camelot by Rebelgirl (WIP). Tumblr: @llamagirl28​ Demo. Ko-fi.

Your child will be the undoing of Camelot. Born under an ominous prophecy, you are the incestuous bastard of King Arthur and Morgana Le Fay. Will you fulfill the prophecy, or rebel?

Be the villain they expect you to be, or the hero they don’t- be remorseful or unapologetic, make your destiny or be Morgana’s tool of revenge.

Arthur can’t have any more children, making you the sole blood heir, and sole other Pendragon. As a Pendragon, you have the power of dragons.

The Bastard of Camelot is a trilogy following Mordred as they become a knight of the Round Table, and save or destroy Camelot.

_______________________________________________________________

The Seven Heirs of Ophaesia: Part One by (WIP). Tumblr: @fantasyfawkes​​​ Demo. Patreon.

The Seven Heirs of Ophaesia is a low-fantasy game set in a Renaissance-esque world where you play as one of seven heirs to a fictional kingdom rife with intrigue. As the King’s seventh child, you are a prince or princess of Ophaesia, a luxurious nation along the southern coast of Selanes. You are the first child of your father’s third wife, a woman hated throughout the realm due to the pervasive suspicion that she poisoned the previous queen, and her poor reputation taints your image in the eyes of the court and beyond. From your days in the palace nursery all the way to adulthood, you must navigate treacherous court politics and delicate foreign affairs while trying to find your place in the world — and your family.

_______________________________________________________________

 Attollo by A.E. Jendryke (WIP). Tumblr: @attollogame Demo. Patreon.

After several years of radio silence, you receive a message from your younger sibling that carries a strange sense of urgency to it. Either out of familial concern, or boredom, you embark on a journey from your residence to your siblings apartment in New Hampshire to see what’s wrong and then get on with your life. Too bad it’s never so simple.

Deal with cults, interdimensional entities, and far too many people with superpowers (where, for once, you’re the odd one out) in your journey to bring your sibling back from an underworld far out of your control.

My MC: lawyer

As the Emperor and Empress' only trueborn child, you are at the centre of this power struggle. When all hell breaks lose on your 21st nameday, what will you do to find your place in this world?

All this, and more... In the Land of the Dragon.

_______________________________________________________________

The Northern Passage by Kit H.J. (WIP). Tumblr: @northern-passage​ Demo. 

The Northern Passage is a horror fantasy CYOA, where you play as a hunter sent up north to investigate a series of missing people along the border and in the port cities of the Blackwater.

Will you find out what happened before it comes for you?

Travelling from warded settlement to warded settlement with your surly Keeper, Shea, you have the thankless task of defending the common folk against these horrors from Hel.

Usually, a fate such as yours is only reserved for the lowest of criminals, as penance for their loathsome deeds… You wouldn’t know if your fate has been deserved, however, since upon completion of your Binding seven years ago, all former memories of your human life have been lost.

You’ve been moulded into a weapon by the Virtuous Order, trained to be an unfeeling and ruthlessly efficient hunter… But is that who you are? Who are you, truly?

Crown of Arsur

_______________________________________________________________

 Wayfarer (WIP). Tumblr: @idrellegames​ Demo. Patreon.

When your mercenary work backs you into a corner, you take the only option available and accept a contract: to travel to the city of Velantis and steal an ancient artifact said to be blessed by the gods. Simple, right?

But Velantis holds more than you bargained for. Gathering a ragtag party of malcontents and renegades from across the city, you must navigate enemy factions, meddling guilds, and escalating political tensions. Your choices will ultimately determine the city’s fate – and the fate of every person who lives there. 

_______________________________________________________________

When Twilight Strikes by evertidings (WIP). Tumblr: @evertidings​ Demo. 

You are a bounty hunter. Responsible for taking in rogue supernaturals, you work for IAOS—the International Agency of Supernaturals—where, alongside your best friend and partner, you two have quickly become the best hunting duo of the branch. After a particular tricky hunt, you brief your boss, Caine Atheron, and come back to work the next day to find that he has mysteriously disappeared overnight, the company is now in the hands of his best friend, Sebastian Mai. And though no one else seems to question it, something tells you that there’s more to the story.

With bounty cases rising at an alarming rate and a second mystery unfolding, you and your ragtag team of allies set out to find the truth.

But as you go further and further, the secrets you uncover begin to make you question: who… or what exactly are you fighting for? 

_______________________________________________________________

Passanger by Pime (WIP). Tumblr: @the-passenger-if Demo. Ko-fi.

Do you like monsters? Do you think they are the best part of their respective movies, books, and shows? Then The Passenger might be the game for you.

The Passenger is a choice script work in progress in which you are an eldritch abomination that’s about to be devoured by another unthinkable creature. Good news is you are pretty crafty and know how to jump dimensions to escape your ghastly fate; bad news is, you’re now stuck on Earth, trapped inside a dumb human larva.

As years go by, you realize the amount of energy you need to leave this horrible dimension behind is a lot more than you anticipated. Not to mention the creature that almost ate you all those years ago never really stopped looking for you. But there’s no way it’ll pinpoint your actual location… right?

_______________________________________________________________

Scout: An Apocalypse Story by Anya (WIP). Tumblr: @anya-dev​ Itch.

You are primarily an academic, and you put your skills to use on regular scouting missions. With your best friend and your scouting team leader in tow, your small group is a pillar of the Community.

On your first scouting mission of the hot season, you meet the leader of the People Across the Orange Plains. Will you break from the Community you have known your whole life? Ask a romantic partner to join you? Discover secrets that your own people have been hiding? Become a leader yourself?

Your life isn’t going how you’d hoped. Despite having big plans when you graduated, you’re stuck in a dead end job and a crappy flat with zero romantic life to speak of. All until a friend convinces you to join the cast of a new reality TV show.

The premise is simple: 12 singles are sent to a villa on a tropical island and they live there together for a month. After 28 days, the couple who is voted by the other islanders as being most likely to withstand the test of time will win £500,000. In addition, the couple with the highest body count will win £500,000. Total prize pool? £1,000,000.

In this context, “body count” refers to how many people you’ve slept with… right? Well, that’s what you think when you sign your contract. Turns out, though, that not all of your fellow cast members will be using that definition to get to the prize.

Fall in love, win big money, solve some murders and try to stay.

You play as an OPERATIVE of Scytha Industries, a highly selective private security company. As their most elite Operative, you possess many skills and talents, not to mention top-of-the-line equipment - including your very own AI module, IVI.

This, of course, puts a price on your head. An AI module goes for billions on the black market; carrying one around in your skull is, perhaps, not the safest idea. Sure, you’re more than a match for anyone who might come after you - but no-one outside the high levels of Scytha knows about it, so you should be safe anyway, right?

Wrong.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

I do want to thank all these tremendously talented authors for creating such complex and beautiful worlds. I love it with all my soul.

Thanks for reading, I hope you will find story for yourself. I’ll gradually extand this top! 

Stay tuned.
