Interactive Fiction Showcase 2024

Showcase your Game!

The Interactive Fiction Showcase is a year-long "jam" meant to collect and showcase Interactive Fiction games completed in 2024, and show how diverse the Interactive Fiction scene is! And maybe: build more bridges between the community, help people finding their new favourite game/author...

Whether it is long or short, an easy adventure or a complicated puzzle, a strange experiment, a quick creation, or a years-in-the-making game, come show off what you've made!

Are you more of a player? Then, come check this page regularly for new submissions! Maybe leave a rating or a comment too :)

This is an unranked event.

Rules:

The Showcase is open to IF games in all of its forms: kinetic, choice-based, hyperlinks, parser, visual novels... As long as it is Interactive Fiction (there is interactivity and the focus of the game is on the text), the entry will be accepted.

The Showcase is open to IF games in any language.

Entries must be playable and in its complete form when submitted. Completed games in 2024, whose demo was previously public, are welcome. Games submitted to other events (jams/competitions) are welcome.

Entries can include NSFW content, as long as it is indicated in the submission.

Entries should not include any generated AI content - or it will be removed.

Spam or hateful content will be removed.

Creating Interactive Fiction:

Interactive Fiction is a text-based narrative medium, where players can interact with the story in some fashion (input commands, click a link/button, press key). There are many different ways of creating IF, and many different programs to do so. You can find some mentioned below:

Primarily HyperText/Choice-Based: Twine,  Ink, ChoiceScript, Dendry

Primarily Parser/Input: Inform 6, Inform 7, PunyInform, Adventuron, ADRIFT

Other: Bitsy, Binksi, Ren'Py

and many more can be found listed in the IF Wiki.

If you are looking for other Interactive Fiction Events, discuss general IF, or ask question, you can visit the IntFiction Forum. (we also have monthly IF events over at @neointeractives)

Interactive Fiction Database and Archive:

IFDB

The IFDB, or Interactive Fiction Database, is an IF game information catalogue, creating a historical record of the IF landscape. The database is a community project, updated by its members, by adding titles to the directory, ratings games, writing reviews... If a listing has not yet been created for your game, please consider making one!

IF Archive

The IF Archive is an archive of Interactive Fiction games, and IF-related elements (walkthroughs, interpreters, articles, collections...). The Archive’s mission is to preserve the history and practice of interactive fiction and make it freely available to the public. If you wish to, you can upload a copy of your game to the IFArchive, through the IFDB listing of your game (recommended) or directly to the archive.

The IFDB and IFArchive, as well as the IntFiction Forum and Twine, are managed by the Interactive Fiction Technology Foundation. These programs are funded through individual donations.

Visual Novel Database

The VNDB, or Visual Novel Database, is a community project that strives to be a comprehensive database for information about visual novels. The database is updated by its members, by adding titles to the directory, ratings games, writing reviews... If a listing has not yet been created for your visual novel, please consider making one!

I just played this game called 'Funeralopolis : Last days' that came out like 25 days ago I think ? And omg it was so good ! I love it so so much and this will be my new personnality for the next few weeks.

Edit : Going with that, if you have any recommendations, I'd love to hear them ! Jumpscares are fine, but i'm not a big fan of being chased by an entity or just a person in general.

After a difficult breakup, and a long night of drinking, you decide to take your life back and put things back in order. Starting with a simple meal. Treat yourself!

Not Another Sad Meal is a parser cooking sim where you can make 1 out of 3 meals, and set yourself back on the right path! 

[ Sad Spice DLC now included ]

Not Another Sad Meal was made for the Recipe Jam, an Interactive Fiction game jam centred around recipes.

The parser is considered merciful (you will not reach a bad end) and uses a limited verb list (available in-game). Interactive elements are highlighted and clickable (for a special action). A mini-walkthrough for each recipe is included in-game and is downloadable.

A rough recipe of the mentioned dishes can be downloaded on the game page.

I released MY OWN Yandere novel, and guess what? It was an interesting experience.

And I’ve made great progress over the year!

I made Chapter 1 another year ago, but I was so consumed with self-hatred that I had no plans to release the game AT ALL.

But my friends told me that my work deserves attention.

Afterwards, my novel was played on Stream on Twitch. The person really liked my characters, the plot, my work with dialogues and direction. And I felt so happy, truly...

I was inspired by such projects as Your Boyfriend and Broken Colors, they really gave me a boost then to try myself in such stories!

And in general, my characters have evolved well from the moment when they were just fan characters from the game Your Boyfriend, haha

Thanks for your attention! Please, play on my Game in Itch.Io
