Hadean Lands got an update today with a new interpreter. It's got autosave, a built-in map, and a simple UI for the journal/memory system. Also it's launching on Steam June 20, and the price is going up to $12 at the same time, so you've got a few weeks left to get in at $5.

If you kickstarted, you'll get a Steam key and zarf is ok with passing that on to others "if you don't have a Steam account."

I can never praise Witcher 3's story enough because for all the monster killing, it's really just a story of an old man having to come to terms with the fact that his daughter is an independent woman who should make her own decisions.

Not just that, though -- it's that you genuinely don't know the consequences of your decisions ahead of time most of the time. Just like real life!

Crossposting here from the Adventure Games thread:

Bob Bates of Infocom/Legend Entertainment has a kickstarter for his new Interactive Fiction game, Thaumistry: In Charm's Way

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1575848200/thaumistry-in-charms-way-a-new-comedy-text-adventu

I alpha-tested it and thought it was pretty good but needed some more text; I assume this has been rectified since.

I didn't notice it before, but 25,000 for a text adventure is indeed a bit much. Especially that it's not even being made in a custom made engine, it's just TADS.

Not entirely true, Nikos Chantziaras has modified the interpreter (the alpha version supported automatic transcript upload, for example).

After reading this thread, I've decided to get back into IF. It's been a long time since I've played a good text adventure but I played most of the Infocom and Legend Entertainment games back in the day.

I'm specifically looking for games that are available on iOS. I liked 9:05 but wrestling that parser was annoying. I'm really liking Choice of Robots and I'm trying to figure out how to get all the different achievements.

What are some other good iOS ones?
