But isn't that just a CYOA game? Or do those also count as text adventures these days?

It just seems more of a writers' product than a game. I'm sure it's good, though, and I'm probably just old.

Choice-based text adventures has had a huge renaissance the last few years compared to parser stuff - Twine has brought a heap of new people into the area
and it's great. Parser IF's always going to be around I reckon, but it really suits some game styles more than others.
