Text-based Interactive Fiction games recommendations from Itch.io

This is a list of text-based IF’s (Interactive Fiction) that I and another user from itch.ioxSai or Bladed-Barbwire on Discord, made on itch.io, and I thought I’d share this here with you guys in case anyone is interested. All the credit goes to xSai for coming up with the idea. Also, note that, neither I nor xSai own the rights to any of these IF's; we are just recommending them to people as we believe they deserve more recognition and people might actually end up enjoying them. The list was made on itch.io and so, unfortunately, will have to be accessed from there for anyone wanting to access them from here. The list also had to be split into separate parts as we ran out of characters to use. All the IF’s are completely text-based, a few using some visuals and/or images, but none of them are full Visual Novels. Almost all of the IF's are made in Twine, with a few being made in ChoiceScript, Ren'py, or some other engine. Most of the IF's are free-to-play, some are pay-to-play, and some are free until they're completed and/or a price is decided. Some of the IF's have extra DLC's or bonus side content on their itch.io page or on the author's patreon, which are either free-to-play or pay-to-play. Most of the IF's can be played in a browser (works best in the itch.io app, Chrome, Firefox and some other browsers. Not guaranteed to work in every browser) with some also having a download option, but there are some IF's that only have a download option and no browser one. Most of the IF's can be played on PC and mobile, but some are not compatible for mobile. A lot of the IF's are also unfinished WIP's (Work In Progress); some of them are already completed, close to completion, just started, or may have been discontinued. Some of the links of the IF's also don't work, stop working for a while before working again, or ask for a password to access; perhaps due to being discontinued, shut down for maintenance, or for some other reason. We will continue to keep updating the list as we find more IF’s. We also have a discord server, a subreddit, a tumblr blog, and a cohost page dedicated just for this. If you, or anyone else have any IF’s you want to recommend, feel free to share them on here, the three itch.io topics, the discord server, the subreddit, the tumblr blog, or the cohost page (They have to be text-based IF’s from itch.io and need to have at least some kind of interactivity. IF’s from other sites, Visual Novels, or some other type of game will not be accepted). Or if you just want to talk, or ask me for some suggestions on which IF's to try, then feel free to do that as well. Anyway, thank you for your time, and I hope you have a good day, folks. Cheers!

"Dominion of Darkness" - simulator of the Dark Lord/Lady

"Dominion of Darkness” is a strategy/RPG text game in which the player takes on the role of a Sauron-style Lord of Darkness with the goal of conquering the world. He will carry out his plans by making various decisions. He will build his army and send it into battles, weave intrigues and deceptions, create secret spy networks and sectarian cults, recruit agents and commanders, corrupt representatives of Free Peoples and sow discord among them, collect magical artifacts and perform sinister plots.  Note – one game takes about 1 hour, but the premise is that the game can be approached several times, each time making different decisions, getting different results and discovering something new. Feedback is very much welcome. Very, very much.

Pathfinder in Sun Prairie, WI

We had a table top RPG group that met in Sun Prairie for 12 years. Sadly, it didn't survive Covid. I'm looking to restart the group. We would meet weekly at my play in Sun Prairie on Friday nights, though we'll take off 1 Friday a month. We're looking for 2 or 3 more players.

I want this to be a casual group, and to offer a lot of character creation options so players can create imaginative characters. We're starting things up again with Pathfinder 2nd edition, though we may add more game systems in time. For those interested in being a GM, we do rotate GM's as well.

If your interested in joining a relaxed group, feel free to post or DM me.

Curious

Is this subreddit still active? I scrounged on Reddit to find a discord but no luck on a working invite, is the server still open too? I'm interested in playing some OW, Sea Of Thieves or ARK if anyone's active.

New gaming/streamers discord!

Hey everyone, i'm Gh0sty_TTV, a small Twitch streamer from Wisconsin. I know it's hard when you first start out, and sometimes even after streaming awhile you wonder why do I even do this? No one comes to watch! But this is 2022 now, a brand new year! We all can do this, I know we can! I have created a discord server and I am trying to get people to join who want to support and help one another in this journey. By working together and supporting one another we can take the bull by the horns this year! This is now a link drop or follow 4 follow discord, I want this to be genuine people who love to game, love to stream, and genuinely want to help one another succeed! I would like to know if anyone would care to join me in my server. If so, let me know please, I would love to send you an invite!
