You stagger up to its lair. Blue sand drags at your feet. Your hands don't tremble — well, much — as you ready your new weapon. Your voice doesn't quaver (hardly at all) as you shout out the words you were taught. One, two! Dive and roll! Jump! Attack! ...That wasn't so hard, was it?

Venice. The tight winding alleys and long dirty canals. Easy to become lost here, where every street emerges somewhere unexpected.

It is night on this side of the planet. Settled areas are lit: a jagged crescent in the tropics, lining the inland sea. The bright splatter along the top of the curve is Tanhua, as bright from space as New York. The north continent is darker, sprinkled finely with small lights, where the failing climate makes it hard to survive a winter. And the northernmost point, almost lost on the slope of Mt. Cordia, is the original Aleheart Colony, where the first settlers from Earth landed. It is your destination as well. A piece of interactive fiction written by Emily Short.Aotearoa

You are in your car, with a gun in your pocket, going back and forth with yourself about whether you should get moving immediately, or take some time to think about your situation. Some of the wording, and the fact that the game is subtitled "an interactive heist", make it not unreasonable to infer that you are gearing up for a robbery. A piece of interactive fiction written by Ryan Veeder.Savoir-Faire

The beautiful life is always damned, they say. As for you, you've overexpended yourself: fifteen years of prominence, champagne, carriage rides in the Tuileries, having your name whispered behind manicured hands, getting elegant ladies out of elegant fixes - and you're in debt. Bound by oath and honor to a pack of scoundrels. Your father, old peasant that he was, could have warned you against their type.

The Elysium Enigma
2006
It was meant to be a routine visit on behalf of the imperial government, just to remind the settlers that the Empire hadn't forgotten them, and if you stick rigidly to the letter of your orders and refuse to use either your eyes or your initiative that's all it'll be. But with an interstellar war brewing in the background, you'd be wise not to take anything for granted. A piece of Interactive Fiction written by Eric Eve.Cryptozookeeper

Marrow is delicious but that's not why you're here. You're supposed to pick up a single jar of alien bone jelly, which of course can't exist and doesn't exist, so you've convinced yourself that transporting it is no crime. Getting worked up about such nonsense would be like fretting about mermaids getting caught in tuna nets, and you've got other fur-bearing fish to fry.
