Part of this year’s New Year’s speed-if event I’ve released a hypertext story called Ex Nihilo. You may find it interesting. Play online IFDB page It’s (naturally) Vorple-powered but with a custom engine. It might have been possible to massage Undum into giving the same results, but not without quite a lot of work.

Felix Plesoianu has ported Starborn to his hypertext system Ramus, which resembles Undum quite a bit but has a lower barrier of entry for the author (with the cost of fewer features). The story can be read here.

The content is essentially the same. Instead of typing the keywords you click on hyperlinks that are highlighted in the text and shown [...]

An article about designing the puzzles of the 2008 game Escapade!, including the puzzle design map used in the process and discussion about how to create and use a similar map to design interactive fiction games.

It started its life as an idea to a speed-if, so forgive the rather silly premise. Puzzler enthusiasts will hopefully get some enjoyment out of the game as it has a good bunch of more or less traditional IF puzzles (no mazes!) As usual the Inform 7 source code is available.
