the Demon Mark upon you and kidnaps your parents' second child, you'll
set out on an epic adventure to reunite your family.
Call upon the power of your cursed Demon Mark to battle dragons,
witches, and an undead army! Beware: each time you use it, the Mark
grows stronger. - Также выпущена новая игра по программе Hosted Games —
Treasure of the Forgotten City от Danny McAleese и David Kristoph.
Three priceless star jewels. A century-old, cryptic journal. Using only
the resources left by your grand-uncle, it’s up to you to find
Atraharsis—the legendary lost city beneath the sands. But the way won’t
be easy. Raging sandstorms, sinister traps, and a whole host of
mysteries stand between you and your Ultimate goal. - Escape from the Crazy Place это новая игра на Twine размером в 92 000 слов. Она использует структуру «пещеры времени» и находилась в разработке с 1984 года. Текущий релиз — это перезапуск версии 2006 года. Большую часть текста написали J. J. Guest, Loz Etheridge и Mark Bailey. Всего у игры шестнадцать писателей.
‘Donald!’ you scream, clutching the clown by the straps of his
dungarees. ‘What are you doing here? How in god’s name did you get into my subconscious?’
Donald shrugs and points behind you. You turn around to find that someone has installed a revolving door. Moments later the most private recesses of your unconscious mind have been invaded. ‘Halt, Peasant!’ says the Captain of the Royal Guard, ‘Only nobles may wear poulaines with toes more than two feet long, by Royal Decree! Take them off right this minute, or face death, by my sword!’ You begin to point out to the Captain that since you are now a disembodied consciousness, you no longer have any shoes, nor any feet for that matter, but are interrupted by the monkey waiter who is carrying an astronomical drinks bill on a silver plate. Apparently the drinks weren’t free after all.
You hurl yourself through the revolving door, wedging it shut behind you. The monkey waiter and the Captain of the Royal Guard are now permanently trapped in your subconscious, so thankfully you have no conscious memory of them, but for the rest of your life you are troubled by inexplicable dreams about Turkish slippers and unpaid bar tabs.

«В тени деревьев» — Iver_MaD
Этот день начался неправильно. Солнце взошло на западе резкими, отрывистыми рывками, будто Селестия поднимала его из последних сил на смертном одре. Огненный шар почти не освещал пустынные улицы, которые стали серыми. Абсолютную тишину в Понивилле нарушил резкий, пугающий вой со стороны фермы «Яблочная Аллея». Не теряя ни минуты вы направляетесь к ней, забыв про всякий здравый смысл.
