1. The Meteor, the Stone and a Long Glass of Sherbet

David Welbourn says:

In this fantasy Zork-style game, you're an Ambassador touring the Northland Empire with the vapid and never-bored Lady Amilia. But you've been stuck in this cushioned basket on top of an elephant with her, surrounded by her honour guard for a fortnight. How to get away and see something interesting or important?

In this historical drama and treasure hunt set in 2062, you have rented a robot called a MULE that you can control remotely to salvage artifacts from an abandoned irradiated plantation near Macon, Georgia. Before the Second American Civil War, the site was the home of notable historian Thomas Percy and his wife, Lisa, a pioneer in the field of mental imaging.

In this short disturbing story, you play as a teen named Amanda. You lead a small group of youths who have vowed to suicide, and Michael has gone first, damn it. It was supposed to be you. You were so focused on the result, you never considered how you'd do it.
