Baf's Guide

Head games galore in this one. You're working in a Virtual Reality lab, helping to debug the next generation of sim technology, until a suave stranger forces you to confront the creeping air of inconsistency that's been in the corner of your consciousness. A dark one, with surprises up to the end, one of the coolest villains I've seen in a long time, and some quite impressive feats of Inform programming. The structure is unusual, with a nightmarishly looping midgame that resembles its frame in form but not in content. The puzzles are all clever, although a bit obscure towards the end. Has a built-in hint menu.
