1. Birmingham IV
by Peter Emery
(2018)
Average member rating: (10 ratings)

David Welbourn says:

In this old-school adventure, you play as the Phil, an English natural philosopher whose dreams have taken him to a fantasy version of his cottage in the West Midlands. Recognizing you as a problem solver, the Parson asks you (via a note) to find his missing Sexton and to put the addled Sir Lawrence to rights. Well. Best get to that. Who knows what you might find along the way?

2. The Jewel of Knowledge, by Francesco Bova (1999)
Average member rating: (5 ratings)
David Welbourn says:

You're a spelunker on a dangerous expedition to find the fabled Jewel of Knowledge. The Druids of Amylya told you that whoever possesses the jewel can know any fact, can solve any problem. But Ariana has already died, and Jacob soon follows her. And now it's just you alone, deep underground, searching for the lairs of three ancient dragons, and hoping you can prevail where so many others have fallen.

3. Not Much Time, by Tyson Ibele (2002)
Average member rating: (3 ratings)
David Welbourn says:

After a frantic and incoherent phone call from your Auntie, you've rushed over to her farmhouse to find out what's wrong. And when you do find her, you'll need to bring her a few things in order to fix the problem.

4. Best Gopher Ever
by Arthur DiBianca
(2018)
Average member rating: (23 ratings)

David Welbourn says:

In this charming game, Alfred P. Owl, the mayor of Fairview, greets you and begs you to help all the anthropomorphic animals in town with all their very serious problems. Of course, you'll help them. You're the best gopher ever.

5. HOLY ROBOT EMPIRE
by Caleb Wilson (as Ralph Gide)
(2014)
Average member rating: (16 ratings)

David Welbourn says:

In this game, you are playing as Morgen Santamore, a human instructor in robot decorum at the Mathedral of the Heavenly Code High School. Today, the Robopope, Pope Fortran itself, is visiting this very building complex. You're going to find it and then kiss its papal ring.

6. Beneath: a Transformation, by Graham Lowther (2007)
Average member rating: (8 ratings)
David Welbourn says:

In this Lovecraftian game inspired by the works of Robert E. Howard, you play as a poor resident of the rundown town of Stregoicavar. You want to continue reading your borrowed library book, Worms of the Earth, but the library's now closed, the sun is going down, and you have no more working light bulbs at home.

7. The House
by Jazz Remington
(2007)
Average member rating: (1 rating)

David Welbourn says:

In this small text adventure, you play as someone who enters an abandoned house on a whim, only to be trapped inside by a restless spirit. Can you figure out what the spirit wants and banish him?

8. 1982, by Zach Samuels (as Iblis Snowsdottir) (2014)
Average member rating: (6 ratings)
David Welbourn says:

In this game, you play as a handsome car enthusiast but unfortunately, the Government's draconian Motor Laws and their ever gazing Eyes don't share your love of joyriding. But they're not so vigilant on Sundays, so you're going to risk taking your uncle's Barchetta for a drive in the country anyway. Let them try to stop you!

9. Civil Mimic
by Andrew Schultz
(2017)
Average member rating: (3 ratings)

David Welbourn says:

In this very small wordplay game based on Roman numerals, you play as a high school student named Mimi having a bizarre Halloween candy dream. You had a dumb argument a month ago with your friend, and now someone called the Civil Mimic wants to know her name. Perhaps this lid which is actually a clock in Roman numerals can help you say it?

10. Uxmulbrufyuz
by Andrew Schultz
(2017)
Average member rating: (5 ratings)

David Welbourn says:

In this small wordplay game, your nightmares have taken you to Uxmulbrufyuz where everything starts with U and U is the only vowel (not counting Y). Ugh. Do U have it within U to upset undue ugliness? Evict every extreme? Improve inferior instincts? And alter angsty attitudes?

11. Dead Pavane for a Princess, by Emily Boegheim (2013)
Average member rating: (13 ratings)
David Welbourn says:

In this tiny one-room horror story, you play as Maurice Ravel, noted composer, trapped in your own study by the zombie Claude Debussy. How will you stop him from reaching you and how will you escape?
