Interactive Fiction
Interactive Fiction (or IF for short) is both a computer game and a book, or rather something in between. You usually take on the role of the main character in a story. The game tells you what happens to the character, and you tell the game how the character should act. This is not always simple, but can make for a very rewarding experience.
- For more information you can read A Beginner's Guide to Playing IF.

- For the mutimedia folks: a quick informative history on youtube.
Here are some Interactive Fiction works I did Myself:
Interactive Resume
This is an interactive resume. Well – it is my unique and quirky way to show the world who I am. It is a text adventure like the old mainframe kind (but newer). You may go directly to the information with the links provided or play the game for a more fun and – interactive way to find out why in the world I would make such a thing.
Underworld
During a guided meditation I did on the eve of Samhain I envisioned the following story. Travel to the underworld and meet a few mythical people and animals like Hecate, Persephone, and Cerberus. Can you give up enough negativity to make it back out?
