I've been lurking on this site for a while now, and I think it's time I made an account.

Cool, hi! Welcome to the site :D

I hope you're here to stay, read, and write. I highly recommend reading this article as it's quite helpful. If you're not a pain and have thick skin, the people here are pretty nice. :)

I did read that article. Thank you, it was very helpful. 

So how was As Dusk Falls? I was thinking about getting that one.

It was okay. I didn't like it as much as the other games I listed, but it wasn't bad. Also, it's stop motion picture, except the pictures don't move until a character is done speaking, which I didn't like, but you might not mind it. 

Sorry, I meant drawings. Not pictures.

Hi, welcome to the site :)

Thanks! Happy to be here.

Welcome! Happy reading :)

Thanks :)

Welcome to the site. I hope you enjoy your time here. You should read this story. I think you will like it.

Thanks for the easy point

I am honored that my classic story is your very first rating.

Is it wrong that the first thing I started wondering was how the opposing racial stereotypes were going to play out? But I see you said you were a slow writer, so we don't yet have the hero we need to crank out 100,000 words a month and stop fucking Mystic from overachieving her way into every contest win. :(

Anyway, if you like horror IF and don't mind a bit of a learning curve, you should look up Anchorhead on Steam. It's like a remastered version of a classic indie Lovecraftian parser IF from 1999. (the fully text kind where you move around the maps with compass directions and type commands and solve puzzles, like Zork)

The original is still floating around somewhere for free, but the puzzles there are brutally, sometimes unfairly hard (as was the fashion at the time) and the new version smoothed those out and added some extra writing and art.

Did someone say, "like Zork?"

Ooh thanks for the recommendation! I love horror IF, so I will definitely be checking this out. 

Oh and of course, as far as horror on this site goes, Secret of Daphne is a classic.

I'm looking for something to read right now, so this is perfect.
