I'm doing so because it's quite a unique game that evoked an emotional response in a short time. I found myself going back to some of the chapters and trying to change things. I'm going to leave the spoilers out of this, but the game is free and it takes about 30-45 minutes to complete. It's a nostalgia trip for anyone who grew up using AIM.… Expand

    Five conversations with a high school friend that your character apparently likes but you can't really fess up to.

    Pretty short (bit over    Five conversations with a high school friend that your character apparently likes but you can't really fess up to.

    Pretty short (bit over half an hour), and it is a decent piece of interactive fiction. It made me feel kind of bad for the protagonist, but it was pretty obvious from early on with the dialogue choices what was going on - the character was obviously jealous and a bit possessive, and actually playing as them was mildly disturbing in some ways. Still, it does what it does well enough, so if a bunch of awkward IM conversations by two people who aren't you is your thing, you might like this.    … Expand
