To celebrate, the site launch includes the release of two brand new IF pieces.
“Homecoming”
You are the backup AI for the colony ship Vocation (what a terrible, boring name!). You now exist and a subroutine indicates that you ought to go home.

“Wildflowers”
A personal contemplation about trying to support a friend in a difficult situation. More of a game poem than a game story. Trigger warning for abuse.
I tried Homecoming and found it quite fun. It would be interesting to do a cryptic version (e.g. variable 5 is now 467 vs the number of frozen colonists is now…) where the player can only slowly realise the consequences of tempting exploration.
There was a typo “it does your mechanical heart _ to know”, and a few blemishes (e-mail for transcript). It would have saved some head scratching if the movement options were announced.
Hi Nick, thanks for the feedback! I’d like to get those fixed – I’ll email you for the transcript.
