Hadean Lands

Hadean Lands

Pocket Storm

Pocket Storm

It starts with a calm summer night. Soon you’ll hear thunder in the distance, then wind and a spatter of rain. After half an hour you’ll be in the thick of the storm. By the end of the hour it will have faded into the night again. Then the cycle begins again.

Generative background audio for the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and the new Apple TV.

 
Heliopause

Originally released in 2010; now available for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.

Shade

Old-style interactive fiction — a classic text adventure. Shade is a snack-sized experiment in surrealism and psychological fear. It begins as a classic “room escape” scenario; but that’s not how it ends.

Originally released in 2000; now available for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.

 
The Dreamhold

The Dreamhold

More Interactive Fiction

Text adventures were the first great computer-game craze. I’m still writing them, and helping to advance the state of the art.

You can play most of my text games for free on the web, or download them to play on nearly any computer or mobile device.
