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.

An interactive text generation toy.
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.
