In 2011 I set off to travel Asia and make small, experimental interactive sketches about the things that impacted me along the way. [...] Today I am releasing the Gametrekking Omnibus, a downloadable collection of all of my Gametrekking creations to date. It is my tenth release of the Gametrekking project, and it will also be my final “official” release. – [Author's Description]

The second point is that interactively revising text involves multiple simultaneous choices which influence one another. Instead of asking the reader “then what did the character do?” or “what happened next?”—as choose your own adventure stories do—First Draft of the Revolution asks the reader to consider a number of simultaneous decisions, try them out, take some of them back, and finally settle on an acceptable version before moving on. – [Author's description]

Thrustburst is a video-game about iterative failure leading to definite success.

You’ll be extremely awful at Thrustburst at first and the game will mock you for it. But if you persevere the game will recognise your growing skill.

This is my favourite free indie game of all time, a simulation-based action puzzle game with a decidedly pre-2001 theme. Attempt to burn down a series of public buildings while you are still inside them, using cans of gas and a relentlessly pursuing fuse. It’s as though Pac-man ate too many power pills and went postal.

You can choose to carefully place the cans so that they will explode when the fuse hits them, or pour them out on the floor so that they burn more of the building. There is a massive bonus for burning everything down, but make sure you don’t burn the staircase before you’ve made your escape.

It runs just fine in DOSBox, but you may need to assign a key for ScrollLock, which speeds the simulation up after you have exited a level. – [Description by Bennett Foddy]
