My one true love, my first IF and that has never really been beaten in my eyes is Empyrean. Unique worlbuilding, stats that matter and insane variability is some segments, and a very decent one in the others. The only game I have all achievements for.
Faerie's Bargain: The Price of Business my beloved I don't think it's unpopular as much as its obscure sure the romance is pretty barebones and the characters bit bland but its vibes lore worldbuilding fairy and steampunk themes are simply immaculate. There's an cold iron steampunk faerie killing robot bounty hunter and an secret eldritch abomination romance so that's you know an major plus.
Also Tower behind the Moon I found the characters bland other then then your Ax crazy creation who I found hilarious, the plot was confusing and a bit predictable the stat menu an complete mess overall pretty medicroe but it has an special place in my heart since its the first Interactive Fiction I played and I really liked how the author designed the schools of magic and how it affected your ascension ending.
i am not sure if it is unpopular but i haven't seen it being talked about: Checkmate in 3 Moves (wip). i will always have a soft spot for it. for me, it's perfect, flawless, 100/10. another one, i think it's dead? (most probably it is, i am just being delulu, like a wife waiting for her dead husband to come back from war): The Changeling Exchange. it was a beautiful mixture of modern and fantasy genre. the covid lockdown started after i finished highschool. i discovered IFs during that time and consumed a LOT of them, but even after 5 years and not being into IFs like before, i'm still not over these two. Honourable mentions: Averno (it only exists in my memory now), Good Intentions (dead) and Project Thornheart (also dead)
Yes! I love love this one. One of the few where you can play a rich kid + running a family's corporation sounds like fun.
The author has managed to create a rather unique setting. It's a world similar to ours, but it has its own vibe. Somehow, this IF feels cosy to me. Or maybe dreamy. Hard to describe.
The only thing I always considered a flaw was the large number of ROs, so there wouldn't be enough time in the story for each of them and the romances wouldn't be very developed. But it doesn't matter anyway. There has been no news from the author for ages :/
