SF Bay Area Interactive Fiction Group Meetup

The Indie Game Festival nominees were announced and one of the games nominated for the grand prize is a Event[0] http://event0game.com/

I would describe it as a first-person typer. You move around a space station, finding terminals where you type to an AI who responds to you, chatbot-style. I'll bring it to the meetup.

Orwell http://orwellgame.com/ is a dystopian game that you play by interacting with a surveillance database, nominated for an IGF Narrative Award.

Some graphical choice-based visual novels were also nominated for the IGF Narrative Award this year, including the sex-based Ladykiller in a Bind http://ladykillerinabind.com/ and One Night Stand http://www.gamesbykinmoku.com/one-night-stand.html which is about an awkward post-sex conversation.

We can also try a new Texture game, Stay Lost https://texturewriter.com/play/suburbanghost/stay-lost where the draggable words are "who" "what" and "why," rather than action verbs, or a Twine game, Remanence http://www.stephchan.com/if/Remanence_StephanieChan.html a sci-fi story about memories.

Please RSVP so we know how much food to bring!
