Horror IF?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.int-fiction (More info?)

Hi,

I love horror in games, fiction, movies, etc and I was looking for
recommendations on more horror IF. I've played Anchorhead, Babel,
Theatre, Lurking Horror, the one where you start in a grave in a
churchyard (forget the name), the one where you're alone in your
apartment, (called Alone, maybe?) and probably a few others that I can't
remember.

Can anyone recommend some good horror IF besides the ones I've already
played? I'm open for pretty much any type: supernatural, Lovecraftian,
zombie, psychological, etc, as long as it's entertainging and hopefully
creepy/scary.

Thanks,

J. W. McCall

I haven't played past the beginning yet, but Robb Sherwin's "Necrotic Drift"
(Hugo) is supposed to be really good.

A short, fun, and relatively new one (2004) is Act of Misdirection, by
Callico Harrison.

It's not a big genre in IF, but there are definitely some games out
there. I would suggest hitting the IF scoreboard
http://www.carouselchain.com/if/statistics.php?genre=9&type=genre&limit=30
which has a search-by-genre feature.

Baf's Guide has an even more extensive listing (though not scored as
finely):

A search against the Horror genre at the IF Ratings site will give you
quite a few to choose from:

I haven't heard and don't know anything about that one. You'd have to check
it out for yourself -- Sorry.
