@dictatriz Pues ya puestos, voy a dejar un par de versiones interactivas con motivo del concurso #ECTOCOMP2023 que está sucediendo en estos instantes:
Esta es un librojuego digital como los Elige tu propia avetnura, pero para el antiguo Spectrum 48k de los 80 (para jugar en emulador)
SarahToday is my version of Christmas morning, because #Ectocomp2023 games are here! There's nothing I'd rather do on Halloween than play as many spooky fresh #InteractiveFiction games as possible. I just hope it's a slow work day. :) :) :)
Here are the 37 charmingly seasonal and/or blood-curdling entries: https://itch.io/jam/ectocomp-2023-english/entries
So, I've also presented my entry for #ECTOCOMP2023, red haze, to the #barebonesjam because I think it is interesting in the context of that jam.
I've used the very same structure of Lime Ergot by Caleb Wilson and I've made a new story on top of it, also, in vanilla Ink/Inky.
That is, I've ported the telescopic mechanic of Lime Ergot to Ink.

Read the comment for a mild spoiler Lime Ergot / red haze structure comparison (THEY ARE THE SAME! I TOLD YOU)
The first hour of the #ECTOCOMP2023 La petite mort challenge is exhausted.
(games for this category must be done in less than 4 hours.)
After two weeks of pre-design and specification, and all this morning preparing the framework, and environment, procrastinating, and getting conscious myself, I finally got to produce 1 hour of not-so-straight work.
Wish me luck, #InteractiveFiction friends.
We have already 4 works of #InteractiveFiction at #ECTOCOMP2023 BUT...
Games won't be listed in the competition @itchio page until 31th Oct. Ready for #Halloween
This is a good start for this year harvest! ,🎃👻
All in all, very interesting podcast this one. I don't know where it comes from, it gives the impression that it takes advantage of and recovers recordings from Alan Moore's vast archive of speeches. But it's worth it.
This whole atmosphere fits very well with the idea I have for this year's #ECTOCOMP2023 #InteractiveFiction. So yeah, they are perfect nightmare material in these articles, works, and podcasts. Highly recommended.

I've asked the #InteractiveFiction community about their favorite works of horror from past ECTOCOMP editions...
And, gosh! They have provided!
So here is a great list for trembling in anticipation for #ECTOCOMP2023
