Okay, so @futureruins, @rha and myself are working on a little something for #SpringThing  

Are you sitting on a brand new, finished, and unreleased interactive fiction project that you're itching to share with the world?

It might prove beneficial to participate in The 2026 Spring Thing Festival of Interactive Fiction then!

The 2025 Spring Thing Festival of Interactive Fiction

Spring Thing is an annual online festival celebrating new interactive fiction from all kinds of people.

Drawing up my initial target list of games to play from the 2025 Spring Thing Festival of Interactive Fiction. Have noted down 20 games for starters, a mix of parser and choice based.

Entries from the annual interactive fiction competition, Spring Thing, are now playable.

Looking forward to the Spring Thing interactive fiction festival which will be running very soon. Good luck to all the entrants! I'm looking forward to hopefully trying as many of the games as possible. Ditto for IFComp in the autumn - I've postponed my next entry to 2026. https://www.springthing.net/2025/ #SpringThing #interactiveFiction #IndieGames #Games #IFComp
