"Last month, I had a weird day and cranked out an extremely short game in about 12 hours. Part of it was catharsis, and part of it was to test my reusable code module. One of my friends managed to get through this game in less than 10 minutes. It deals a lot with surrealism, and is maybe the IF equivalent of a s#!tpost. It’s also technically adult IF, but you can absolutely complete the game without finding any of the adult elements. I just added a bunch of really silly actions for anyone who is really committed to the bit, which then necessitated an unexpected level of mechanical implementation." -Joey Tanden, October 3rd, 2023 Cover art by catherine

"Late Thursday night. You've had a hard day and the last thing you need is this: shopping. Luckily, the place is pretty empty and you're progressing rapidly. On to the next aisle... Aisle started out as a game which would not need the usual meta-verbs... i.e. a game with only one turn. The initial idea was: How do I make a game with only one turn interesting? Give it lots of endings--in fact there are many 'endings' and (hopefully) every sensible action results in an 'ending'. There is no winning action. There is however more going on than just this and the more endings you see the more things should become clear."
