Thistledown Hall
You arrive at Thistledown Hall the night the old owner is buried. The house is yours if you can find the deed by dawn — and the house rearranges itself every time the moon moves. You play by typing commands into a real parser, and above the text an ink illustration draws itself line by line for every room you enter and every object you examine. Nothing is pre-rendered: sixty-odd engravings, all of them stroke lists laid down by hand while you watch. Twenty-eight rooms, fourteen puzzles, four people, four endings, and two hundred and forty minutes of moon.

Vesperwing
A moth shmup through a candlelit cathedral. Your glow is ammo and lure: drink flame to charge your beam, but the brighter you burn, the faster the shadow choir converges. Three stages, three bosses, and a bell fought in the dark.
