A Dark and Stormy Entry

About

A Dark and Stormy Entry casts you as a writer wrestling with a blank page. Every choice shapes the story’s direction, location, tone, and plot twists all hinge on your decisions. The game unfolds through text, with branching paths that let you steer toward mystery, sci-fi, or outright absurdity. There’s no fixed endpoint, just the evolving tale you craft as you go. Created by Emily Short, this 2001 interactive fiction title leans into her knack for clever narrative structures. Players praise its flexibility, letting them jump from a Scottish moor to a moonbase with a single click. Though over two decades old, its playful approach to storytelling and sharp writing keep it relevant among text-based fans. Short’s work often tops lists for clever design, and this game remains a favorite for its cheeky creativity.
