I was downloading a bunch of games from IFDB to play, but I mixed them up. I opened a file called Six.gam expecting it to be Wade Clarke’s game about little girls playing hide and seek, but was shocked to discover the game began with a drived going off the road in a snowstorm.
I thought that somehow Six was all framed as a hallucination about the dying protagonist’s childhood, until I realized I was actually playing the game Six Stories.
It made me wonder what other mashups of vaguely similar-sounding IF would be like (for instance, Blue Chairs and Little Blue Men, a psychedelic office intern experience. Or With Those Creatures Such As We Which We Love Alive, a surreal romance about a lonely dead arthropod on the moon).
What’s your mashup?
