Well I'm pleased to say it does! look like I'll be able to stay in contact
while in the states (thanks to Sebby and Jason on audiogames.net for telling
me about changing mail ports).
However to answer charlse's question.
Delight games are indeed gamebooks like the choiceofgames, you read a
section and then respond. They tend to work more like the old fighting
fantasy ones than the cog titles, eg, you have recognizable stats like
health. They're very vo accessible these days (they didn't used to be),
though soemtimes you'll need to do a tap with four fingers at the bottom or
a couple of three finger swipes to get to the choices.
As to how the games work financially, well there is one program, the delight
games library, and various series within that, such as wizar'd's choice and
deep space huntress. You get the first book of each series for free, but
have to purchice the others. You can also buy coins that let you undo
choicee, though coins can also be earned through playing as well.
I will say I got rather lucky with this, since as I bought the library some
time ago when it was still called delight games premium, I got the hole lot
for free, which was rather nice considering that I'd thought initially that
I'd bought an inaccessible ap :D.
If your interested in gamebook style games on the Iphone however, I'd also
highly recommend the choiceofgames and hosted games titles.
For something more traditional style if, there are games like hadean lands
and dreamhold available.

Subject: [Audyssey] interactive fiction on the iPhone
I have decided to give interactive fiction games a try. I got a library of
them from the app store for my iPhone 6. While the app is free, it was
indicated in an article at
www.applevis.com
that the first book is free and you then order the others as inapp
purchases based on whether you like the first one, so I figure that I have
nothing to lose.
Having said this, I hope the following questions aren’t dumb. (I grin as
I post these.) Which book is the first one and how do these books work?
Any suggestions on which book to try, as a beginner, if I do have a
choice?
The app is listed on my phone as “delight games”. Any steerage in the
right direction is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
If you think you're finished, you! really! are! finished!!
