Hi Dark.
Ah, well it depends on what stimulates you. For my part, if I've had a
really shitty day or have an anxiety attack as sometimes happens after a
stressful situation, I lock myself away and play an Infocom or other other
IF title. I'm an avid reader, so games that not only have great plot but
some tricky puzzles and inventive words in their parsers which I have to
guess at help to soothe my nerves because I am having to concentrate on the
task at hand. I do enjoy games from Choice of Games and those at
www.ffproject.com, however there's nothing like traditional IF for a good
challenge. I recently played a very difficult but immensely satisfying game
set in an abandoned school called Enemies in which you are an accountant who
has been blessed with good fortune, however two school acquaintances decide
to test you one night in a fight for your life puzzle fest because they've
become psychotic and feel they were unfairly treated. As you solve the
puzzles, the story unfolds and its really important to pay attention to
detail as there are sections of the game in which you have to guess the
right move at the right time. For reference, this game is by Andy Philips
and is available as a ZCode game in the IF-Archive along with his other
games, Heroine's Mantel, Inside Woman, Time All Things Come to an End and
Heist in no particular order of publication.
All the best, Ibrahim.
