The Hours is a twisty piece about time travel and conspiracy, of medium length for a comp game (I think it took me a bit less than an hour to go through). More details follow the jump.

IF Comp 2011: The Binary
The Binary is a time-travel science fiction thriller from the same universe as Vicious Cycles, a story implemented first in Inform (2001) and then in a customized web engine as demonstrated at the IF Demo Fair (2011). The Binary appears in an improved version (as I understand it) of that same customized web engine. Consequently, this review talks both about the game itself and about the engine for which it is an early representative.
IF Comp 2011: It
“It” concerns a game we used to call Sardines — one person hides, and the seekers gradually find her and join her in the space. It’s a short but broad game with many possible outcomes.
IF Comp 2011: Taco Fiction
Taco Fiction is a comedy about crime and being in the wrong part of town. It’s moderate length for a comp game — I think I spent about an hour on it, possibly a little more.
IF Comp 2011: Playing Games
