The Witch’s Yarn

Posted a review of the independent game The Witch’s Yarn at IF-Review. The Witch’s Yarn is not exactly conventional text-based IF, but its author describes it as interactive fiction, and it does tackle some interesting problems in interface, social interaction in games, and plot construction.
