Pre-2013 incomplete games that became eligible in 2013
(No games known to be in this category this year. If you know of any, tell us!)
Ineligible 2013 release games
Games with a 2013 release date may be ineligible for XYZZY Award game awards because of prior release or incompleteness. Ports, translations, and remakes of pre-2013 games are not normally considered eligible. (Exceptions can be made for games with substantial changes, e.g. Lydia's Heart in 2007, which was a substantial rewrite of Last Resort from 2006.) Incomplete games (such as IntroComp entries) become eligible in the year in which they are completed. Demos that were not intended to be previews of games are, however, eligible for the Best Technological Development award.
New for 2013: Games must be listed on IFDB by January 1st of the following year to be eligible.
- 4 Picas by Johan Paz (Inform 7; Glulx; Spanish) [ref] [IFRO] (NOT-ON-IFDB)
- Akkoteaque by Anthony Casteel (Inform 7; Glulx) (UNFINISHED)
- Apartment Complex by Dustin Lacewell (TADS 3) (UNRELEASED)
- Auf dem richtigen Pfod? by radieurng (Talefriends; Web browser; German) [Play online] (NOT-ON-IFDB)
- Barren. by Word-Smith (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(A work in progress. Version 1.5 as of 13-Jan-2014.)
- Bench by :3 (Quest 5.3) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
- Best Laid Plans by David Whyld (Inform 7; Glulx) (UNFINISHED)
- Big Wormhole Adventures by Big Worm Hole (Quest 5.3) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(Billed as a demo.)
- The Captain by John Bird (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online]
(If there's "more to come later", I'm guessing I should mark this as unfinished?)
- Card Warriors by hylandm1991 (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(After a huge wall of text, then you have the endless option of saying whether you win or lose a challenge in one of six zones. It seems to be refering to a card game without implementing any of the mechanics. And there's no ending.)
- Chess for Quest by Mauricio Diaz Garcia (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online] (NOT-IF)
(A chess sim isn't IF as I understand it. (And the board doesn't display correctly, as least in the online version I tried.))
- The Coffee Apocalypse (DEMO) by kabahaly (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
- Creedwater's Revival by Euan Jackson (inklewriter; Kindle) [Future Voices!] (NOT-ON-IFDB)
- Dance of the Mara by David Essex (inklewriter; Kindle) [Future Voices!] (NOT-ON-IFDB)
- The Dead by Xander Kyron (Quest 5.3) [Home] [Play online]
(The coding is so poor that it's unplayable. The first page has two links, one of which is broken. The second page from the working link has no links. I'm marking it as incomplete.)
- Dengan Balon ke Sahara by husadani (Quest 5.4; Indonesian) [Home] [Play online]
(David: Strongly suspect this is a port of the CYOA book shown in the cover art, itself a translation of "By Balloon to the Sahara" by Douglas Terman.
Sam: yeah, I concur with your assessment.)
- Despina by Shiro-Otaku (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(The game's blurb says it's a "work-in progress". Also the game's homepage is unlisted.)
- Diddle Doddle | Life on a cider farm by David Harris (HTML5; Web browser) [Home] [Play online] (NOT-IF)
(David: This isn't IF in any usual sense. Most of the game involves clicking or dragging on the graphics to make something happen. The barrels of juice are dated with real-time dates, suggesting that it also turns into cider in real-time.
Sam: yeah, not IF by any reasonable standard.)
- domination at its finest by caitlin () (UNRELEASED)
(No links anywhere.)
- A Elven Adventure by WonderlandIsAnIllusion (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(The game is unfinished (as the blurb says). Choosing the left path after the night sky sequence results in no choices offered.)
- Epic RPG Part 1:Coolio Quest by Coolio2 () (UNRELEASED)
(Several fields on IFDB are filled with "none".)
- Es kam aus der Mülltonne! by _LEITBILD_ (Talefriends; Web browser; German) [Play online] (NOT-ON-IFDB)
- Evylon by Cosby Burnet (TADS 3) (UNRELEASED)
(No download link or webpage listed for this game at IFDB? Is it on the archive? Also, IFDB claims source code is available? Where?)
- The Example of the Chicken Sexer by Simon Christiansen (Inform 7; Z-code) (UNFINISHED)
- Expedition Alpha by abba2566 (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
- explorer by Jordan Blackman (C++; MS-Windows)
(I want to say that the game is too difficult to find. The homepage given on IFDB is malformed, but if fixed, the link is to a blog. If you search for "explorer" there, you can find the relevant blog post that links to the .exe file to download. Clicking on that page warns you that there might be a virus (but a comment on the blog says he doesn't know how to make a virus). I didn't want to risk downloading it.)
- Facing Life, Facing Death by Jeff Xilon (inklewriter; Kindle) [Future Voices!] (NOT-ON-IFDB)
- Final Hours by ErnestJr (Quest) [Home] [Play online]
- Die finstere Festung by Nachtigall (Talefriends; Web browser; German) [Play online] (NOT-ON-IFDB)
- First by Shannon Prickett (Inform 7; Glulx) (UNFINISHED)
- The Four Masters by Mario Cavalcanti (JavaScript) [Home] (LOST)
(The link to the game, if it existed, is currently broken. The game may be lost.)
- From the Darkness by kblob78 (Quest x.x) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
- Get born by Anonymous () (UNRELEASED)
- Gothar's Hope demo by Avantar (Quest) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(Billed as a demo.)
- Halleluja by WordNanny (Talefriends; Web browser; German) [Play online] (NOT-ON-IFDB)
- Hangman by Alexxis Sade (inklewriter; Kindle) [Future Voices!] (NOT-ON-IFDB)
- The Harsh Future by pridmiester (Quest x.x) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(Comments ask "it is not finished right?")
- The Haunting by Jay Nabonne1 (Quest x.x) [Home] [Play online]
(The author blurb says "Yes, work to do still. Consider this an experiment." -- which suggests to me it's a demo. Or unfinished. Also, for what it's worth, the story is completely linear (no branching), and the story itself was published years ago as static text.)
- House in the Forest v1.4 by orgomemberxv (Quest x.x) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(Declared as "a first draft ... i'm still making it".)
- The Hunters Destiny by Dreamwalker (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(Only chapter 1 so far; "the gamebook is contstantly [sic] in development so keep checking for updates".)
- Interactive Media - A Text Adventure Simulation by Bradley Wyatt (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(The opening text states: "Unfortunately the story is not finished as I had to create this in a limited time period and I was new to the software. As such the game ends abruptly and obviously this is not how I wanted it to turn out.")
- Karen by Magic Orange (Quest x.x) [Home] [Play online]
(Self-declared as a demo.)
- Karen Part 2 by Magic Orange (Quest x.x) [Home] [Play online]
(If part one is a demo, that means part two is also a demo? Maybe?)
- The King's Ransom by johcomp (Quest x.x) [Home] [Play online]
("A remake of the classic Graphic Adventure Creator Demo adventure.")
- Klara by Montag (Talefriends; Web browser; German) [Play online] (NOT-ON-IFDB)
- Labyrinthian by itarechi (Quest x.x) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(Self-declared work-in-progress. Also, this Quest version will be abandoned. The finished game will use a different website and program; link to the new site has not yet been posted.)
- The Larry Parable by Sophie Ward (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online]
(Self-declared as a demo (when you reach an ending).)
- The Last of us part 2 Hells abound by awesomeman12345 (Quest x.x) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(Only two chapters released so far. Author won't release chapter three until the game has been more played, reviewed, and commented on.)
- Legend of Time (Demo) by Jsimmons (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online]
(Self-declared as a demo.)
- Library by Sophia (Quest x.x) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
- Liebe Haut by Montag (Talefriends; Web browser; German) [Play online] (NOT-ON-IFDB)
- Liebe und Tod by Montag (Talefriends; Web browser; German) [Play online] (NOT-ON-IFDB)
- The Life of a Computer Tech (Testing) by RandyG (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
- Locked in a dungeon (test game) by Siddi (Quest x.x) [Home] [Play online] (LOST) (NOT-ON-IFDB)
(Self-declared as a test game. And it's no longer on IFDB and no longer exists at the Quest site. Both its Quest site page and corresponding IFDB page have been replaced with a German game, "Und wieder ein typischer Fall von Amnesie".)
- Magemoor by BenAtModeflick (Quest x.x) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(Currently in "second beta".)
- Megaman dimensions by Seakladoom () (UNRELEASED)
- Mlp love is magic! by mlp Rainbow Dash (Quest x.x) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(Still a work in progress. As of 20-Jan-2014, it's up to version 0.4.)
- A Most Deadly Disease by Rob Warden (inklewriter; Kindle) [Future Voices!] (NOT-ON-IFDB)
- My Great Return by K1ngkill3r35 (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(As near as I can tell, the story just stops even before the prologue sequence ends.)
- Night Watch by James la Marche (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online]
(David: Although the Quest program itself exists and appears to be fine, it may be unsolvable for most people because "it will require the use of the class textbook, your lecture notes, the library and internet research." The first puzzle requires listening to a news report on an embedded YouTube video, and entering the street address of the crime that the reporter mentions.
Sam: I agree that this seems as if the complete version is unavailable to the general public. Ineligible.)
- Nurial's Adventure (Alpha) by LaBeat (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online]
- Past of Scent by Watson&Daughter (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(Self-declared as unfinished.)
- Pervert Action: Future by BBBen (ADRIFT 5) ref? (NOT-ON-IFDB)
- The Quest for the Orb of Knowledge by CL by WinchesterHouseSchool (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online]
(Self-declared as an example game for students. That is, it's a demo.)
- Quest of 9s by DavidH (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(The game appears be too broken to be finishable. There's some bad errors in the location with the test.)
- Quills by Alexander Greyling (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(Self-declared as "NOT COMPLETE.")
- The Returned by Nick19 (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(Self-declared as "not the full game, this is not even close.")
- Romance is Everywhere by JJ (Quest 5.3) [Home] [Play online] (UNFINISHED)
(Self-declared as unfinished.)
- Romancing the Throne: King's Quest II for Text by Crispin (Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online]
(I assume that an unauthorized text port of a graphical commercial game isn't eligible.)

Other comments regarding eligibility
- ✓ 18 Cadence by Aaron A. Reed (2013; Custom; iPad and Web browser) [Home] [Play online]
(David: This game's graphical interface is unique, neither parser-based nor choice-based.
Sam: yeah, this seems like a straightforward 'doesn't fit in an obvious game genre and is obviously narrative-oriented'. Eligible.)
- ✓ Character Creator by Nick Keirle (2013; Twine; Web browser) [Home] [Play online]
(David: Does this count as IF? There's humour, but no story. You're just rolling up a character for some game with some bizarre and unlikely options.
Sam: this wouldn't count if it was what it pretends to be, but it's not, so eligible.)
- ✓ Dark Mirrors by Terry (2013; Quest 5.2) [Home] [Play online]
(Check IFDB history; was it called Dark Mirrors (Part One) earlier?)
- ✓ Disenchantment Bay by Jacqueline A. Lott (2013; Inform 7; Z-code)
(David: I assume that this is more than Emily's I7 example, and is a reworking or extension similar to the Lydia's Heart case?
Sam: yes, this is a substantial addition. Eligible.)
- ✓ Dominique Pamplemousse - It's All Over Once The Fat Lady Sings! by Deirdra Kiai (2013; Flash; Web browser and MS-Windows, Macintosh, and iPad) [Home] [Play online]
(David: This is a graphical adventure -- in claymation, no less. It probably counts, though.
Sam: if we're allowing graphic adventure at all, this qualifies. Eligible.)
- ✓ The End by art3mis (2013; Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online]
(David: Caution. The author posted on Jan 11 that he's considering removing this work from the site and republishing in another format.
Sam: if it was there at any point in January, I'm going to say it satisfies Exists. Eligible.)
- ✓ Jigglypuff's Birthday by Jynxed1 (2013; Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online]
(David: The author says it's translated from Russian to English, but it's unclear if the Russian version was released previously in any way. There are references like "Go back to page 7", suggesting a non-interactive version.
Sam: if we can't say for sure about prior publication - I can't see any sign of it, myself - I'd go with eligible.)
- ✓ Kasi doesn't like vegetables by Kristoffer Zetterberg (2013; Twine; Web browser) [Play online]
(David: This is completely linear without any choices. Does it count?
Sam: 'totally linear' is not a disqualifier right now. Even if not technically CYOA, it's CYOA-adjacent. Eligible.)
- ✓ Make Me Cry by Finny (2013; Twine; Web browser) [Play online]
(David: No links to the game on the current page, but it is there in the page's history. Was the link accidentally deleted?
Sam: looking back, the wording used was 'that listing contains no links to a place where it can be played, downloaded or purchased '. The page history isn't really the listing itself. I'm kind of on the fence about this one; if you have no strong opinion, we'll go with eligible.)
- ✓ My Little Time Killer by Entropic Pen (2013; Quest x.x) [Home] [Play online]
(David: Author says this is a "perpetual work-in-progress", which sounds to me like it'll never be finished, and therefore it should count as if it were finished?
Sam: being updated a lot doesn't necessarily mean that it's a beta. Unless you've found specific language indicating that the author considers it incomplete, I'll go with eligible.)
- ✓ Operation Santa's Slay: A TLSDZ/ PSG Christmas Special by SuperGuy (2013; Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online]
(David: Completely linear story and contains embedded links to three YouTube music videos.
Sam: again, linearity is not really a criterion. Eligible.)
- PataNoir by Simon Christiansen (2011; Inform 7; Glulx; English and German) [IFWiki] [Play online]
(David: The German translation, released in 2013, is not considered a new work. The original English version was released in 2011.
Sam: yeah, a translation does not a substantial update make. Ineligible.)
- ✓ Rise of the Werebat I by norwalis (2013; Quest 5.4) [Home] [Play online]
(David: Title on IFDB says "Rise of the Werebat II", but the second game hasn't been written yet.
Sam: call this a typo, run it as I. Eligible.)
- Through the Looking Glass by Gareth Rees (1995; Inform 6 and TADS 3; Z-code and TADS 3; English and German) ref? (NOT-ON-IFDB)
("Durch den Spiegel", released in 2013, is a German translation and TADS 3 port of this Inform 6 demo from 1995.)
- ✓ Trapped in Time by Simon Christiansen (2013; PDF)
(David: This was a PDF file, not even offered as a program, but it was in IF Comp. Do we include it as "IF" for the Xyzzies?
Sam: yeah, I think this gets in - under present standards, at least. If we allow stateless CYOA with hyperlinks, I don't see that the hyperlinks themselves are the crucial element for whether something's included. It's available on a computer, it's good enough for me. Eligible.)
- ✓ The Walking Dead Volume One by H1mehimine (2013; Quest) [Home] [Play online]
(This is not the Telltale game, but a fan-made adaptation of the comic book. Eligible.)
