Stoke the fires of your imagination with exciting new fiction books unlike anything you've ever seen before.

Think of your favorite story. Now think of the main character in that story. And imagine that you have become that character. You are standing in his shoes, in his world. You have people to meet, places to visit and challenges to face. It's all just as vivid as anything you've ever experienced in real life.
"The passion that players bring to these games comes from the same source as all fiction-induced pleasure - the projection of self into another world and the desire to learn what happens next as the adventures unfold. Only in this case, it's up to you determine what happens next." - Rolling Stone Magazine
The decisions are yours.. and so are the consequences. In interactive fiction, you communicate with the story in conversational English sentences or you can abbreviate; our games are intelligent and will understand you. The plot unfolds as you decide what to do next, drawing you into a world so involving that it taps your adrenaline as much as your intellect. Your pulse races with the anticipation of what lies ahead. You feel the thrill of discovery and the panic of life-threatening situations. You laugh, you cry, you cheer aloud, and when you finally succeed, the glory is all yours.
Beginning with incredible research conducted live and on location, Implementor Howard Sherman weaves a thought-provoking story around the places, peoples and things he encounters. Invoking your emotions as well as your intellect, the result is an experience beyond conventional fiction; you are totally immersed in the Interactive Fiction world you find yourself in.
The New York Times has described a work of interactive fiction as a "participatory novel" which summarizes it nicely.
While a book has a pre-determined chronology of events as written by the author, the events in a work of Interactive Fiction are dictated by you, the player. You decide when to search the garden for footprints and other clues, you determine which interesting items in a room you will take with you or leave behind. How will the story end? Only you can decide that.
Don't worry about compatibility. Our titles can be enjoyed on any computer or PDA and most cell phones. iPod users can enjoy our games too.
As soon as you load a Malinche title, your journey begins. Using real English commands such as go north, take the postcard, look at the locker, etc. you navigate your way through your story. When you enter a room there may be something of interest to examine, a person to talk to, or a mysterious staircase leading down into darkness. Since you are the star of the show every move you make is yours alone to decide.
