IFComp (Interactive Fiction Competition)

The Interactive Fiction Competition (IFComp) is an annual event where writers showcase their text-based adventure games. Participants create interactive stories that players navigate by reading descriptions and making choices, similar to choose-your-own-adventure books but with more complexity and immersion. These games are judged by the community based on factors like storytelling, creativity, and design. The competition promotes innovation in interactive storytelling and supports the community of creators and fans interested in text-driven games. It has been influential in fostering the development and appreciation of interactive fiction as a form of digital art.
