Violet

So you've played Photopia, but that was more of a story than a game. This game, titled "Violet" , increases the game aspect with puzzles for the reader to solve, but still manages to keep the story in the foreground.

I found Violet to be an incredibly engaging game, one that was fairly easy but still kept the reader interested with its level of detail. "Violet" received first place in the 2008 IF Competition, so that's always a good sign. Check it out.


==Quick plot synopsis:==

The problem? You're a graduate student working on your dissertation, but you haven't gotten any writing done in months. Your girlfriend Violet has put her life on hold, waiting for you to finish, and she's getting fed up. If you don't get a thousand words written today, your relationship is over and she flies home to Australia. Unfortunately, your office is full of every kind of distraction, from the window overlooking campus hijinx to the computer on your desk, always ready to show you the latest blogs and web comics instead of your chapter-in-progress. So you have no choice but to shut out everything that's causing you distraction so that you can turn in a few hours of solid work for once." ~ Jayisgames
