I’m interesting in rating some games (I’m thinking 30ish?) that are focused on creating an interesting atmosphere or narrative, and than writing about my observations from playing them.

I tend not to be into “interactive fiction” for the following reasons.

- Non-intuitive control schemes (I’m looking at you, text-parser.)

- Boring opening situations (I’m looking at you, I’m-somewhere-but-I-Don’t-know-Why)

- Find-the-Authors-Solution-Through-Trial-and-Error (I hate you, every puzzle revolving around kitchenware)

However, if your “interactive fiction” doesn’t feature any of those qualities strongly, than we’ll talk

If you comment that you want your game to be rated, I’d probably be somewhat critical about it. Not actually that critical, because I’m a big softie who spent 3 days doing the same thing you did and thought it was totally awesome that you did, but still somewhat critical.
