Spring Thing 2017

The 2017 Spring Thing Festival of Interactive Fiction features twenty-two stories submitted by authors working across the spectrum of text games. Authors chose whether to place their games in the Main Festival, where they are up for ribbons and prizes, or the Back Garden, with looser entry requirements allowing for more experimental or work-in-progress entries.
