Back in May we posted a link to IntroComp, an annual interactive-fiction competition in which entrants submit only the first part of their games. Players vote for the winning game.

The introductions are now available and can be found here in a single zipped file:

There are 5 games in ChoiceScript this year; it’s easier to play them online than in the zip file, so I linked to their websites below.

There are thirteen entries this year. They are as follows:

• Bender, by Katz
• Choice of the Petal Throne, by Danielle Goudeau
• Choice of Zombies, by Heather Albano
• Chunky Blues, by Scott Hammack and Jessamin Yu
• The Despondency Index, by Ed Blair
• Exile, by Simon
• Gargoyle, by Simon
• Of Pots and Mushrooms, by Devi and Maya
• Parthenon, by Charles Wickersham
• Seasons, by Poster (MT)
• Speculative Fiction, by Thomas Mack
• Stalling for Time, by Dominic Delabruere
• The Z-Machine Matter, by Zack Urlocker

The voting deadline is midnight Eastern time on July 17, 2011. You’ll need to register before you can login and vote online.

Please vote for your favorite intoductions! May the best game win!
