Great system for playing text adventures. Plays TADS and inform games and allows some custom command buttons and font selection. Automatically saves game on exit and is allows easy import of game files. Thank you very much.

Great text adventure interpreter for Android. Plays Z Machine and TADS files that you can get from the Interactive Fiction Archive.

Update: Developers saw my review and fixed this! Preselected games will download to your Download file and need to be moved to your Interactive Fiction folder manually outside the app.

Experiencing the same issues as other reviewers: cannot go anywhere from the default screen that says "no stories installed". Trying to download preselected stories puts the files in the game directory, but nothing changes in the app itself. Also, trying to open supported files from a file manager fails with "could not read the story file". I'm running Android 10 on a Samsung Galaxy phone. Would really like to see some more support for this app, and would definitely pay for a working version!!

Downloaded the preselected games, and they're in the emulated SD card folder but the terp doesn't see them. Stuck on opening screen. The terp also makes reference to creating a folder on the SD card, but it can't actually navigate to the SD card. Will try a future version.

This interpreter is still pretty buggy. I got several error messages saying tads objects not found, had to restart interpreter. Interface is awkward; long press for copying words doesn't always work, no way to add words to quick bar, no way to access previous command history... Double tapping words to copy them would have been best.

Why do I have to copy my files to your location? Why are the writers of all these apps self-absorbed morons? Give me file/open and let me find my files. I've given the app permission to read all files. Absolute nonsense.
