8 Narrative games reviewed and scored, best first.

A six-day art-game experiment about quitting your job, one act of quiet refusal at a time — five minutes long, endlessly written about since, and still one of the cleanest arguments Flash ever produced for treating games as a critical medium rather than a toy.
7.5 / 10
A ten-minute Flash platformer from 2010 that opens by telling you your gender is wrong, then spends the rest of its length making you choose between a narrator's approval and your own defiance — and rigs the controls so that choice never feels comfortable either way.
7.5 / 10
A Seville studio's debut tactical RPG that looks like Darkest Dungeon and plays like Final Fantasy Tactics — two battle points a turn, a board that fights back, and one act of a campaign that has another year of building to do.
7.5 / 10
A free 2009 Newgrounds puzzle platformer where you solve rooms by recording and replaying your own past movements, wrapped around a hermit's confession that turns the clone mechanic into the point of the story rather than a gimmick bolted onto it.
7.5 / 10
A Newgrounds exploration game a teenage Thomas Brush built alone in ActionScript 2.0, drawing over 8 million plays in 2010 on hand-drawn atmosphere and dream logic that its own fifteen minutes of gameplay can't fully carry.
7 / 10
PuffballsUnited's second Henry Stickmin game locks its stick-figure lead in a cell with a mystery cake and thirty-six branching choices, and bets the whole experience on the joke waiting behind every wrong answer rather than on the puzzle logic of picking the right one — a bet that made it Newgrounds' most-viewed entry in the entire series within its first year.
7 / 10
A life-sim RPG about inheriting an empire that is already failing, built on the most detailed consequence machinery the genre has attempted — and undone slightly by how visible that machinery is.
7 / 10
A Chinese-developed xianxia tactics RPG with a genuinely good grid on it, sold at a fair price with 19 chapters already in the box — and a cultivation ladder that turns out to be the thinnest system in the game.
6.5 / 10
