Wishbringer

Wishbringer is a classic interactive fiction adventure that begins with an apparently ordinary errand and gradually develops into something considerably stranger. As a humble postal worker, you become involved in a magical situation filled with puzzles, mysterious locations, unusual characters, and the sort of objects that are definitely not mentioned in any sensible postal training manual. The game relies heavily on reading and imagination, with typed commands providing the means to explore the world and interact with it. Its writing is one of the main attractions, balancing fantasy atmosphere with the playful style associated with classic Infocom adventures. Progress often depends on careful observation and lateral thinking rather than reflexes. Wishbringer is a particularly friendly entry point into interactive fiction because it combines a relatively approachable story with the satisfying challenge of working things out for yourself. It is basically a fantasy novel that occasionally refuses to turn the page until you solve the puzzle.
