I'd like to build an interactive fiction game, also known as a text adventure. I think the genre is very interesting. I loved the King's Quest games growing up, and I felt that when the text parser was shunned for simplified interfaces, something very special was lost. The blinking cursor of the text parser represented a window into infinite interactions. A living story book. This video sees me considering why I think Interactive Fiction is so interesting.

I've been learning "Inform 7", with the goal of writing my own Interactive Fiction piece in the future.
