Here every game is a story waiting to unfold as you guide your alter ego by texting where to go and what to do next. Text Fiction is a Z-Machine story interpreter (aka terp) with a modern, SMS style user interface for playing Z-Code games like the famous Zork triology. Hundreds of free stories, ranging from fantasy over horror to science fiction are available for download. FEATURES: * Plays z3, z5 and z8 games (may be wrapped in zblorb) * Unique, instant messanger like user interface * Configurable quick command keys to cut down on typing (long press to modify). * Copy&Paste words to the prompt from the chat bubbles by tapping them * Clear words from the prompt by double tapping a chatbubble. * Nightmode ("Lucy" / "Mina" colorscheme) * Stories can be read out loud via TTS engine (long touch a bubble to start, touch to stop). * Ability to customize font and fontsize. * Touch sensitive borders/corners for moving in the designated cardinal direction (may be fiddly on small screens). * Saving/Restoring from the menu (will NOT work via commands).
