Make It Good (2009)

A moving household and a troubled detective make this a richer, less comfortable successor to Infocom's small-cast mysteries. The afternoon advances as you investigate, and other people's actions can change the situation you hoped to examine. Timing is tangled up with how you handle the case, rather than serving as a simple final countdown. The help menu, suggested conversation TOPICS and navigation commands ease the parser work; SAVE and UNDO support experiments. Expect difficult inference and a morally uneasy story, even with those conveniences.
