“Detectiveland” is a comic detective story with puzzles, built using a new Javascript engine
designed to create the feel and agency of parser-based interactive fiction while using a
newcomer-friendly keyboardless interface. There are three mystery cases to solve, which
can be done in any order (or all at once), plus an endgame. The story won first place in the
2016 Interactive Fiction competition, and is currently shortlisted for Reading Digital Fiction’s
“Opening Up Digital Fiction” prize.
