The Interactive Fiction Showcase is a year-long "jam" organised by manonamora on itch.io, meant to collect and showcase Interactive Fiction games published on the platform during 2026, and show how diverse the Interactive Fiction scene is! (And maybe: build more bridges between the community, help people finding their new favourite game/author...)
