This story is a choose-your-own-adventure game that parodies the tropes and cliches of fantasy games by placing them in a mundane bureaucratic setting. The tone is very lighthearted and playful, and there's many branching paths to explore; if you have time, play it a few times to see all it has to offer.
Read "The Department of Adventuring"
This is a science-fiction horror story inspired by works such as Ridley Scott's Alien and John Carpenter's The Thing.
