What begins as a peaceful countryside picnic turns into a desperate race against nature itself.

Written by Andrew Plotkin, A Change in the Weather was one of the winners of Infocom’s 1995 Interactive Fiction Competition, celebrated for its atmosphere, pacing, and emotional depth.

When a sudden storm strikes, you must navigate flooded terrain, unstable bridges, and the consequences of hesitation as time and nature close in.

Deceptively simple yet hauntingly powerful, this story of choice and consequence remains one of interactive fiction’s most memorable early masterpieces.
