The Space Under the Window
- The Space Under the Window
"The Space Under the Window" is a 1997 interactive fiction game by Andrew Plotkin.
This game uses an entirely different structure than that of traditional IF, veering away from score-based puzzles and one set goal. At the beginning, a short descriptive scene is displayed. Instead of entering commands, the player selects one of the words from the text, and the scene is altered - often subtly, for example, an addition of a few words or a shift in atmosphere. There are multiple paths along the narrative, and several endings ranging in mood.
"The Space Under the Window" was a finalist in the 1997 XYZZY Awards for Best Use of Medium and Best Writing. It has inspired parodies such as "The Chicken Under The Window" by Lucian P. Smith.
