Spider and Web 
(1998 Andrew Plotkin)


This game is one of the best detective games I've 
ever come across-- and you're not even a detective 
in this game. The plot, which starts out vague but 
picks up the pace quicky, revolves around 
you-- a spy-- recounting stories of your break-in 
to your enemies. Very clever puzzles that require 
logical deductions as well as creativity, and the 
equally clever use of flashbacks to advance the 
plot are what set this game apart.
