Photopia by Adam Cadre

Photopia is a short text game that launched a revolution in interactive storytelling as the medium entered the 21st century. Take on the roles of several different characters, in settings ranging from an alien world to a suburban backyard, and discover how their stories fit together. The iOS edition of Photopia adds a gorgeous, intuitive touchscreen interface... and a few surprises!
