Animal PC

Various games have been written in which the protagonist is an animal (or a fantastic non-humanoid creature). These can pose special challenges for both author and audience, since the ways in which animals interact with their environment is frequently unlike the default behaviour assumed by a standard IF parser. Animal protagonists may sense things in different ways to human ones, but usually more significant is manipulation of objects within the game - a key part of conventional IF, and one that tends to assume opposable thumbs.

Robot PC

Various games have been written in which the PC is a robot (or other general-purpose electronic computing device, or cyborg). These can pose special challenges for both author and audience, since the ways in which robots interact with their environment are frequently unusual. Robot PCs may sense things in different ways to human ones and may have a very different range of capabilities.

Year

This is a list of games sorted by the year in which each of them takes place. If the game doesn't explicitly name the year but we can still figure it out somehow, we should add a comment after the listing explaining how we know what year it is.

Time travel games like Jigsaw should probably be only listed once for now, preferably listed under the player character's time of origin. It is acceptable to add a comment listing all the years which the PC is able to visit.

Games that take place in the Zork universe ought not to be listed here; instead, please use the GUE article page to document what took place when in Zorkian history.
