"Enterprise" On Line "The Enterprise Incidents: a Middle School Fantasy," is a story about middle school kids and teachers.  Its puzzles are fairly easy, though its reading level can be challenging at times.  "The Enterprise Incidents" was written by Brendan Desilets, who maintains this Web site, with lots of help from beta testers Sophie Fruehling, Jeff Nassiff, Matt Carey, and Sean Desilets.  Hints and a walkthru are available within the story.

You can download the Inform story file for "The Enterprise Incidents" using this link.  For more information on using a story file, read the "Getting IF" page on this Web site.

Or, if you prefer, you can probably read "The Enterprise Incidents" on line, using this link.  Depending on your browser and other elements of your computer, you may have trouble reading the story this way, or you may find that you cannot save your progress.

Another version of "The Enterprise Incidents" includes some on-screen maps and other graphical elements.  You can download the story file for this version, using this link.  This variation of the story uses an IF-creation tool called Glulx and requires an interpreter that is different from the ones used with other stories featured on this website.

You can download a Glulx interpreter for your computer's operating system from the Interactive Fiction Archive at:

Look in the directory called "programming."

You can download a Glulx interpreter for Windows, using this link.
