Spatterlight is a unified IF interpreter for macOS. It was originally developed by Tor Andersson, and is now maintained by Petter Sjölund.

Spatterlight combines the abilities of many interpreters and is able to play games targeted for the following platforms: ADRIFT (up to version 4), AdvSys, AGT, Alan, Glulx, Hugo, Level 9, Magnetic, TADS 2, TADS 3, and Z-code (except version 6). HTML TADS is not supported yet (text only).
