Open Source IF is interactive fiction that is released together with its source code. This allows other authors to study the source code and see how things were done. Unlike free software, open source software does not necessarily allow you to modify and redistribute the work. (It should be noted that this terminological difference is not universally accepted, as some people and organisations use open source software as a synonym of free software.) Free software Interactive Fiction will not be listed below, since it already has its own page.
Interactive Fiction released as Open Source Software
