Gargoyle is a unifed IF interpreter and Glk implementation for both the MS-Windows and Unix operating systems. The author and maintainer is Tor Andersson.

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

Gargoyle is intended to care about typography, that is to render the IF in a way most comfortable for reading. Features include specially chosen fonts, kerning, ligatures and many others. However, among those not currently implemented is text justification.
