  Version: ADRIFT - Interactive Fiction Toolkit 5.0.22

  Pros

  Easy to create your own IF. You don't have to learn code but can almost go right ahead and create your game.
  Once you get the hang of it, this is a great tool with graphich and sound options.
  When your game is ready, you can save it as an .exe file or as a blorb.

  Cons

  Can be a little tricky to get started with.
  Some commands are not all that clear.
  At the time of writing 16/1-2012 The manual isn't all that clear.

  Summary

  Absolutely worth a try. I've been happy with it.
