This week's new game is H.G.Wells' The First Men In The Moon: You get to visit the moon (and optionally Mars and the Sun), learn the (pseudo-)science of anti-gravity, explore the moon's caves, end all life on earth (not recommended) and die in lots of interesting ways. If you're not careful. There's more content than ever before, with more monsters, and the graphics are better too (especially once you enter into the selenite city).
http://enterthestory.com/a/Moon/1/1.gifThe current game is always free to play (up to that day's chapter). Go on, have a click. You know you want to.

Greetings again, Boomers.  This week's free game is Romeo and Juliet! Slightly delayed because I've added a lot of improvements, in response to feedback: - You now get the complete game, not just a few chapters
- Now with color
- Now cleaner, and easier to follow (better start, better 'the story so far', now with chapter names so you never get lost)
- With a substantial quiz - brush up your Shakespeare!
- And a mini-game about Sam Everyman, the star of the games
- The backup pages (especially "about") are more professional
- I now have a business manager: the staff has doubled
- And the quill pen actually works. (The quill pen is optional, and needs a modern browser that allows mouseover and HTML5. The rest of it should work on anything.)
http://enterthestory.com/other/screenshots/screenshot_Romeo.jpg Plus you get the usual race through a classic novel, and plenty of chances to die. Enjoy.

This weeks's free game: Macbeth
http://enterthestory.com/other/screenshots/Macbeth.jpgI'm not keeping up quite with one game per week, but that's because there is so much experimentation behind the scenes. E.g. Macbeth has more color, better art (mostly!) and various other tweaks. Any feedback or suggestions are appreciated.
