From mysteries to cosmic horror to supernatural thrillers to apocalyptic stories, we're excited to showcase the most gripping and atmospheric interactive fiction games that didn't quite fit into one of the five main categories.

We interviewed @thelonelyshore-if, creator of The Lonely Shore (overall winner of the bonus category). Read our author spotlight here.

You can play all of the submissions in this category here (many of them are horror, post-apocalyptic and supernatural/thriller).

*Though this game can technically be considered fantasy/dark fantasy, but in all fairness it was listed in the 'bonus' category at the time of voting, hence given a shout-out here
