Today's Web narrative game is Escape To Obion, a sequence of episodes within a narrative arc. Each episode (well, the two I've played so far) consists of very Myst-like puzzles. Designer Matt Slaybaugh has produced five episodes so far.
Slaybaugh blogs, and offers some interesting narrative principles. No inventory, no backing up into earlier puzzles. The result is a straightforward immersion in puzzle-solving. Nice graphics, not much sound, clear gameplay. The storyline is fairly separate from gamplay.
