}}Violet is a work of interactive fiction by American author Jeremy Freese.[1] It is a one-room puzzle game.[1] It took first place in the 2008 Interactive Fiction Competition with an average score of 8.53.[1]

That score is the highest of any Interactive Fiction Competition entry from 1999 through 2012.[2]

Violet was selected as the best interactive fiction game for 2008 by both the Jay Is Games staff and audience.[3] Violet took 35.1% of the vote in the Jay Is Games audience award, compared to 18.7% for the second-place winner, Lost Pig.[3]Violet won four awards in the 2008 XYZZY Awards: Best game, writing, individual puzzle ("Disconnecting the Internet in Violet/Getting rid of the key in Violet"), and individual NPC (Violet, the eponymous character).[4]

The protagonist of Violet is a graduate student trying to write 1,000 words for his dissertation.[5] The protagonist's girlfriend, Violet, threatens to leave otherwise.[5][6] The protagonist faces a stream of distractions,[5] including a window with a view of the campus, and a computer with access to blogs and webcomics.[6]

In the course of the game, the protagonist must "reconsider—and risk wrecking—" his career and relationship.[5]

A reviewer for The A.V. Club described the puzzles as "smart but logical" and "fit[ting] thematically into the story."[5] The reviewer also called out the ability to disable "'heteronormativity,' so you can play as Violet’s girlfriend" as something that makes the game "Worth playing for".[5] A second review also observes this option, noting that at least one puzzle changes based on the choice.[6]

A writer for Jay Is Games called out Violet for "succeed[ing] in the difficult task of capturing the intricacies of a dynamic relationship."[3] The writer also praised the game for succeeding at engaging the player at "the core emotional level", again noting how difficult this is.[3] Emily Short, in a review on Jay Is Games, noted the strength of the implementation, pointing to the breadth of "interesting responses even to silly or unexpected actions."[6] Short felt that the characters were "seemingly-real" and "their problem is plausible and serious."[6]
