1) Kingdom of Loathing
One part text based, one part drawn on MS paint. Kingdom of Loathing is an rpg that I'm not even going to try to explain. If you think this is up your alley, it probably is. At least stick it out past the tutorial and get a taste of the game, this one is definitely worth checking out.
https://www.kingdomofloathing.com
2) A Dark Room
I'm going to quote the source I used to find this game, reddit user Kintaro08 "I was absolutely addicted to A Dark Room. Don't look up any FAQs or hints or anything. Just roll with it and discover every part of the game yourself. It's a unique gaming experience you can only do once."
He is not wrong. http://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com/
Someone else recommended using this at the same time. Also not wrong. http://www.rainymood.com/
3) SUPER. HOT. SUPER. HOT. SUPER. HOT.
TIME MOVES ONLY WHEN YOU MOVE. Now a fully fledged game available for purchase, if you haven't played this yet do yourself a favor and check out the original prototype which is still available on browser. Worth noting this one requires Unity (I know, ugh, worth it though). http://superhotgame.com/
Does anyone recognise this footage?
(gif is from the full release)
4) SUPERHOTline Miami
You guessed it, all the slowmowyness of SUPERHOT combined with the top downyness of Hotline Miami. If you enjoy these things you're in luck because there's a full game as well called SHOOTOUT Inc.
https://albatr.itch.io/superhotline-miami
SHOOTOUT Inc.
This one isn't browser based, but it's the full game based on SUPERHOTline Miami so I thought I'd include it. It's 70mb, available for download here. https://albatr.itch.io/shootout-inc
5) Contre Jour
An atmospheric physics based puzzle game. Move by manipulating the environment around you. Tbh I'm not a fan of most of these in-browser physics based platformers, but this one kept my attention longer than most. Almost definitely better while stoned.
http://www.contrejour.ie/
6) Parameters
A unique rpg stripped down to just numbers. Black squares are quests, yellow squares are bosses. Surprisingly satisfying.

7) Frog Fractions
"Just keep playing and you'll see what I mean" - reddit user ZincHead
Seriously, just keep playing. http://twinbeard.com/frog-fractions/
8) Winnie the Pooh's Home Run Derby
"Winnie the Pooh's home run derby. Its like Dark Souls, but with baseball." - Shits-McNeil
"how is this a game for children." - dirtydela
"Motherfucker Piglet throws 'em like lightning." - rukestisak
"This game is responsible for me saying sentences I've never thought I would say before. LUMPY YOU MOTHERFUCKER I WILL SHOVE EEYORE'S TAIL UP YOUR ASS FOR THAT BULLSHIT." - TurMoiL911
http://lol.disney.com/games/winnie-the-pooh-home-run-derby
9) Candy Box 1 & 2
"the best ASCII-driven, browser-powered, candy-based RPG I’ve ever played" - Graham Smith
..just go check it out.
1 http://candies.aniwey.net/
2 http://candybox2.net/
10) Fallen London
"A browser-based choose-your-own-adventure game set in "Fallen London", an alternative Victorian London with gothic overtones."
Basically like living inside the world of a penny dreadful. I absolutely adore this game for what it tries to be, I only wish it didn't utilize the adventure point system so I could play it in longer increments.
LetumComplexo
What, no Corruption of Champions?
oceanskysforever
I thought this said "Bowser Games." As a Nintendo fan I am now pretty disappointed.

Man, Kingdom of Loathing brings back some memories. Mainly of how much I sucked at it. 'Twas good fun, though.

Kingdom of Loathing and Fallen London in the same list. It's a good time to be alive.
DrOctagonapus
Kingdom of Loathing is the shit!
xenryusho
Btw, Candybox 1(2 is great) and Dark Room were the first two idle games which included actual gameplay.
Nkhetheleng1
Kingdom of Loathing and Fallen London cast a shadow of greatness over the rest of this list. Even Frog Fractions can't measure up.

Frog Fractions is the shit. Also weird as fuck.
LoonyBoBdammitwhotookmyname
My upvote depended entirely on Frog Fractions being on the list. Best free game I ever played.

I was in an underwater cavern riding a dragon while listening to the history of boxing. And then the bug empire came.

I finished A Dark Room. I've spent so much time in Fallen London. I still haven't beaten rabbit. AND WHERE IS FROG FRACTIONS 2, DAMMIT!
sweetnaivety
you can actually finish A Dark Room? been playing it since yesterday..
FishLords
Finished is relative, I suppose. But yes, there is an end.
OperaBuffa
I'm currently balls deep into A Dark Room with absolutely zero signs of stopping. What a game.
FishLords
It's a ride. Rainy mood definitely improves the experience too.
elementalsequence
just beat it after...3-4 hours. apparently they keep score, i got 29515 which according to the internet is not great lol
IcyLucario
I aim to try them all out, but I got distracted for two hours on that stupid Kingdom of loathing. I love it.
Buffelbek
If you like, I can send you some in-game items so you can get distracted for even longer.
IcyLucario
Yeah sure! (No clue how that works, but I have the same username). Nothing too amazing. I'm level 4.

Done. Check your in-game inbox. :)

That first game is awesome! Can't believe I never heard of it before.
Buffelbek
What's your account name on KoL? I can send you a bunch of items as a starter gift package if you'd like.
Ninjoo
I never heard of it either, but it's already highly entertaining!. Can you add friends in there?
Buffelbek
Kind of. You can add people to your contact list, but that only allows you to be notified if they come online. There are clans, though.(1/2)
Buffelbek
Which is probably what you're looking for. That's probably the closest to a friends list type thing. (2/2)
Ninjoo
Thank you for that! I don't think I've reached joining clans yet. I look forward to it!

Thanks man! You're awesome! ...I also love that they made it mobile compatible! That's pretty sweet

A bit more I'm gonna take a crack at those quests. I died a bunch in assassins pirate 5. Lol

I haven't quite familiarized myself with the interface yet, and I've only been playing on mobile so it's a bit frustrating. Once I level up

I was looking for a certain text based rpg when I found corruption of Champions. I realized it was not for me when I was raped to death.
doubleormuffin
It's actually a really solid RPG though if you ignore the sex focus. I especially like the ongoing character creation.
whyisthissitesodamnpopularalsomycatisonmylap
Good games to play at work or school!
FrellingFarbot
Oh Corruption of Champions, you dirty, dirty game. I wish there was a fully animated version of that game.

Unfortunately Monster Girl Quest will just have to do.

Granted, for what MGQ lacks in creative h-scenes it makes up for in its amazing story.
Veya
In fact, you could say they are the TiTS... I will show myself out now.

So I'm not the only one who thought of it..
Even without the NSFW they are pretty fun as RPGs.

AWanderingMan
Every time I play these, I just gear up, kill all the enemies, and have largely vanilla, ehm... NPC interactions. Am I doing it wrong?
doubleormuffin
Not wrong. It's a great game even without the weird shit. Doesn't mean I don't like my 2-dicked h-cup kitsune hermaphrodite tho
VikingWizardry
If you're enjoying a game then you aren't doing it wrong, even if you aren't playing it the way it was designed to play.
SekomuMasada
Hey man I do the same. Minus the porn it's actually really well written.
Veya
That's pretty much how I play, I was always horrorified when I got even a point of Corruption in CoC, and worked to get rid of it.

Upvoted for Kingdom of Loathing. I haven't played it in forever, but I got years of entertainment out of it.

Same. I still check out the Crimbo even every year, but man, I was hard core obsessed with this game from about 2004-2009

Kingdom of Loathing amazing for what it is, it feels like the kind of game that shouldn't work but does through sheer wit.

Yes. But I started as a Sauceror.

Agreed. What a great game.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
I heard about it because I was reading about a murderer cannibal who claimed it's his favorite game and played it during his free time.
nakedangel
Yeah, majority of players are disturbed though mot all cannibals.
pringlesyum
Used to play SSW, which was an offshoot. It's long defunct but the people were cool.
RunsWithShortShorts
I don't think I've played that game since... 2005? 2006? Lots of fun though, I was thinking about it the other day... +4 Nostalgia +3 Smarm
MrSlater
I was discouraged at how much content was essentially for paying users only. Sure they need to make a living, just wasn't fun for me
ProjectKurtz
I've been on hiatus from it since earlier this year. I should really start playing again...

If anyone wants to try it out, ask me. I think I still have a few million meat (currency) to help out new players.

Kingdom of Loathing was my shizzy until I had to look up how to do every quest

They're better about it these days. Hard puzzles will often have a second way of completing it, slower but easier, for the newbies.

Nope. I'm always surprised when I see other people who know about it, though.
alterego2765
I even went to a meetup or 2.
chinesefingerhut
That's awesome!
ReallyGoodBee
Not as good as it used to be. They reworked a lot of quests so you can just throw Adventures at them instead of actually having to think.
charonthehand
True, but there's almost always a shortcut if you do think. Options are good.
ReallyGoodBee
True, but it still bugs me. I mean, Twin Peaks is probably the best example. You're given an option that takes you to one of four
ReallyGoodBee
'cutscenes'. You need a specific item or effect to pass each one. However, after 50 adventures, you get a frigging "Skip puzzle" button.
charonthehand
It's a more flavorful "Burn the creepy hotel down" choice, but I see your point. The thing is, it allows the game to be as hard as the 1/2
WildSnarker
I dunno, back when I was playing it felt like they'd added an easy mode for lazy people but kept the hard mode for thinkers. Did it change?
ReallyGoodBee
Yeah, but that's not what I mean. What I mean is that in some quests, you're presented the puzzle, but if you take too long,
ReallyGoodBee
it gives you option to skip the puzzle and move on.
BigDaddyGrimm
They added challenge paths! You can play as Ed the Undying, and go after the adventurer who beat you in the regular quest 1/?
WildSnarker
I actually stopped playing in 2013, so I remember Avatar of Boris and Jarlsberg. Ed sounds awesome, though.
BigDaddyGrimm
Or the other avatars like Boris, Jarlsberg, or Sneaky Pete. There are other paths with different stories too. Worth coming back. Lo
BigDaddyGrimm
Look up your character using your email address if you forgot your name and password
qwerm
If you remember you account information, I would encourage you to check it out again; they've added so much content into the game now.
CwmMakesPeopleCryInScrabble
I GET SO CONFUSED NOW. There are more levels! More things! I feel like an out of place old timer.
creynolds722
Even when I played regularly I felt like I had to keep a guide open to get from ascension to ascension
grapesforducks
I remember my user name, but not the password or which email was associated with it; it's been probably 6 or 7 years
Gotooh
I tried getting my old account back that had the Mr. thing, it's not there any more
labratlet
I thought I lost items before but they were either in my closet or the case thing.
WildSnarker
Are you sure? They stopped deleting accounts for inactivity in 2009, and I'm pretty sure they always protected accounts that has Mr. Items.
Gotooh
I think I stopped playing back in 07 or so
ProjectKurtz
If you had a Mr. Accessory then it's definitely still there. Even when they deleted accounts they never deleted accounts with Mr. A's
WildSnarker
Anything since they started up with seasonal paths?
Buffelbek
This thread gives a good breakdown of new things: https://www.reddit.com/r/kol/comments/3ihgwm/overview_of_changes_over_the_years/
qwerm
Several world events, special IOTM charters that open up elementally themed zones among other things, depending on when you were last ingame
Ryebread91
What are iotm charters?
qwerm
ah, terribly sorry about the ambiguity; Items Of The Month- there were 5 such charters items you could get over the last 2 years that 1/2
ItsCandleJack
I played from 2004-2013, with only a couple hiatuses. Was a fun game, but got tired of botters in MMG.
qwerm
Yeah, don't play the MMG, that's a fools game anyway and is designed solely as a meatsink.
SirReginaldDukeOfChutney
What's new since I stopped playing in 2005? Lol
qwerm
Pretty much everything, really; ascension has been improved, so much stuff to do after the main quests; A blistering amount of content.
WildSnarker
The biggest thing is seasonal Ascension paths. Every three months they made a new option, like a vow of poverty or temporary new class.
