You can play several games at the same time in separate windows. Your position is always autosaved; when you launch a game, your last play session will automatically be resumed.\n\nLectrote currently supports:\n\n- [Glulx][] games (`.ulx` or `.gblorb`), as produced by [Inform 7][i7].\n- [Z-code][] games (`.z3/.z4/.z5/.z8` or `.zblorb`), as produced by [Inform 7][i7] or earlier versions of Inform.\n- [Hugo][] games (`.hex`).\n- [TADS2 and TADS3][tads] games (`.gam`, `.t3`).\n- [Adrift 4][adrift4] games (`.taf`).\n- [Ink][] compiled game files (`.json`), as produced by the [Ink][] scripting language.\n\n[i7]: http://inform7.com/\n[Glulx]: https://eblong.com/zarf/glulx/\n[Hugo]: http://www.generalcoffee.com/hugo/gethugo.html\n[Ink]: https://www.inklestudios.com/ink\n[tads]: https://tads.org/\n[adrift4]: https://www.adrift.co/\n[Z-code]: https://inform-fiction.org/zmachine/standards/z1point1\n\nYou can also use this package to construct a \"bound game\" -- an app which plays a single built-in game. This is a package containing Chromium, the interpreter, your game file, and perhaps some additional configuration. You can distribute this as a standalone game application; it\u0027s bulky but it lets people play your game.\n\nLinux note: Depending on your Linux configuration and how you install this package, you may have to add the `--no-sandbox` option when launching Lectrote.\n\n## Glulx (Inform 7) support\n\nBecause this relies on the [Quixe][] interpreter, sound is n",
