I stumbled upon With Those We Love Alive looking for a good game to introduce a friend to Twine, but ended up playing through the game. The pacing was incredible, unlike other interactive fiction games I've experienced. The story at times made my stomach hurt, but writing was so unreal I couldn't stop myself from taking another step in the story. The soundtrack was unexpected, but helped draw me in as the story unfolded.
