''Cyberqueen'' is a sci-fi/horror InteractiveFiction game by Creator/{{Porpentine}}. It begins with a well-worn trope: the protagonist wakes up from suspended animation in a starship. As she investigates her surroundings, it becomes clear that something is wrong aboard the ship. She is all alone.

Alone, that is, except for the [[MasterComputer Cyberqueen]].

While the game is controlled solely by clicking links in an all-text interface, it makes use of various effects, such as timed delays and judicious use of colour, to increase the atmosphere.
