Huh? Inform 7, the primary authoring tool for interactive fiction, can compile games to a a static webpage out-of-the-box. It's had this capability for years.

Andrew Plotkin, featured in this submission, wrote the Quixe interpreter [0] for this purpose, which is bundled into Inform 7.

The Interactive Fiction Database [1] has—again, for years—an instant "Play Online" button on the listing of any supported game, powered by Parchment [2], which is even older than Quixe.

You must not have checked very thoroughly.
