Hosted Games is happy to announce that Scarlet Sails, by Felicity Banks, is now available on Steam for the first time ever!
To celebrate, you can buy Scarlet Sails for 25% off on all platforms until May 8th.
Hoist the Jolly Roger and set sail to find the legendary Titan’s Treasure! Do you fight with a cutlass or with magic? Are you biding your time until you can shoot your captain in the back, or are you the reason the rum is gone?
Scarlet Sails is an 80,000-word interactive novel by Felicity Banks, author of Attack of the Clockwork Army and Bali B & B. Your choices control the story. It’s entirely text-based–without graphics or sound effects–and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
• Enjoy an adventure on the high seas.
• Choose your personality, fighting style, and magical skill.
• Play as male or female or nonbinary; gay, straight, or asexual.
• Choose who to love, including options for singlehood or polyamory.
• Face the horrors of your past—and of the deep.
• Find treasure, treachery, and maybe even true love.
Felicity developed this game using ChoiceScript, a simple programming language for writing multiple-choice interactive novels like these. Writing games with ChoiceScript is easy and fun, even for authors with no programming experience. Write your own game and Hosted Games will publish it for you, giving you a share of the revenue your game produces.
Congratulations, @Felicity_Banks!
I always wanted to try it out, so this is a great opportunity.
Nice that more fames are getting Steam releases and becoming more accessible to new readers.
I remember when Scarlet Sails was in the IF Comp! Lovely to see it on Steam years later!
I’m so excited!
Good to see you here! I hoped you’d drop by.
