SAN FRANCISCO--Nov 6, 2015: Choice of Games announced today that "Diabolical," the latest in their popular line of multiple-choice interactive-fiction games, is now available on Steam, iOS, and Android. It's 25% off until November 13.
Start practicing your evil laugh! As the world's greatest criminal mastermind, choose a lair, hire a minion, and steal the world's largest ball of aluminum foil! (Or, destroy the world. FINE.)
"Diabolical" is a 130,000-word interactive novel by Nick Aires, where 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.
Famous, feared, or filthy rich--why not all three? You've got the money and the motives to build an evil empire worthy of the most ruthless villain the world has ever seen. Crush the good guys and terrorize the populace! Stamp a big red "FAIL" on your enemies' foreheads! Plunder your way to world domination--or sit back and pet your kitty while your henchmen do it for you.
For example, how will you make sure the world remembers your first major bank heist?
A) Kill one of the guards--they signed up for this, didn't they?
B) Show off your power with one of your custom accessories, like a smoke bomb or force glove.
C) Give an evil laugh to paralyze the customers with fear.
Will you be a high-tech daredevil, a ruthless military soldier, or an apparition terrifying to behold? What calling card will you leave at the scene of your crimes? Whatever your choices, the results will be diabolical.
