The Last Monster Master -- Will your monsters save the world, or destroy it?

SAN FRANCISCO--December 22nd, 2014: Choice of Games announced today that "The Last Monster Master," the latest in their popular line of multiple-choice interactive-fiction games, is now available on iOS, Android, and, via the Chrome Web Store, Windows, OS X, and Linux.

Will your monsters save the world, or destroy it? As a Monster Master, you'll telepathically train wild monsters to be treasure guardians, royal pets, or giant stone masons. As war breaks out with the kingdom to the north, will you train monsters to be vicious soldiers and mindless power generators?

"The Last Monster Master" is an epic 250,000-word interactive fantasy novel by Ben Serviss, 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.

For example, when one of your more timid monsters starts to fail during combat training, what will you do?

A) Tell the monsters to go easier on him. He's not ready for this yet.
B) Keep him going at the same pace. He's got to get over his fears before he can make progress.
C) Push him even harder! He's got potential just waiting to be unleashed.
D) Read his mind.

How you care for your monsters will determine their fate--and yours--as the your kingdom faces a grave threat. Can you discipline your monsters with gentle compassion, or will you use cruel punishments to bring them in line? Will you lead your monsters to victory and prosperity? Or will you go down in history as the last Monster Master?
