SAN FRANCISCO--April 22, 2016: Choice of Games announced today that "The Sea Eternal," 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 April 29th.
In the enchanted underwater City of Glass, what will you sacrifice for immortality? Love, memories, freedom? Will you take freedom from others to win your heart's desire? Dive into a world of mermaids, mermen, and other merfolk, where every character has secrets, and nothing is what it seems!
"The Sea Eternal" is an epic interactive fantasy novel by Lynnea Glasser, author of "Creatures Such as We" and "Coloratura," winner of the 2013 Interactive Fiction Competition and numerous XYZZY awards. Your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based--283,000 words, without graphics or sound effects--and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
The whales have granted the merfolk eternal life, and asked you for so little in return. Defense against the giant squid. Secrecy from humans. But when a rogue mermaid tries to destroy the gift of immortality, ancient secrets rise from the depths, and the delicate balance of society rests in your hands.
For example, when the giant-squid hive-mind collective attacks a pod of whales, you and the other Everwarden merfolk are duty-bound to defend them. Armed only with a trident against countless giant squid, how will you aid the cause?
A) Focus on defending my fellow merfolk.
B) Focus on defending the whales.
C) Focus on attacking the giant squid.
Will you fight to protect your immortality, or surrender it for a higher cause? Will you choose sides in the neverending war between the whales and the giant squid? Will your undying love save the City of Glass, or destroy it?
