Thanks to my wonderful editors, Adam Strong-Morse, Rebecca Slitt, and Jason Stevan Hill, who all worked hard to make this game a success. My writer's group, Spacecrafts, deserves a round of applause for reaching outside their comfort zone to critique my game. Special thanks to Wynter Snow, computer tutor and copyeditor extraordinaire, who got me started and helped me finish. Above all, this game exists because of my husband Vitaly and both sets of grandparents, who watched the kids so I could write. Love and thanks to my family!
Choice of Games is the world's largest publishing house for interactive novels. Our award-winning games are entirely text-based—hundreds of thousands of words and hundreds of choices, without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination. Choose your path: your choices control the story.
Since 2009, we've published more than 150 interactive novels on Steam, web, and our "Choice of Games" app for iPhone and Android, including multiple nominees for the SFWA Nebula Award. We publish more than a dozen games a year, and we continue to expand our back catalog of older games, which we make available for free to all readers.
Using ChoiceScript, the scripting language we've created for developing interactive novels, an individual author can write a full-length branching narrative, hundreds of thousands of words long, all in a single voice, under one creative vision. A player might read around 20% of those words on one playthrough, ensuring that our games remain fresh each time you play.
