New Game

New Game! "Hunter: The Reckoning — The Beast of Glenkildove." is 25% off until Jan 23rd.

Full moon. Cold night. Dark shadow. Warm gun. The Beast of Glenkildove has stalked Ireland for centuries. Now, you must hunt it.

"Hunter: The Reckoning — The Beast of Glenkildove" is an interactive novel by William Brown, set in the World of Darkness. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

https://www.choiceofgames.com/hunter-the-reckoning/beast-of-glenkildove/

Eight years ago, when you were eighteen, the Beast of Glenkildove killed one of your closest friends. You've never returned to Ireland since that day.

It's difficult to remember what happened. As you'll soon learn, the human mind blots out the traumatic memories of facing a werewolf.

Now, you must stalk that werewolf across the shadowed glens and fogbound mountains of Ireland, hunting a shapeshifting killing machine with your friends, your wits, and a shotgun.

But you and your friends are not alone. You have entered a world of Hunters, humans who dare to challenge the dominion of the monsters who rule over them. Can you trust the fanatics of the Society of Leopold, the scholars and savants of the Arcanum, the ruthless Duffy crime family, or the enigmatic biotech company Fada?

Can you even trust your oldest friends?

Redemption for some. Retribution for others. A reckoning for all.

Hi everyone,

I have something to share about how Patreon subscribers will keep accessing exclusive content in the future. Starting very soon, I'll be introducing a new way to provide early access that ensures a more secure and fair experience for everyone who supports my work. This change will allow me to continue creating without unnecessary stress, while keeping content accessible for all.

Why this change?

Unfortunately, piracy has been a growing issue. My interactive fictions are always free, with early access available as a thank-you for my Patreon supporters. But lately, even this small gesture of support has been undermined by piracy.

Creating interactive fiction takes hours of daily effort, research, and creativity. Sharing my stories publicly is something I love to do, but piracy adds unnecessary stress to an already demanding process. I'm not EA or Valve—I'm not a big corporation that can shrug off the effects of piracy. At this point, I earn less than 20 cents for every hour of work I put into my interactive stories. Imagine earning so little for your hard work, only to see it taken and distributed without your permission—It's disheartening, frustrating, and ultimately unsustainable. It makes me feel devalued as a creator and disrespects the readers who contribute honestly in the first place.

If you've been sharing or downloading pirated copies of my work, I’d ask you to reconsider. I know sometimes it can seem like no harm is being done, but piracy takes away from the time and effort I put into creating these stories. What’s more, my stories always become completely free in less than 30 days. Stealing the early access version only hurts the person creating it—and there's no benefit to you. All you need to do is wait a little while to enjoy the same story, for free, as intended.

To put it bluntly: piracy sends a clear message that my time and effort aren't valued. If you steal from me, you're not a fan of my work; you have no respect for another struggling human being. If this continues, I'll have no choice but to rethink how—or if—I share my work publicly. I'm just a person like you, and I want to keep writing and sharing these stories with you, but only if it's a relationship built on trust and mutual respect.

To my supporters...

To those of you who support me through Patreon, reblog my Tumblr posts, or simply read and recommend my stories—you are the reason I keep going! Your kindness, encouragement, and honest engagement mean the world to me. You have nothing to be concerned about the new security measures I plan to test—these changes won't complicate your access but will help protect the development of the stories you love.

Thank you for understanding and standing by me! ♥

P.S.: If you are a fellow creator of interactive fiction, and you too have a similar problem, feel free to contact me here, on Discord, or even on Patreon if you prefer. I'd love to exchange ideas and put up a united front.

War Of Crowns- Prologue

War Of Crowns Step into the shadowy world of War Of Crowns, a gripping interactive fiction that blends the intrigue of political drama, the brutality of medieval warfare, and the enduring legacy of a fractured past. You are the illegitimate child of King Aldric the ruler of one of the seven kingdoms Ceryndor, marked by your half elven heritage and shunned by society. Born under a cloud of prejudice and tragedy, you are feared as the “Black Wolf” – an omen of misfortune and a harbinger of chaos.

Your 21st birthday brings no celebration, only a revelation that will send you spiraling into a dark web of murder, betrayal, and destiny. When the son of a wealthy trader is found dead, the fragile peace in your land begins to crumble. The investigation leads you to uncover secrets that could shake the foundations of the seven kingdoms. Will you embrace the tyranny they accuse you of, or will you rise above the scars of your past and forge your own path?

Ros-

Elena/Erik Rutherford

Elena/Erik is earnest, loyal, and idealistic. As a relatively new knight, she takes her duties seriously, striving to live up to the expectations of her house and her mentor, Knight Garrick. Beneath her brave exterior, Elena has moments of self-doubt, questioning whether she is ready for the challenges ahead. Her youthful spirit often clashes with the grim realities of her missions, but she finds solace in camaraderie and her unwavering sense of justice.

Rika

Rika is introspective, observant, and fiercely resilient. Though her voice was stolen long ago, she communicates with an eloquence that transcends words—through hand signs, expressions, and gestures. Her past has hardened her, but deep down, she carries a quiet hope for freedom and belonging. She is slow to trust but fiercely loyal once someone earns her faith.

Sharing my fav IF cuz it's not talked about enough. Please check it out!!

For Whose Majestyu (formerly Long Live the Emperor) is an interactive-fiction set in a fictional world inspired by ancient China during the Warring States period and some folklore in other eras. You move through the narrative as an agent of the (fictitious) Heng Emperor, who is losing influence over the kingdom as three vassal lords gain power over the years. Would you serve the Emperor loyally and help him re-establish imperial control? Or would you help someone else take the throne, perhaps even for yourself?

💀 CONTENT WARNINGS (sfw, but for ages 18+) 💀

violence inflicted on people and animals, potential suicide(s), misgendering, bodily functions such as bleeding or vomiting, psychological trauma, mental illness, topic of sex or sexual situations (non-graphical in description) in later chapters... (See longer list in the opening screen.)

Genre: low fantasy wuxia

Check out the demo here

I have been following up with this IF for a few years now (since it was first uploaded). It is one of my favs among many others. If you enjoy wuxia novel/dramas/manhua such as Three Kingdoms etc, you'll surely love the story. Who would pass the chance to be a badass as General?

To show my appreciation, I hope to share this awesome work to our fellow IF-readers because it is really not talked out enough. The update is not regular but you can tell the author toally put effort in writing each chapter. There are already 13 chapters out, so grab your beverage and enjoy.

Ps: Sorry, i suck at writing, but pls check out this awesome demo.

“As it was told by my fellow Stone Temple priests from the capital, there was only one favor that the Emperor asked the Golden Hero.” “And what could that be?” Simon asked impatiently. “That he would stay by his side and rule the Empire together as Imperial Princess Ann’s husband.” “And he refused that offer?” Simon frowned. “Was the Princess that ugly?” “Hold your tongue, boy,” the priest chuckled. “It is said that the 1st Imperial Princess, Ann Maralict, was the fairest in all the Empire, even now that 20 years have already passed.” “Then, why? He could have lived in plenty with a beautiful wife, he would still be the Golden Hero and had wanted for nothing more if he just accepted the Emperor’s offer!” “Then perhaps, he simply did not love the princess, as well as the kind of live that they offered.” Prince Simon frowned at the old priest. The old man simply smiled at him, his pale gray eyes mostly covered by his fluffy white brows. “Couldn’t he just try it out first?” Simon insisted, making the priest chuckle even more. “Do you know what the seven warriors fought for?” he asked the prince in return. “To be free of the tyrant’s rule!” Simon quickly replied. “Why then, would he be willing to give up this freedom?” the priest replied. “And could one simply ‘try’ a marriage out?”

Restore, Reflect, Retry

"Restore, Reflect, Retry." This is a haunted game about a haunted game. You've played this game before. You may not remember, but the game does.

Open the door. Enter the maze. Ignore the ghosts.

https://www.choiceofgames.com/restore-reflect-retry/

None of you remembers who first found the game: the black rectangular box with the small screen on which instructions appear. Of course it piqued your interest: this is the 1990s, after all, and there isn’t much for teenagers to do in your small town. Your friends were intrigued, and so were you. So you started to play. And play. And play.

What does it matter if no one remembers exactly how you discovered the game, or if the story changes ever so slightly each time you tell it? Or if you change ever so slightly too, every time you emerge into the real world once more?

All that matters is that you keep playing.

"Restore, Reflect, Retry" is an interactive fantasy novel by Natalia Theodoridou, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—90,000 words and hundreds of choices long, without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
