more novel than most novels

This deep, text-driven game engulfs you in a richly described world. In some ways it is the Platonic ideal of Choose Your Own Adventure, because you continually make choices that drive the narrative. However, there are random events, a rhythm driven by the seasons of the year, a complete fantasy culture. In other ways, it resembles FTL in that you have a long-term goal and no take-backs (in the overused inaccurate vernacular, it is "rogue-like"). It costs the same as a movie -- think of it as a deeper experience, even though it lacks the flash of special effects and animation. More novel than most novels, and worth the price.
