What is a book-game?
A book-game is an adventure story, the plot of which develops in accordance with the will of its reader. In the moment when it is necessary to take a decision, the author asks his reader's opinion. That's why the book consists of numerated paragraphs; in the major part of them the reader is offered a choice. For example, if you decide to fight against your enemy, you should take the paragraph 423, if you prefer peaceful negotiations, go to 219.
What is a book-game on a CD-ROM?
It is a normal computer game that keeps all the advantages of the books-games and tries to get rid of all of their disadvantages. All that you had to do before on a sheet of paper (diary, financial calculations etc.) will be automatically executed by the PC. All that depended on the results of throwing a cube (creation and control of parameters, the fight etc.) will be also done by the PC stochastically.
On each of the screens you will see one or more references that you may follow. The plot of the game will change according to what you have chosen. Thereby, not only the same episodes may be passed in different ways according to your wishes. We promise that even if you finish the game and even win it, there will be enough places for you that are worth visiting!
