Choice of Magics

Your magic can change the world, but at what cost? Battle dragons, skyships, and evil Inquisitors, as you protect your homeland, conquer it, or destroy it forever.

"Choice of Magics" is a 550,000-word interactive, post-apocalyptic fantasy novel by Kevin Gold, author of our best-selling game, "Choice of Robots." It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Thousands of years ago, the ancients destroyed civilization with five schools of magic. Each spell comes at a terrible price. Glamor charms your adversaries, rotting your body from the inside. Divination reveals faraway secrets, exposing your own secrets to others. Automation gives objects the spark of life, destabilizing the climate. Vivomancy can heal or change living things, with bizarre side effects. Blast your enemies with Negation energy, forming permanent clouds of deadly fallout.

As a young scrounger of antiquities, you hope to build your ruined world anew with these rediscovered spells. Now you must decide which of these magics can transform your post-apocalyptic society, and what you'll risk to bring hope and light to your kinsmen.

• Play as male, female, or non-binary; straight, gay, bi, or ace.

• Design your own pet, hatch a baby dragon, and build your own golems.

• Win a war, win the crown, or win your best friend's heart.

• Transform an evil Inquisitor into a talking tortoise, out for revenge. (Eventually.)

• Collect magic items: rings of power, an alchemy set, a “light sword” (wink, wink)

• Romance your village's geeky mayor, a goofy swordfighter, or even the queen.

• Help a stuffed monkey to repaint all of the murals in the Cathedral dungeon.

• Test out the mayor's new board game.

• With over 30 different endings, and 100 achievements, there will always be another secret to uncover.

Can you bring the world back from ruin and shape a new society? Use your magics well, and you could become as a god; use your magics poorly and destroy the world all over again.

Keajaiban kamu dapat mengubah dunia, tetapi pada apa harganya? Serangan naga, skyship, dan Inquisitors yang kejam, semasa anda melindungi tanah air anda, menaklukkannya, atau memusnahkannya selama-lamanya.

"Pilihan Magics" adalah novel fantasi pasca apokaliptik yang mengandungi 550,000 perkataan oleh Kevin Gold, pengarang permainan terlaris kami, "Pilihan Robot." Ia sepenuhnya berasaskan teks, tanpa grafik atau kesan bunyi, dan didorong oleh daya imaginasi yang besar dan tidak boleh dihalang.

Beribu-ribu tahun yang lalu, orang-orang kuno menghancurkan tamadun dengan lima sekolah sihir. Setiap ejaan datang pada harga yang sangat mengerikan. Glamour menawan musuh anda, membusuk badan anda dari dalam. Ramalan mendedahkan rahsia jauh, mendedahkan rahsia anda kepada orang lain. Automasi memberikan objek percikan kehidupan, menjejaskan iklim. Vivomancy boleh menyembuhkan atau mengubah benda hidup, dengan kesan sampingan yang luar biasa. Letakkan musuh-musuh anda dengan tenaga Negation, membentuk awan kekal dari kejatuhan maut.

Sebagai peninggalan zaman kuno, anda berharap dapat membina semula dunia anda yang hancur dengan mantra yang ditemui semula. Sekarang, anda mesti memutuskan mana antara sihir ini boleh mengubah masyarakat pasca apokaliptik anda, dan apa yang anda akan berisiko membawa harapan dan cahaya kepada saudara-saudara anda.

• Mainkan sebagai lelaki, perempuan, atau bukan binari; lurus, gay, bi, atau ace.

• Reka bentuk haiwan peliharaan anda sendiri, menetas naga bayi, dan membina golem anda sendiri.

• Memenangi perang, memenangi mahkota, atau memenangi hati sahabat baik anda.

• Mengubah Pengintaian jahat ke dalam kura-kura bercakap, keluar untuk membalas dendam. (Akhirnya.)

• Kumpulkan barangan sihir: cincin kuasa, set alkimia, "pedang ringan" (mengenyit, mengenyit)

• Romantik Datuk Bandar geeky kampung anda, pedang pedang bodoh, atau bahkan ratu.

• Membantu monyet boneka untuk mengecat semula semua mural di penjara bawah tanah Katedral.

• Uji permainan papan baru datuk bandar.

• Dengan lebih daripada 30 pengakhiran yang berbeza, dan 100 pencapaian, akan ada rahsia lagi untuk dijumpai.

Bolehkah anda membawa dunia kembali dari kehancuran dan membentuk masyarakat baru? Gunakan magik anda dengan baik, dan anda boleh menjadi seperti tuhan; gunakan sihir anda dengan buruk dan hancurkan dunia sekali lagi.
