New iOS Game: Proteus - The Tower of Terror
It is a blast from the past. Something old is new again. Game description follows.
Can you defeat the Ruler of The Tower of Terror?
In this interactive Gamebook adventure, you are at the Academy of the Grand Wizard Eleutheria. You have learned a great deal of magic, of the power of
reason, and the martial arts. Now you yearn for a challenge.You have heard stories of the town of Darkblood, to the East, apparently ruled over by a great but very evil Wizard. The idea in your mind becomes more
exciting — to journey to Darkblood. You wonder what you will find there...You leave the hut as the sun rises, and look at the Tower ahead. It is a forbidding structure, and reminds you of a volcano. But you press on, determined,
pushing your way... until you reach the foot of the Tower. A stone archway is ahead of you, and beyond that is darkness. You take a torch from the wall.
Lighting it, you walk back, through the archway, into the Tower of Terror...FEATURES

"Proteus" was published in the late 1980’s as a periodical “complete solo adventure game magazine in which you play the role of the Hero”, originally by
IPC Magazine Ltd. and later by Wimborne Publishing. With a focus on Fantasy and Sci-Fi, each magazine’s story provided different rules and options. As stated in the magazine itself: PROTEUS was an ancient Greek God who could change his form to avoid foretelling the future, so you can see our scope for adventures is endless.Note
This app contains entirely optional In-App purchases not required to play. All of the original gamebook rules are reproduced faithfully without the need for any purchases. Additionally, you can disable In-App purchases entirely in your device settings.
Other than the map not being accessible, this app is worth trying out. In theory, you only need to purchase one bookmark from the shop. It took me several tries to complete the quest. Deaths occur often. It has some replay value but once you know how certain elements work, objectives will seem tedious. The music is pretty decent. The sound effects could be better. (Holy background hiss with several of them Batman.) Still, a pretty fun game overall.
