We’re proud to announce that Empyrean, the latest
in our popular “Choice of Games” line of multiple-choice interactive-fiction
games, is now available for Steam, iOS, and Android. It’s 33% off until
December 8th!
Overthrow your father’s regime with his own
secret experimental fighter plane! Dogfight dieselpunk aeros to save your city
and the iron jungle beneath it.
Empyrean is an interactive “flying ace” novel by
Kyle Marquis where your choices control the story. It’s entirely
text-based–325,000 words, without graphics or sound effects–and fueled by the
vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Far below the city of Actorius lies the
mysterious world of the Deep Tech–creatures and plants both living and
mechanical, and powered by unknown forces. Your father harvests the tech to
create experimental airships, and the Revolution that fights his every move
races to do the same. Your father’s aero, the Empyrean, is governed by Deep
Tech dynamics not even he understands.
Only you can fly the Empyrean, match wits against
ruthless oligarchs and devious spies, and take to the sky to fight your city’s
enemies. But who is the enemy? The Revolution, or the government they say is
corrupt? Foreign invaders, or the Deep Tech itself?
In a world of gleaming towers and downtrodden
laborers, streaking aeros and deadly rooftop duels, when you risk it all, the
sky’s the limit!
a.. Fly the Empyrean, the greatest aircraft
ever designed
b.. Play as a man, a woman, or nonbinary;
romance men or women.
c.. Explore the Deep Tech, a savage mechanical
ecosystem below your city.
d.. Conceal your true identity from your family
and the secret police.
e.. Befriend Wesh, a denizen of the Deep Tech
who is both human and machine
f.. Cross swords in top secret research
facilities, elegant cafés, and even atop airplanes in flight!
g.. Use the Deep Tech and your political
authority to improve and protect your city
h.. Side with the revolution, the government,
foreign powers, or the Deep Tech itself!
We hope you enjoy playing Empyrean. We encourage
you to tell your friends about it, and recommend the game on StumbleUpon,
Facebook, Twitter, and other sites. Don’t forget: our initial download rate
determines our ranking on the App Store. The more times you download in the
first week, the better our games will rank.
P.S. Heather Albano, author of Choice of
Broadsides, Affairs of the Court: Choice of Romance, Choice of Zombies, and A
Study in Steampunk: Choice by Gaslight is running a Kickstarter for her
"Keeping Time" trilogy of non-interactive steampunk time-travel novels. They
tell the story of a girl, a pocket watch, Frankenstein’s monster, the Battle of
Waterloo, and giant clockwork robots taking over London. Backers will get
access to the final book in the trilogy, Timebound, as soon as it's finished.
Heather is a great friend of Choice of Games and
we're all huge fans of her work. The Kickstarter fully funded just six hours
after it launched. Additional support will fund the development of more of
Heather's extraordinary writing. Support this Kickstarter today! Even if you
can't afford to back it, please share it with friends.
P.P.S. Our Choice of Games Contest for
