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.

Tu magia puede cambiar el mundo, pero ¿a qué precio? Combate dragones, gavilanes y malvados inquisidores, mientras proteges tu patria, la conquistas o la destruyas para siempre.

"Choice of Magics" es una novela de fantasía post-apocalíptica interactiva de 550,000 palabras de Kevin Gold, autor de nuestro juego best-seller, "Choice of Robots". Está completamente basado en texto, sin gráficos ni efectos de sonido, y alimentado por el poder inmenso e imparable de tu imaginación.

Hace miles de años, los antiguos destruyeron la civilización con cinco escuelas de magia. Cada hechizo tiene un precio terrible. Glamour encanta a tus adversarios, pudriendo tu cuerpo desde adentro. La adivinación revela secretos lejanos, exponiendo tus propios secretos a otros. La automatización les da a los objetos la chispa de la vida, desestabilizando el clima. La vivomancia puede sanar o cambiar a los seres vivos, con efectos secundarios extraños. Explosión a tus enemigos con energía de Negación, formando nubes permanentes de lluvia mortal.

Como un joven scrounger de antigüedades, esperas reconstruir tu mundo arruinado de nuevo con estos hechizos redescubiertos. Ahora debes decidir cuál de estas magias puede transformar tu sociedad post-apocalíptica, y lo que arriesgarás para llevar esperanza y luz a tus parientes.
