The Master of the Land

by Pseudavid profile

Fantasy
2018

About the Story

Parties, power, paranoia, ghosts and dancers in the early 19th century Mediterranean. Roam freely, explore and get involved in a maze of stories with dynamic text.

The best festival in the year. All around Irene, political intrigues, social unrest and her own goal. Will she share the table with the rich or the poor? Will she understand the truth about her world, a precarious city in the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars? Will she get involved, or will she just lay back, enjoy the party and dance with the people wearing skulls?

(The game can be played on mobile but a PC or a large tablet is recommended for best experience.)

Heterogeneous Tasks

This is an odd and audacious thing. There is a great deal going on here; it’s a story about the personal and the political, about the failures of liberal politics. I like a lot of the things it’s aiming for, and sometimes it hits them. At the same time, it’s got its share of problems.

McT's Interactive Fiction Reviews

I’ve never seen anything quite like this. It really takes choice based implementations to that next level. It creates a seemingly dynamic world, gives the player complete agency within that world and then says ‘go’. It is an important game, this.
