About this game

You direct two brothers who long guarded the secret to Victor Frankenstein’s resurrection technology... until the end of the Napoleonic Wars.

It is a raw, epic, bloody, story-driven blockbuster. You direct both Tom and Anton Clerval, through a branching, non-linear storyline set on the revolutionary France with a backdrop of hellish war with the soul of humanity at stake -and you decide if the brothers become allies, or enemies.

A compelling and powerful story where you will meet and interact with great historical characters such as Ada Lovelace, Napoleon Bonaparte… and more!

* You direct both Tom and Anton Clerval through a branching, non-linear storyline - and you decide if the brothers become allies, or enemies.
* Pit yourself against ever-shifting goals.
* Time is of the essence! Storylines and goals may be time-sensitive - the longer you take, the better prepared your opponents will be.
* Weather affects the game, not just for aesthetics but for the story (you know weather has changed the history in surprising ways).
* Direct whole battalions in narrated strategic battles.
* Original illustrations by Rafater.
* Immersive soundtrack with classical flavor (Cubus Games house brand).

SUMMARY:
Tom and Anton Clerval have long guarded the secret to Victor Frankenstein's resurrection technology. In revolutionary France, in 1827, that secret at last comes to light. The radical Zeroiste movement creates an army of the reanimated dead to seize control of the country, and then to cross the Channel to strike at the heart of the British Empire. Only Tom and Anton have the power to halt the Zeroistes - or to stoke the flames of all-out war. Decide the fate of the world in this enhanced interactive adventure in the same vein as classic gamebook series.

Incredibly original take on the old classic story. If you're a fan of "Choose your own adventure" or text-based games this game is excellent. Beautifully well written (you must forgive the occasional typo; given the scope of the project even the most ruthless critics should find it a challenge not to) as a massive fan of text games, I just love it. Inspired. Superb! C'est hyper-chouette!

Can't stand reading this. The way it's written is horrible. I don't think the author is even English. Punctuation is off, everything is too exaggerated and it's just not enjoyable or relaxing to read.

Thanks Layton for your feedback. The author, Paul Gresty, is English, and he's one of the most important IF writers in the world. You can try "Heavy Metal Thunder" and "Sol Invictus" instead. According to Touch Arcade review, these are a very solid gamebooks, with plenty to see and a zippy pace, told through some bizarre, entertaining writing. Best

Impressive writing, presentation, and sound. Similar in structure to Cubus Games' older gamebooks, but with more visual flair. Occasional timed sections are a little difficult for a slow reader, but the time allotment is generous enough that it isn't much of a concern and adds an unusual element of intensity to the choices. Fantastic work.
