United StatesOverthrow 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!
• Fly the Empyrean, the greatest aircraft ever designed
• Play as a man, a woman, or nonbinary; romance men or women.
• Explore the Deep Tech, a savage mechanical ecosystem below your city.
• Conceal your true identity from your family and the secret police.
• Befriend Wesh, a denizen of the Deep Tech who is both human and machine
• Cross swords in top secret research facilities, elegant cafés, and even atop airplanes in flight!
• Use the Deep Tech and your political authority to improve and protect your city
• Side with the revolution, the government, foreign powers, or the Deep Tech itself!
How you gonna have no saves
definitely one of my favorites of this type of novels. the story is unique and i love the way the dogfights are explained and how the more important planes have their own ginmicks i also love the characters, usually in these books there's a character i hate interacting with but not in this one. each character is interesting and actually enjoyable to learn about. tottaly recommend
I didn't make it past the "filling out your information", I put other and then it asked me for too many details like, them their themselves and it kept going on, he/she/them/other should be minimum in 2022, not he/she/other. The story till that point was not great, I get the protagonist doesn't have a clear head and it's to make a characteristics sheet of some sort, but I'd rather fill in squares directly than that jumbled mess. Finally never got to really play to know how it really is.
It's an exciting read! The setting is rich, characters are interesting, some jarring story choices here and there, but overall enjoyable to play and replay through.
The story is great, though I must agree with folks who've stated that some choices are unclear about their stats. In particular, a bad choice at the very end can be lethal, and all I can suggest is to read the options *very* carefully. In retrospect, I think the selection I made first must have tested Tech, which wasn't what I expected. I ran thru it again quickly making the same choices but with a different choice at the end, which turned out to test a better stat for me (probably Cunning).
