We are thrilled to announce that Spire, Surge, and Sea, by Stewart C. Baker is a finalist for Best Game Writing in the 61st Annual Nebula Awards and is on sale on all platforms for 30% off until March 22nd!

Spire, Surge, and Sea is a 380,000-word post-apocalyptic science fantasy novel by Stewart C. Baker. Amid the turbulent waves of the Worldsea stands Gigantea, the walled island city. It is the last haven of humanity, and the last remnant of the days before: before the gods grew jealous of humanity’s overreaching; before the king’s ancestors took up their burden of rule; before the gods sent the curse of the Rot to corrupt and destroy all of the rest of civilization. Only the king’s magic can sustain the fortifications that hold back the Rot.

To celebrate, we are also putting every previous Nebula Finalist game on sale:

The Ghost and the Golem

Restore, Reflect, Retry

The Bread Must Rise

Vampire: The Masquerade—Sins of the Sires

At our superhero academy, you'll lead a team of teen heroes to battle supervillains! Will you fulfill your heroic legacy or forge your own path?

https://www.choiceofgames.com/heroes-of-tomorrow

Heroes of Tomorrow: Hidden Potential is an interactive superpower novel by Eloy Lasanta, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based, 600,000 words and hundreds of choices, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Welcome to Evos Academy! As a member of the next generation of superheroes in a world where comic books record the deeds of real-life heroes, you don’t pass your classes by writing the correct answers on a paper; you do it by defeating a swarm of super-science automatons in front of a stadium full of cheering fans.

Develop your powers, practice working as a team with your classmates, and develop your own distinctive style while you learn from the greatest heroes that Earth has ever seen: valiant Gladiator, super-gadgeteer Gearhead…

…and, oh yeah, your mom.

Hardly anyone knows that you grew up as the sidekick to your mother, the famed hero known as The Cloak, keeping your gritty metropolis safe from the world's worst villains. Some of your classmates are grappling with a legacy of power, too: Paragon's father is the mighty hero Brilliant, and Red Claw's mother is the villain Destroya. Each of you must choose what kind of hero you want to be. Do you want to be like your heroic parents, or do you want to blaze your own trail?

hey besties… currently shelving books and lowkey hiding behind the fiction section so I can sip my peppermint white mocha latte in peace ☕💖 anyone else out here feeling like a teen or tween in a 2000s time capsule but also very much a full-time adult???

today’s uniform: comfy oversized camo hoodie, scrunchie in my hair, and sneakers bc gotta be ready to sprint after the noisy kids 🏃‍♀️💨 also lowkey coloring while were slow bc artistry is life ✏️💞

current mood: 👑📖 whispering dramatic thoughts to myself between the stacks and pretending the overdue notices are just gentle suggestions 😎✨

Looking for something to do during your holiday travels? Well, look no further! Check out our newest game: An Imp and an Impostor! On sale for 38% off until Dec 3rd.

An Imp and an Impostor is an interactive historical urban fantasy novel by Athar Fikry, author of The Dragon and the Djinn, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based, 600,000 words and hundreds of choices, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

https://www.choiceofgames.com/imp-and-impostor/

You're an imp, a creature from another plane of existence. As punishment for your past misdeeds, a powerful magical being known as "the Mercy" has ripped away your magic, forcing you to live as a human in the city of Raqout. Raqout is a "port" city between our world and other dimensions, a city where everyone has their secrets.

It's taken years, but you've managed to weasel your way into Arkan, Raqout's magical law-enforcement organization. As an Arkan agent, you spend your days busting unlicensed necromancers and negotiating with afareet and djinn. Your by-the-book partner doesn't know who you really are—or that your nose for crime is actually a nose for magic.

Your magic was confiscated when you were arrested, but you've regained enough to put you above most humans. And of course, you've got talsama, the magic that all humans can use; not to mention your wits, gadgets, and all of the inside knowledge about Arkan that you’ve learned.

Out Wednesday, Nov 26th!
