WE WERE - An Interactive Novel Windows game

An Interactive Novel

We consider an interactive novel to be a combination of the best part of those old school text adventure games - lots of text and adventure - and the simplicity of the Choose Your Own Adventure books you grew up reading as a kid (unless you we're born in the 90s, then we're just aging ourselves)! Read through some prose, make a choice and watch your choices turn into consequences. WE WERE focuses on telling a deep, compelling story, making your choices feel like they have weight and making an emotional connection with the reader.

To top it all off, every type of reader is covered! We have some killer background music (which will change with every episode), we've got background artwork and even a few ambient sound effects. The only thing we're missing is 3D graphics and tessellation, and who needs those, right?

We're Not Lost, We Have a Roadmap and a Complete Storyline

Through a Prologue, which has already been completed and planned for a January 19 release date, six full episodes and an Epilogue, we're going to tell you the story of a race called the Y'tuk, whose homeworld was destroyed by the growth of its star. In each episode, players will jump into the first-person shoes of a different member of this alien race, starting with the literal dawn of their civilization and ending with its literal end. The fun thing is that these stories aren't set in stone. Using advanced technology and the tried-and-true method of alien abduction, the Y'tuk have created these virtual stories for you to play through, complete with branching storylines. Oh, and the choices you make will affect what happens in future episodes. Started society off on a bloody note? Well, don't expect the last episode to forget about it. It's probably going to beat you over the head with it.
