Escape from Death

Escape Death's grasp and seize control of the Afterlife! In this 256,000-word interactive horror adventure novel by Tova Näslund, your spirit is trapped in a nightmarish realm ruled by the tyrannical Death. Navigate a world of political intrigue, soul magic, and horrifying creatures as you fight for survival and potentially, ultimate power.

This text-based adventure (no graphics or sound) unleashes the power of your imagination. Your physical body teeters between life and death, but your spirit is imprisoned. The Afterlife is a land of stark contrasts: the oppressed Penitents, twisted into grotesque hybrids, and the privileged Elect, living in luxury. A mysterious corruption deepens, with disappearances, attacks, and a spreading plague adding to the danger.

Your opportunity lies within the Clockwork Hall, the heart of the Afterlife. Amidst the chaos, you must choose your path: overthrow Death's reign, return to the living world, or claim the throne for yourself.

Key Features:

• Choose your identity: Play as male, female, or non-binary; gay, straight, or bisexual.
• Forge alliances: Romance a Penitent guide, a bird-woman revolutionary, a warrior, or an idealistic healer.
• Master soul magic: Peer beyond the veil between worlds, perceive the dreams of souls, and capture memories of the living.
• Shape the conflict: Ally with the Penitents, the Elect, or strive for acceptance from both.
• Influence the Afterlife: Work in the shadows, plant spies, build alliances, or engage in open conflict.
• Determine the ruler: Uphold Death's rule, install a new leader, or seize the throne yourself.

Can you escape the darkness and forge your own destiny?
