Indie developer Liber Primus Games today announced that its handheld fantasy adventure app, Narborion Saga is available to download for free on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iTouch following on from its successful launch last month on Amazon Kindle, Android and Google Play.
Narborion Saga is an epic fantasy story that writes itself as you play. Written by award winning novelist Francis Hora and Dr Tom Pollak, a professional novelist and former editor of Dragon, the popular Dungeon’s and Dragon’s role playing game magazine. Narborion Saga aims to immerse readers into the world of an elaborate RPG fantasy, in the first of several stories planned in the Narborion Saga. Readers will rewrite the fate of the story’s hero through dynamic elements when the reader rolls virtual dice to decide the outcome of the story.
“We’re excited to be a part of the emerging digital gamebook scene and to be given the chance at introducing prospective readers to the Narborion Saga as a free to play handheld app,” said co-writer Dr Tom Pollak. “Simply install the app, roll the dice and begin a journey as a simple squire, who uncovers his heritage as the one true king, who must unite eight different kingdoms into one single empire”.
Traditional paperback gamebooks or CYOA (Choose Your Own Adventure) books as they were also called were popular during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s and have seen a digital revival of late. Narborion Saga intends to engage its community with ‘bard’ contests, inviting budding authors, poets and artists to share their creative talents on the games website.
