Deathless: The City's Thirst

Like the other Gladstone Choice of Games game, I replay this every few years. I have a tough time picking a favourite. But I think the world of Dresediel Lex is tough to beat. Again, Gladstone writes in a spare, but beautiful style, and again you have choices and characters that intrigue you and draw you into their thankless world. I hope you enjoy this as much as I have.

Great story, compelling characters, tricky situations, lots of different outcomes, a real sense of moral ambiguity - and it's really well written too. Very much an interactive novel - the sort of story I'd want to read even if it was just straight text. Seriously, if you have even a passing interest in these sorts of games, you should invest in this.

I love books and I love video games and this combination was perfect for me! There's adventure, romance and personality in the choices you make. My character felt like me and I can't wait to get more endings to see what else can unfold. I definitely recommend purchasing this, you wont regret it.

Many different paths provide a lot of replayability, and the whole adventure is written well. Highly recommend this one.

Set in the World of the Craft Sequence, Gladstone builds an imaginative interactive experience for the player.

Yes. That aside, this was an interesting mix of the previous game. A good note that charm isn’t as flexible as it was in the previous game (I pretty much won with a maxed charm stat) so you actually have more importance in everything else.

Absolutely one of the best Choice Of...games I’ve played in a long time. Unique characters in a fascinating world tell a compelling story with numerous choices to make it your own. Highly recommended!

Max Gladstone is one of my favorite print authors. His Craft Sequence, of which this is a part, is a masterful exploration of humanity under capitalism. His writing makes this interactive fiction game an excellent experience. Check it out.

The first game was fantastic as a stand-alone game and a book tie-in. This has more flexible playability, and adds much to the backstory of the book series.

Though it might not be as popular as the other Choice games, it's my personal favorite. The story takes place in an unique and intriguing setting and time. There are multiple endings with various branching paths. I seriously recommend it!
