The King of Shreds and Patches
The King of Shreds and Patches is a novel-length work of interactive fiction in which your choices control how successfully you navigate the story.
As the main character, you will explore a historically accurate recreation of Elizabethan London, circa 1603, interact with some fascinating characters both historical and fictional, and thwart an occult conspiracy that threatens to bring down the entire city -- or worse.
You receive a note from your old acquaintance John Croft. You expect nothing but an evening of good food and drink and tall tales. Instead, you quickly find yourself plunged into a conspiracy of black magic that involves some of the most powerful and important men in London - and possibly even someone else, someone much closer to your own heart.
Interact with XVII-century London by typing simple commands like "Go to London Bridge", "Examine the note" or "Ask the bartender about the play". An elaborate hint system reveals as many clues as you desire to solve the story without spoiling the fun.
Lovers of mysteries, horror, adventure games, and puzzles alike will play the role of the protagonist, experiencing the story from the inside.

October 1, 2011Thus far it is so rad. It definitely keeps my interest piqued, and it's really something else to be so involved in what happens in the book. When I was first told about the book I thought and hoped it was going to be like a "choose your own adventure" story, but for your kindle. I'm not even that far in, and already it has completely exceeded my expectations. I would recommend it to anyone with a kindle, even if just for the experience!
