What is A Midsummer Night's Choice?
A Midsummer Night's Choice is a 190,000-word interactive fantasy novel set in a Shakespearean comedy adventure.
The player flees after the Duke, their father, tries to force a marriage, entering an enchanted forest in disguise. The story includes mistaken identities, fairy outlaws, a Faerie Queene, inexplicable bears, and possible romance. Choices control the story and can lead to roles such as jester, diplomat, knight, poet, shepherd, or member of the fairy court.
