Our take on DinoKnights
Its defining format is a 177,000-word interactive novel presented entirely through text, with story direction determined by player choices rather than graphics or sound.
What is DinoKnights?
DinoKnights is a 177,000-word, text-based interactive fantasy novel set in Pascalia.
Players join Queen Isobel’s Rangers, patrol the kingdom on a dinosaur, and decide how to respond to threats including a wizard raising undead dragons and a possible palace coup. Choices shape the story, relationships, magical development, and the fate of the player’s home village. The protagonist can be male, female, or non-binary, with gay, straight, or ace romance options. Six dinosaurs are available as steeds, including an allosaurus, triceratops, and velociraptor. Activities range from training with a dinosaur to courting nobles and mages, entering royal tournaments, defending peasants, or supporting the coup.
