Our take on Sordwin: The Evertree Saga
Rather than presenting adventure through visuals, Sordwin replaces the usual audiovisual format with a 440,000-word interactive narrative. Exploration, combat, romance, and investigation occur through written choices, while ignored options carry consequences alongside selected actions.
What is Sordwin: The Evertree Saga?
Sordwin: The Evertree Saga is a 440,000-word, text-only interactive experience set on an island under quarantine.
Players investigate a complicated request from a wealthy lord while deciding whether to assist frightened residents or prioritize the mission. The open-world structure gives consequences to both chosen and ignored options, with interactions producing reactions. Players can define a character's gender, sexual orientation, appearance, and personality. They can build friendships, rivalries, and romances, continue the story from Evertree Inn or begin as a new adventurer, and investigate locations such as a tavern, temple, and abandoned observatory. The game also includes weapons, spells, skills, and stealth or confrontational approaches to uncovering clues before darkness falls.
