Our take on The Aegis Saga
The clearest bounce point is the presentation: the story is entirely text, with no graphics or sound effects. Players who need visual scenes or audio to stay engaged may stop once they reach the novel's reading-based format.
What is The Aegis Saga?
The Aegis Saga is a 280,000-word, text-only fantasy novel with no graphics or sound effects.
Players choose a male or female human, or an ungendered turan, and make decisions that affect the story. The setting follows humans fighting over resources while a magical blight spreads, and turans deciding whether to resist, leave for the stars, or perish. The story also includes a human child tied to the fate of both races. Players can ride a feaclaw through a hostile city, learn magic that can affect them, build relationships, and see personality change through character development. The game allows rereading a missed page or skipping ahead on a later read-through.
