Our take on Wraiths of SENTINEL
Readers who need visual or audio feedback will hit the wall immediately: the game presents its 250,000-word story entirely through text. Players wanting combat-driven control may also stall when choices, investigations, and supernatural abilities carry the interaction instead.
What is Wraiths of SENTINEL?
Play as a near-amnesiac wraith recruited by SENTINEL, a secretive government intelligence agency.
Investigate the No-State Separatists alongside two other wraiths, field operatives, and technical equipment while uncovering political corruption and paranormal connections.

The interactive novel includes romance with a wraith, sorcerer, medium, or combination of them. Character identity options include male, female, nonbinary, and several sexual orientations. The story is entirely text-based, with a stated length of 250,000 words and no graphics or sound effects.
