About This Game

Five hunters have tracked the beast and failed. Now it's YOUR turn!

YOU are a hunter; a man or woman of wealth and leisure who has turned their time to hunting the fiendish monsters that assail humanity. One such horror is plaguing the city of Harrow's Gate. The last five hunters to search for it have all gone missing. You must find them and lay the monster low!

A choose your own adventure novel in which your choices and actions can lead you to glorious victory...or ignoble defeat. Explore an original story with three challenging game difficulties, unlock hidden lore to better understand the world you enter, and enjoy the artwork you discover in the gallery.

This independently produced novel features a dark soundtrack (with optional atmospherics) by Cryo Chamber, as well as over 40 unique page images to unlock.
The text of the game has also been recorded by a professional musician and story-teller, making it into an interactive audiobook. Featuring no battle-royale shenanigans and produced without 100-hour work weeks, Vile Philosophy is an old-fashioned, spine-chilling steampunk tale you can enjoy time and time again.

A wonderfully complex story that really does take me back to the choose-your-own-adventure books. Even after completing it, I'm sure there are more story lines to explore and other options I could have selected. I might even have been able to get a better ending. This idea of nontraditional storytelling is spectacular and I would love to see more of it. The only criticism I can think of is that it would be more engaging if the player were actually able to roll the dice during combat, rather than the game doing it automatically. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed playing this and will likely go through it again.

The voice-over for the Lady of Blades is oddly enticing. Jokes aside, this choose-your-own-adventure styled visual novel was an engaging playthrough.
