About The Eighth Continent
'The Eighth Continent' is an interactive novel in which you are the story's hero!
In a world devastated by a cataclysmic super-eruption, you must search for your lost family. Who should you trust? What dangers await you in the volcanic wasteland?
Scavenge, fight, hack, and trade your way through a ruined world.
Features:
- A branching storyline; make crucial choices and live with the consequences.
- Conditional choices, where your options may depend on the items in your inventory, your health or mental state, previously visited locations, your reputation with other characters, or even your wealth!
- A card-based fighting mini-game.
- A mini-game for hacking electronic locks.
- A mini-game where you scavenge for precious goods.
- Vendors to buy and sell.
- A decryption mini-game to decode secret records.
- An inventory of consumables and quest items for you to manage.
- Over 700 pages.
- Over 20 achievements.
- An automatic bookmark save system.
Suitable for adults and young adults alike, the book uses clean language throughout and contains mild fictional violence in the form of a card game. Although a standalone story, 'The Eighth Continent' is the first book of a trilogy; books two and three are already written, and will be released as apps soon.
The app is designed for both phones and tablets, and works in both landscape and portrait orientations.

User reviews
just played it again for the third time and it never fails to suck you in and fully immerse you in the story. My favourite game EVER!! I tried to find you guys on facebook so I can keep up to date with the hopefully third book, but this game didnt come up. Are you on facebook?
One can feel how much love and care the developer had for his game. I love this playbook so much and as an old realistic self defense practitioner, I had a blast with the "Street fighter deck" :) This book is touching, thrilling, well written and playing / reading it, became a daily routine on my way to work. I love...
I realy love this game. I am looking forward to its sequels.
This is a great little series, really fun to play, but when with the 3rd part be released??
I highly recommend this interactive book! I anxiously await the sequels!
Just played/read it for the 3rd time and it's still great. Nice mix of story and doing stuff, well written, lovely drawings. Going to play part 2 now, but still no part 3 :-( Any news about that? I really want to know how it ends.
