About The Saga of Oedipus Rex

Your name is Oedipus, Prince of Corinth: And you've just discovered your future has been cursed by the gods themselves. Travel back to a time of magic and monsters in ancient Greece. Can you successfully fight to free yourself? Or will you succumb to the fate that was prophesied?

"The Saga of Oedipus Rex" is an epic 100,000 word interactive fantasy novel by Jac Colvin, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

• Play as Prince Oedipus, heir to the rulership of Corinth.
• Test your wits against the Sphinx.
• Immerse yourself in ancient Greek life.
• Remain in the country of your birth, or travel afar to Egypt.
• Will you appeal to the gods, challenge their decisions, or let fate run its course?
• With 8 distinct endings: Will you follow the future that has been prophesied or find your own way?

I like this kind of alternative stories, and the author did a good job to add a bunch of endings different to the original which really gave you the sense of escaping fate. The writing style is enjoyable - I normally prefer CoGs with 200k words or more but this game manages to make you content with what it offers.
