About this game

Welcome to ​Lux, City of Secrets,​ the third book in​ The Evertree Saga!​

It's time to make a name for yourself in the city of Lux. In this first half of a two-part epic, you will discover a vibrant and dynamic metropolis full of mysteries. Meet and mingle with characters old and new, uncover clues and solve cases, wield weapons and magic, and rise to the top before the city drags you under!

Lux, City of Secrets​ is a 438,000 word immersive interactive experience by Thom Baylay. It’s entirely text-based--without graphics or sound effects--and fueled by the vast unstoppable power of your imagination.

The mayor of Lux believes someone is trying to kill him, and he has chosen you to save his life. But protecting the Luxican aristocracy is not your only priority. Will you be able to balance the responsibilities of life in the big city or will you be swallowed up by an unforgiving urban jungle? Will you prioritize your friends, your reputation, your career? In an open world where, more than ever, the choices you ignore matter as much as the ones you explore, you will need to choose carefully if you are to survive.

Reunite with old friends and enemies, continue to build the relationships you started in​ Evertree Inn​ and​ Sordwin​, or abandon it all in pursuit of something new. It's time to find out if you have what it takes to uncover the mysteries of ​Lux, City of Secrets!​

• Play as male, female or non-binary.
• Play as gay, straight, bisexual or asexual.
• Continue a story started in Evertree Inn/Sordwin or play as a brand new adventurer.

The writing quality is great as always, and the characters feel alive. It is a part of a 2-part series, so the story felt a little shorter than previous books by the author, though it makes up for it in variety of adventures and choices. Each profession you choose offers a unique sub-adventure, which I thought was neat, though also daunting since there's a lot to choose from. (Not sure if some overlap though) Overall, great game and definitely looking forward for the next installment.

Very important to note this is PART ONE, not a standalone like the past two entries. Some of what gets started isn't resolved (yet). You have to pick & choose what to do in a playthrough, but that means there's plenty to explore. Feels *a little* hurried. But! Once again, the author does quite a good job balancing stat checks & intrigue. I was pleased with the way imported characters are handled & their past actions addressed. Excited for the next entry! Highly recommend the entire series!

Please keep in mind that this book is part 1 of a 2-part storyline, so most major questions will be left unanswered. It serves as a decent introduction to Lux and some of the major issues that the protagonist will have to deal with in part 2, but because of that, you're more or less spending $7 for setup. I've always been a fan of the Evertree series and will be looking forward to it's next installment... But this is currently the weakest book solely due to its purpose as setup.
