About this game

Steam-powered mechs meet forbidden sorcery! "A Study in Steampunk: Choice by Gaslight" is an epic 277,000-word interactive mystery novel by Heather Albano, co-author of "Choice of Broadsides," "Choice of Zombies," and "Choice of Romance: Affairs of the Court." 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.

The game is afoot! In a world of gaslit streets, mysteriously long-lived foreign nobles, and master criminals, will you defend your Empire from spies or overthrow it from within? Advocate science and reason or learn forbidden magic? Romance men, women, both, or neither? End as a healer, a freedom fighter, a vigilante, or a traitor?

The fate of the Empire is in your hands!

Overall a fun game, though I found the romance options and world building both pretty lacking in the same way. There's a lot of interest for both but by the end of the game it felt like I'd hardly scratched the surface. In particular I really wished the relationship between the PC and Finch was explored more. What there was of them was excellent but I ended up feeling really bereft that that's all there was to it.

It was a very well done game that you just dont want it to end. Loved how you are able to switch sides if you wanted to get both sides of the story from working for the government or the resistance with spectacular twists and turns. Romancing could of been more in depth but it's a game of action and the romancing was still satisfying. Main reason for only 4 stars is that it felt a tad rushed at times but overall a fun story which I hope a sequel is on its way.

Another great CYOA story from Hosted games, I love the diversity of the choices that you can make and how different the plot turns out depending on your choices. The game has great replayability because of all of the achievements and various ends that you can have. The character developments and setting are well written and make you feel immersed in the author's world and the role you are presented with. I greatly enjoy this story and look forward to more interesting titles in the future. Thanks
