Aperçu du jeu
Choose your path as a heroic polymath librarian in 245 BCE Alexandria. Tutor prince Ptolemy IV, invent steam engine or save the Library of Alexandria.
Immerse yourself in a steam-powered adventure that offers a choice to preserve or sacrifice the ancient Library of Alexandria. In the interactive novella "Choice of Alexandria" by Kevin Gold, author of "Choice of Robots," the story unfolds with every decision you make. The game is entirely text-based, providing a unique and endlessly imaginative experience for the player.
Step into the shoes of a heroic polymath librarian living in the year 245 BCE. As an esteemed tutor to Prince Ptolemy IV, you're faced with important decisions, such as whether to coach him for the Olympics or persuade him to showcase his poetry and art instead. Alternatively, you could take a break from your tutelage and focus on groundbreaking scientific inventions with the help of Archimedes and Euclid. Discover concepts such as the germ theory of disease, robotic automata, and even the steam engine, thousands of years before anyone else thought of it.
Will you raid other libraries to elevate your own status? Will you protect the legacy of the empire or seek personal gain? Each decision will set the course of the future, affecting whether or not Ptolemy IV remains a hedonistic prince or becomes a wise and just ruler. But what will happen if you cross paths with the notorious pirate queen Nefertari? Will her silver tongue lead to your ransom or can you sway her?
Assume the role of a brilliant inventor, a gifted speaker, or a life-saving doctor to explore different paths in the game. Protect Ptolemy IV from the manipulative court influences, save the famed mathematicians Euclid and Archimedes, and experience the story based on the real-life events of Eratosthenes, who calculated the Earth's size.
Experience the thrill of making a difference in history in "Choice of Alexandria." Make your mark by saving the Great Library and completing inventive achievements two thousand years earlier than anyone else. The possibilities are limitless, and the power to change the course of history is entirely up to you.
