"The Siege of Treboulain" is a captivating interactive fantasy novel that is 280,000 words long, developed by Jed Herne. The game is completely text-based, with no graphics or sound effects, but it is powered by your boundless imagination.

Treboulain is a city that thrives on arborturgy, the magic that governs plants and all things that grow. Following the recent death of your mother, the queen, you now sit on the Throne of Thorns, a nightmarish chair of royalty that extracts blood from those who dare to sit upon it.

As a merciless army of horse-riding warriors lay siege to the towering walls of your beloved city, what will you do? Will you lead the defense from atop the walls, inspiring your soldiers with your great martial strength and eloquent speeches? Will you direct the defense from afar, utilizing your sharp strategic mind? Or will you harness the boundless power of nature itself, throttling your enemies with barbed vines?

Will you choose to fill the moat with pitfalls, train elite magicians, or recruit mercenaries for an unexpected strike? How would you handle the deteriorating state of your resources? And when lethal conspiracies come to light, threatening to disrupt your reign and that of your kingdom, what will you do?
