Sorcery! 3 Primed for Release

Inkle have announced Sorcery! 3 is close to release. This third part of the narrative adventure will be available soon on the App Store and Google Play.

Spun off from the Steve Jackson’s Sorcery! gamebooks of the 1980s, Sorcery! 3 is a narrative game with a massively branching, choice-driven storyline. With the city of Kharé at your back and the sacred Crown of Kings driving you forward, this penultimate chapter provides the most challenge yet as you attempt to cross the cruel, cursed wasteland of Kakhabad.

With rations dwindling and seven deadly serpents stalking you around the desert, only the most resourceful adventurers will survive. And with no set path to follow and time rippling like a flag on the wind, this adventure could lead you in circles or a thousand years into the past.

Sorcery! 3 includes:

  • A massive open world to explore. Plot your own path across two gorgeous 3D maps (present and past), shaping the narrative with every decision you make. Inspired by 80 Days’ world map, this new open-ended adventure takes players off the gamebook’s predefined course to make you the master of a completely non-linear adventure.
  • The passage of time. A dynamic day/night cycle and fluid travel between two distinct time periods set up a layered narrative with even more story to discover. Plus, the freedom to rewind time at will lets you see how alternate choices impact the story.
  • True choice-driven storytelling. The longest and most complex Sorcery! game so far includes thousands of branching story paths impacted not only by present choices, but also by the decisions you made in earlier games.

For the first time, Sorcery! will be out for both mobile platforms from Day 1 with the announcement of simultaneous release on iOS and Android. More details regarding the release of Sorcery! 3 will be available in April.
