Heavens' Revolution
Embark on a thrilling journey in the Persian steampunk empire of "Heavens' Revolution: A Lion Among the Cypress," an interactive retrofuturistic fantasy novel by Peter Adrian Behravesh. Inspired by eighteenth-century Iran, this text-based adventure spans 270,000 words and offers hundreds of choices, powered solely by your imagination. Will you harness your arcane alchemy to repair a khalicraft spaceship and escape to another world, or will you pilot a formidable mech into the heart of battle?
In the ancient city of Seyj, teetering on the edge of revolution, your skills in alchemy place you at the forefront of magic and technology. You can create gunpowder, design intricate machines, brew potions to combat the most severe diseases, and distill exquisite perfumes. With the lost art of astralchemy at your fingertips, the possibilities are endless.
Half a century ago, the She'ri Empire invaded Seyj, overthrowing the old ruler and occupying your planet. As a descendant of both She'ri colonists and ancient Seyj families, your loyalties are divided. You are required to serve in the Royalists' army, defending the satrap governor, yet the Revolutionists' protests grow louder each day, demanding the restoration of the old regime.
When the Revolutionists approach you, will you align with their quest for justice? Will you remain loyal to the satrap, fulfilling your duty as a soldier? Or will you engage in a perilous game, acting as a spy and manipulating both factions?
In "Heavens' Revolution," you can play as male, female, or nonbinary; gay, straight, bi, or asexual. Your journey allows you to master arcane astralchemy, craft powerful weapons, open your own workshop, or secure a professorship at the University. You may rise through the military ranks to command an army in defense of the satrap, or join the revolution to overthrow the usurper and restore the rightful ruler to the throne. Along the way, you might find love with a fellow soldier, a blacksmith-turned-rebel, or even a princess.
As you navigate this complex world, remember: the choices you make could lead you to gain the world, but at what cost to your soul?
