About

In an 18th century symphony of intrigue, your supernatural virtuoso performance begins an overture to war! "Cannonfire Concerto" is a 190,000-word interactive novel by Caleb Wilson, where 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. You are the finest musician of the 18th century. Behind fans and opera glasses, audiences whisper that you are a bearer of Genius, a mysterious supernatural power to master your chosen instrument. At the brink of war, spies, generals, and royalty vie for control of the continent. Will you play them all like a fiddle? Who truly holds the strings? Play as male, female or non-binary; gay, straight, bi, or asexual. For some, romance is a means to an end. For some, it's a sonata duet of love and sex. Perhaps both. Will you and your Genius achieve immortality, or will the poisoned pens of critics slaughter your career? Will you overthrow the church, bringing forth a new era of enlightenment, or defend your kingdom from a secular invasion?

    If you're looking for some interactive fiction that has a fair bit of action but still feels like it's doing something fresh with its premise, Cannonfire Concerto is likely going to be your jam. It's interesting playing a less direct role than usual in a story like this, and I like that you're allowed to decide just how deep in the muck you want to be.
