About the Story

An adventure by Jonathan Stark set in the world of Magnamund, created by Joe Dever. An online taster-adventure to promote the new gamebook trilogy Lone Wolf: The Huntress.

Enter the world of The Huntress series as a member of the Watchful Flame, a secret organization that investigates paranormal disturbances! Your adventure begins when you are sent by the head of the order to seek out a group of merchants who mysteriously disappeared in the jungles of Dessi. What you discover will reawaken a rivalry going back hundreds of years…

Shadows is playable entirely online and includes a dice roller, images, and music, allowing curious readers to immerse themselves in the world of Magnamund. With multiple characters to choose from, branching pathways, and over 80 sections, Shadows Over Fire is more than a taster – it is an adventure all its own, offering a different experience each time you play.

Ms. Lone Wolf, March 1, 2024

Well-written prelude to a new official Lone Wolf trilogy, the first ever written by someone other than Joe Dever. You have to keep track of the gamebook elements by yourself (it tells you when to add/remove inventory items, notes, and endurance points on your action chart, and provides a dice rolling button), which initially feels strange for a digital game, but makes sense given the physical gamebook series this Twine is promoting.

Set well before the events of the classic series, you play a female initiate of a holy order sent on a dangerous investigation into the vanishing of a family of merchants. It's filled with branching choices, providing plenty of replayability, and packs in a lot of intriguing worldbuilding in its relatively short play-time. My character limped to the finish with a barely any endurance points left: a sign of a well-balanced gamebook, generating drama and tension through both narrative and mechanics. Some nice background music and simple but evocative images round out an enjoyable package.
