Temple of Endless Night

Temple of Endless Night might not be the biggest name in the choicescript universe, but it is easily one of my favorite fantasy choicescript games. With a unique and well-developed setting in ancient Egypt, along with a stat and character customization system which fleshes out the lore even more, there is plenty of interesting reading here.

The plot is initially straightforward, although it thickens eventually, as you join a caravan on a task to retrieve an item from a mysterious temple. Much of the entire plot comprises your journey to the temple, and the temple itself. Still, there is plenty of branching, different endings and replay value here, as well as major secrets for players willing to venture off the beaten path. I enjoyed most of the romances as well, with solid character writing and romance scenes.

The game itself isn't too difficult. Still, there are some difficult stat checks in the game, so careful character building may be important. The game also provides an optional item to give you an easier experience at the earlier parts.

Temple of Endless Night does the setting well, and presents a unique approach from the usual knights-and-castles fantasy fare. It is a game I have played and replayed multiple times, and one which I think is worth a look.
