For starters, it isn't really a game in the traditional sense, more like a choose your own adventure produced for modern, Kindle-enabled devices. Then there's the nature of the story, where discussing even a few of the details can spoil whole bits of the experience.

The game was first released in 1997 where, despite being an amazing interactive experience, it failed to gain much commercial traction.
