Comments on A Study in Steampunk for Android

★★★★★ Efan Headford · Aug 23, 2018
I've played hundreds of these games over the years, both my Hosted Games and Choice Of Games llc (as well as a few others). And I can confidently say that this is by far one of the best of the genre I have ever played. The story is compelling, the world is immersive, the characters are interesting, but most of all the choices are meaningful. The game is also very well written, wirh superb descriptions that really do set the scene extremely well. I personally played the game in a short number of long sittings, as it was far too compelling to put down. However, subsequent walkthroughs have been in smaller chunks, and is a marvelous way to pass time. This is a game that definitely lends itself to multiple walkthroughs, and I would highly recommend to anyone. Regardless of whether you have any experience in this particular genre of games. It's worth every penny, and I have already recommended the game to everyone I know. Well done!
★★☆☆☆ Maya N · Feb 8, 2020
The story is okay, but quite limiting. At the end, your choices only matter with regards to how long the story would be, and you are stuck with the same ending anyway. The only alternative is to manage to "kill yourself" early by making the wrong choice, but you have to do this on purpose, as the plot is too linear. All in all, this is a mediocre story to read and, unfortunately, not worth the money.
★☆☆☆☆ Kate Richards · Apr 6, 2022
No gender choices in 2022 are just so disappointing. Forced to be a man because it's 1881 I guess. It's steam punk, basically science fantasy. Let me be who I want to be.

Description by Hosted Games Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Steam-powered mechs meet forbidden sorcery! "A Study in Steampunk: Choice by Gaslight" is an epic 277,000-word interactive mystery novel by Heather Albano, co-author of "Choice of Broadsides," "Choice of Zombies," and "Choice of Romance: Affairs of the Court." 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.

The game is afoot! In a world of gaslit streets, mysteriously long-lived foreign nobles, and master criminals, will you defend your Empire from spies or overthrow it from within? Advocate science and reason or learn forbidden magic? Romance men, women, both, or neither? End as a healer, a freedom fighter, a vigilante, or a traitor?

The fate of the Empire is in your hands!
