Description
Can you win fame, fortune, and romance as a playwright, before a deadly curse brings the curtain down for good?
"The Play's the Thing" is a 245,000-word interactive romantic fantasy novel by Jo Graham and Amy Griswold, best-selling authors of "Stronghold: A Hero's Fate" and "The Eagle's Heir." It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Become the official playwright at the Odeon, the most prestigious theater in Medaris. Here, high society gathers to gossip, frolic, and flirt. Dazzling special effects, enhanced by real magical enchantments, keep the audience in their seats. The plays you write have the power to manipulate public opinion, changing the course of history.
But as you're waiting for your first opening night, rumors begin flying. Deadly, shadowy creatures are stalking the city's streets. Mysterious accidents threaten your productions. It's a curse, people whisper—but only where the city's harsh ruler, the Raven, can't hear them. And to discover the roots of the curse, you'll have to dig deep into secrets that the city's nobles would prefer to stay safely buried.
The city's quarreling rulers have strong opinions about your theater, but they're also susceptible to its powers. Will you inspire them to save Medaris, or destroy it, as they destroy each other? Will you insinuate yourself into their hearts and minds? Will you expose their darkest secrets?
Will you write your way out of the tragedy that threatens your city, or call down the curse deliberately, carving your name in the annals of infamy?
• Play as male, female, or nonbinary; gay, straight, bisexual, aromantic, or asexual. • Win popular fame, critical acclaim, or royal favor and avoid scandalous exile. • Find love or lasting friendship with your actor buddy, the theater's acerbic director, a swashbuckling city guard, or the heir to the city. • Manage quarreling actors, skeptical critics, deadly enemies, and a dancing bear! • Uncover mysterious secrets from the Raven's past—and your own. • Battle dark creatures with enchantment, swordplay, or spectacular monologues. • Assassinate the city's tyrannical ruler, or win them over with your inspiring productions. • Use your fabulous wardrobe to play whatever role will win the day.

Pretty good. If you played Canon fire Concerto or that Broadway game then it'll feel pretty familiar. The romances sucked in my opinion, but the story was pretty cool. Being able to use magic for stage effects was a neat idea. Still, if let the characters were rather boring and the stakes seemed kind of silly. Pretty good though.

I always enjoy the story about the work beyond (or is it "behind"?) the screen/stage, like Broadway 1849 and Hollywood Visionary; this one delivers the theme well. The characters interactions especially when you pursue romance with them will flow more smoothly when you also get into certain route of dealing with the theater, but oh well romance wasn't the entire focus nor genre of this story so let it go, I guess :v

This the play game is dog shit don't download. It gives me viruses, and it has ads every time. I am very dislike this game so much I throw my iphone 6s with a 204 gpu processing speed with a 7.2x hacked heat control fan, color black, and it has a crack on the front of the screen out my dad's car window onto the hi way because this game is bad, and it makes me sad and my name is Brad, and I am not a Chad because this game is not glad, and it's very fad. Also, there is too much pórn on the game.
