FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sep 25, 2012 - Choice of Games today announced that "Choice of the Star Captain," the latest in their popular line of multiple-choice interactive-fiction games, is now available for Kindle, iOS, Android, and, via the Chrome Web Store, Windows, OS X, and Linux.

Fight on the front lines of the war between humanity and the hideous Blobs. (Not that anyone has actually seen a Blob up close, but everyone knows they have tentacles. Surely they're hideous!) Go on stealth missions, run alien blockades, and investigate mysterious planets, "aided" by Lloyd, your insufferably obnoxious shipboard computer.

Choice of the Star Captain is a hilarious interactive science-fiction novel where your choices determine how the story proceeds. The game is entirely text-based--without graphics or sound effects--but powered by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

For example, suppose Lloyd has just informed you that your ship will crash land on the jungle moon of Cygnus Delta in 93 seconds. What will you do?

A) Call upon your elite piloting skills to escape the moon's gravity well.
B) Invite Lloyd to land the ship himself, if he's so smart.
C) Make the prudent choice, and try landing on the moon's surface instead of attempting a risky escape.
D) Spend the last 93 seconds of your life gleefully smashing Lloyd's screen with a torque wrench.

"I set out to write a rollicking and ridiculous space adventure," said Dorian Hart, author of Choice of the Star Captain. "My hope is that my readers will laugh out loud several times per minute--because the story is funny, of course, and not due to some unfortunate medical condition." Dorian's design credits include BioShock, Freedom Force and System Shock 2, among others.

Humanity needs you, Star Captain! Will you defeat the Blobs and come home as a war hero? Will you uncover the secret that sparked the Blob invasion? Will you serve as ambassador and convince the Blobs to spare the human race? The choice is yours.
