Whiskey-Four

In "Whiskey-Four," a gripping 396,000-word interactive novel by John Louis, you step into the shoes of a retired contract killer from the Anomalous Interference Unit. After being injured and forced into early retirement, you're reactivated on a distant frontier world to confront a terrifying, unknowable threat that could spell doom for the entire galaxy. As you navigate this perilous journey, you'll find yourself targeted by corporate assassins, law enforcement, and even haunted by your ex who refuses to stay buried. The stakes couldn't be higher: the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance, and you're the only one who can prevent the apocalypse.

This standalone text-based adventure, devoid of graphics or sound effects, relies solely on the power of your imagination to bring its world to life. You'll make critical decisions that shape your path, from managing scarce resources to engaging in combat against various foes, including corporate kill agents, SWAT teams, and your relentless ex-lover. Along the way, you can explore romantic entanglements, rekindle old flames, or extinguish them forever. Your choices also extend to your character's gender identity, sexual orientation, and even body type, each influencing the narrative in unique ways.

As you strive to save the galaxy from itself, you'll need to outwit and outlast those who wish you harm. Can you navigate this treacherous landscape and emerge victorious, or will the galaxy's fate—and your own—be sealed in darkness?
