Prose pros: Cubus Games brings more interactive fiction to mobile

Come out to play.

Come out to play.

There are several developers out there who seem to keep popping out new material continuously, and you begin to wonder when the hell they get a chance to sleep. One of the newer, red-eyed faces in that crowd is gamebook dev, Cubus Games. These are the guys who created Heavy Metal Thunder which was one of the most original and fun gamebooks I’ve read in a long time.

They’re back on iOS and Android with a Mayan adventure that’s been out for a couple weeks now, Necklace of Skulls. The book will lead you through Mayan myths where you’ll face gods and ghosts as you battle for your very soul. Yeah, their books are like that.

That’s not all. Coming “imminently” is the follow-up to Heavy Metal Thunder, Sol-Invictus. The sequel will extend the tale of your amnesic anti-hero and, going out on a limb here, will probably entail graphic, brutal, and mostly well-deserved violence.

Heavy Metal Thunder is available on both iOS and Android, and Necklace of Skulls is on both platforms as well.
