Can you locate the Assassin in Orlandes before it is too late?

The second book within the Orlandes setting is the magical The Siege of the Necromancer! Set in the coastal town of Myr, you have returned home after a long Summer in the mines of Durath Tor to find your hometown besieged by strange creatures. A dark presence has taken over the town and you are the only one who can rid the stronghold of Erid Buul, the mysterious new Lord and his ghastly cohorts.

My love affair with the fantasy gamebook…

When will the second book be out on iPhone? can’t wait.
We’re currently working hard on the second book and will be ready in the next month. We are also in full development on books 3 and 4 too, and I assure you lots to look forward to!
Great news! adored your books! looking forward to more works from your team (book3&4)! Just some comments I read on the web, 3 bookmarks might be too less, but personally, I can live with that, fyi

I am so far enjoying the second game book (my first purchase in the series). It is well written and the story is engaging. If I could make a suggestion, I think it would be nice to have a separate page showing my progress on a map. This would make good use of the iPhone and iPad. This way , I wouldn’t have to draw my own map on a piece of paper. I also noticed that the picture resolution is not as good on the iPad version (which I am using). There is the option to enlarge the picture to fit the iPad screen, but at a noticeable loss of picture quality. nevertheless, the game is quite enjoyable and I look forward to the next installment!

Hi Francois! Glad you’re enjoying Necromancer – thanks for the feedback. The current versions of GA1 and GA2 are iPhone 3GS and below only and while you can play them on your iPad, they are not currently designed for iPad – hence why the resolution isn’t optimised for the platform. Expect iPad specific versions as well as iPhone 4 versions to be out later this year. Regarding the map idea, it is something we have on our feature wishlist and may be something we do in the future.
