Book publisher Random House has entered the video game space with its new “narrative gaming experience” Black Crown. The interactive fiction game was written by author Robert Sherman, and is available to play for free.
“Black Crown represents Random House’s ambition to push the boundaries in online storytelling, experiment with new business models and launch a debut author in a groundbreaking way,” said Random House’s Dan Franklin.
The game follows a free-to-play model, with microtransactions available to unlock new story segments, attain new action points, or purchase items.
The launch features content from “stage one” of the project, with more content to be added after its first month.
