About GA 1: An Assassin in Orlandes

An interactive fantasy adventure! It's a Gamebook Adventure!



First in the series of critically acclaimed interactive fantasy gamebooks in which you, the reader, control the direction of the story! Along with a realistic dice-based battle system to fight creatures, a great story and beautiful artwork, An Assassin in Orlandes will give you many hours of gamebook adventuring!

"

Set within Orlandes City, nobles are being systematically murdered by a ruthless assassin no-one seems able to catch. Finding yourself thrust in the middle of a large conspiracy, you must make decisions that may put yourself and one other most precious to you in great danger. Can you locate the Assassin in Orlandes before it is too late?"

“Tin Man Games has done an admirable job of recreating the experience in an electronic format. The story is top notch, the interface works quite well, and the music really gets you into the atmosphere of Orlandes. This is definitely a title worth taking a look at, especially if you’re familiar with the print version of this type of book.” – iPhone Life

Casual is the best way to play. There are simply too many opportunities to fail, and all this mode allows is an unlimited amount of bookmarks. How anyone could get through the entire story on 3 bookmarks is beyond me!

All I get is a black screen after starting a game.

I am ashamed that I didnt get this sooner. This is pretty incredible. The dice rolls add a decent amount of tension. Say goodbye to your friends.

Great gamebook- well written, very entertaining, well balanced, not too short not too long. Keep up the good work!

C70%

Loved it, took quite a few run throughs but I finally got a good ending.

N70%
by N####:

Anyone who thinks this is a linear boring book doesn't get it. It's fun because you can lose. The point is to figure out how to live! I'm a d&d geek and I thought it was great. I don't see how someone could dislike it.

This genre is a very good one. Brings back the nostagic feel of its paperback counterparts from before. Excellent.

Excellent story and great integration of modern technology into the traditional choose your own adventure genre.

N70%
by N####:

Very well written and interesting story but some (dead) endings come a bit surprisingly. Feels unfair to die just out of nowhere. Anyway great game. Just a little bit too expensive to me.

This is pretty cool, hours of replayability here. Especially awesome if you're getting the tabletop rpg shakes..

Great read, brings you right back to the fighting fantasy books, but after reading the house of hell and blood of the zombies i realised this is much better. Great storyline and setting and interesting combat, yes like all these adventure game books, you do rely on a bit of luck, however fitness checks which is like luck in FF usually doesn't result in your death on a failed role, rather just some lost vitality (stamina) or a different albeit trickier path. you do get a second to re role the dice just once by shaking your screen which adds some skill as you need to decide quickly if your role is good or could be improved or risk making it worse! The game is a bit short though there is many branching paths through it, i found the 3 bookmarks allowed in classic mode to be just right. I look forward to playing more of these books.

The new changes, espically the landscape mode make a good book even better.

N70%
by N####:

The story is good so far and it's put together very well. It brings back the Dungeons and Dragon days although this one is simplified. I gave it only 4/5 stars because there are too many situations where you have a choice of 2-3 directions to move and one of them will be an instant death. A good dungeon master will at least give the player a chance to survive, even though the odds may be stacked against them. I got this on sale for 99c so it was well worth it. I can't imagine paying $5.99 but if the author changed the instant death choices I may change my mind.

Very good game, tons of hours of game time and very well written. Only issue i found when i play it i can shake my device as many times as i want before the dice come to a stop and they will just re-roll. I can get the perfect out come like this all the time what sorta sucks but sometimes people like to cheat?

by G####:

Fantastic! Reminds me the fighting fantasy series! Good story, gameplay and background music. Only one complain: when we roll the dices, we foresee the result and can shake the phonetablet to change it! Is a temptation to cheat. But it's not a great issue... I'll buy the other books too!

N70%
by N####:

This game book is really well presented and will impress RPG players. The sombre Illustrations bring some life into this experience. I the only con I can think of is that it is easy to cheat using the manual dice throw but on the other hand the quick mode is unforgiving. It is also slightly expensive for the game time

Hi bought this game straight off. when I start it up I get sound but no graphics. I then downloaded the free trial and ran that. For some reason I get both sound and graphics on demo but only sound on full game, can you fix this or a refund please

Had much fun playing through this story. There isn't a huge variety for replay unless your a completionist but worth the price, will be buying more from tin man games soon

I70%
by I####:

Don't let all of the choices fool you. This is an extremely linear game. Almost every choice is the wrong choice. It is just a guessing game and the consequences of a wrong answer is death or exile every time. It is a shame though, the UI is amazing and gameplay is great. Too bad the content is horrible.

H70%

This game is fun and chllenging. It is not linear as some ratings suggest. There are a ton of endings. Only a couple are good endings. But that is part of the fun.

No dice required! A good solid story fitting of a gamebook, the beginning of a whole new fantasy universe awaiting to be explored. Excellent playability coupled with a fitting soundtrack (something you don't get with those books in print form ;-) ) Just the right length for a mobile book/game version of the genre. Now off to read GA2!!!!

This was a amazingly written book. Enjoyed every minute. Didn't care for the fitness checks. Should be able to purchase magical item that can increase your fitness. Otherwise many great hrs of playtime. Well played sirs.

My only disappointment is that I had to uninstall it to make room on tablet. Re-installed it and all my achievements were gone.

Z70%
by Z####:

The story is very gripping, that I can't help playing it again and again... and finally resorted to Casual mode. Slightly too difficult if you ask me, and the price is a tad too high, but very well-made and -written. I hope there is a sequel to the story...

B70%

If you vaguely like this, be prepared to buy the whole lot of them.

The dice are a nice touch. Nostalgia for all my old fighting fantasy books
