Magium is a text adventure game similar to old Choose your own adventure books
(CYOA), in which you play as an ordinary guy named Barry, who joins a deadly
mage tournament against the most powerful mages in the world in the hopes of
using the prize to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a mage himself.
As in all interactive novels, your choices will affect the story, and making
wrong choices can even lead to your death. Besides the traditional choice
making of regular Choose your own adventure games, Magium also has stats that
you can upgrade with points that you will receive occasionally, throughout the
game. These stats will be checked by the game from time to time, to see if
they are high enough to allow you to perform certain actions. For example, if
your ancient languages stat is high enough, you can understand what animals
and monsters are saying.
The story of Magium starts at the beginning of the tournament, right after you
and all the other participants were transported to the continent where the
contest was taking place.
As the story progresses, you will meet with other participants, you will make
friends and enemies, and you will find out more about the continent you are
on, and its inhabitants. You will find out that a person called “The Creator”
had established several utopias in this place, six hundred years ago, where
animals and humans lived in harmony, and food was created through magic. What
you will get to see, however, is the downfall of these utopias, some of them
being on the brink of destruction. Your choices will influence what happens in
these cities, and you can even choose to save them if you so desire.
The game will be divided into several books, each of them consisting of more
than a hundred thousand words.
The first book is now available in its entirety, and it can be played for
free, with ads. It is approximately 178k words long, which translates to about
700 book pages. This number also takes into account the story’s branching
paths. The length of a playthrough on average should be about 90k words, so
about 350 book pages.
The second book has not yet been written in its entirety, but the first five
chapters are now available, while the others will be uploaded one by one, as
they are written. Unlike the first book, the second one will need to be
unlocked before it can be played. In order to unlock the second book, you will
either need to complete 25 of the 35 available achievements, or pay to remove
the ads for the first book.
