Help the eccentric inventor navigate the intrigue of the emerging electrical industry! Can you outsmart Thomas Edison and electrify the world?

## About This Game
Alter the course of history as an inventor at the dawn of the electrical age!
Can you outsmart Thomas Edison and help Nikola Tesla realize his dreams of
worldwide wireless power, alien contact, death rays and sapient machines?

Nikola Tesla: War of the Currents is an interactive novel by Dora Klind
žić. It’s entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled
by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

The man who invented the 20th century was a queer immigrant from Serbia.
Nikola Tesla dreamed of distributing free energy to all of mankind but passed
away in a New York hotel room alone and forgotten. What if it had gone
differently?

In the year 1886, you join the eccentric Tesla as his laboratory apprentice.
Notoriously bad at
monetizing his inventions, but nonetheless ingenious at building them, Tesla
needs your help with making a living wage as much as with performing his
experiments.

Fend off Edison’s spies, Wall Street bankers, electrical industry magnates and
other unsavory types as you navigate real historical adventures involving
electrocuted elephants, the Niagara Falls electric plant, pigeons, and that
time Mark Twain had the mishap of soiling his trousers in Tesla’s lab.

Develop your own science skills, your social life, or opt to be more business-
minded. Manage your mentor’s fragile mental state while balancing your
laboratory’s checkbook. Love your work, your pigeon, or pursue a risque
romance with Edison’s daughter. Will you manage to maintain enough funding and
influence to prevent the destruction of Wardenclyffe tower and perform the
most esoteric of experiments? Bring free power to all, contact the aliens, or
accidentally flatten a city. The history of the last great independent
inventor, as well as the future of society, are in your hands.
