About 'Enter The Story' - a campaign for better games

Click here you can see how it all began

I want great stories

I want games based on the greatest stories ever written

I want the real thing

The originals are always the best. If I want a story about ancient gods and heroes, then I want something by the poet Hesiod. If I want stories of the undead, then I want the original Frankenstein or Dracula. If I want a romance, I want Pride and Prejudice, or Wuthering Heights. And I want a game that stays faithful to the book!

I want a gigantic, huge game!

All these story worlds join together. So with every new story, the world of Enter The Story ges bigger and bigger. The goal is for a game so big that you can wander around and explore forever, always finding something new!

I want depth and meaning

Most games focus so much on entertainment that they forget everything else, and end up being shallow. I want games that tackle real issues, like love and death and families and politics and religion and inspiration and everything that matters.

I want variety

Most games focus on one narrow area: science fiction, romance, humor, or whatever. This game has stories on every subject!

I want it to be easy to play

Games should be fun for everyone, not just hardcore gamers. This game has a built in help system so anybody can play it.

I want a game I can afford

Many full length new games cost fifty dollars each. How many people can afford that? This game costs 14.99, and for that you get all the stories so far.

I want it in your language

If you speak a "minority" language, don't you wish game developers took you seriously? This game is designed so that, if your language isn't available, you can download all the text from the game, translate it and send it to me, and I'll make a version in your language. Best of all, you get paid if anyone downloads it. See this page for details.

I want a game that works

Have you ever bought a game then found it doesn't work on your computer because you don't have the right graphics card or you don't have enough RAM? Or it runs really slowly? Or you the copyright protection breaks and the game you paid for doesn't work? This game is designed to play without any special graphics card or DRM, on any typical PC, and hopefully on other platforms too.

I want a game that makes the world a better place

All profits from sales of this game will fund my research into a possible economic solution to global poverty. It probably sounds boring, but it's the truth.

What do you want?

If you want a different story, vote on the forum! If you want the game to be different in some way, leave a message and I'll listen! This game does not have millions of players. Every player's opinion matters. I read everything you say and usually act on it.

Thanks for reading!
