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 gets 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!

Have you ever read a great book, and wanted to be part of it?
My name is Chris Tolworthy. I love reading. Ever since I was a child I wanted to visit the places I read about, to climb inside the books and meet the people. So I decided to make a world where you can do that.

Why not...
Put Les Misérables on your web site
Les Misérables: The Game of The Book is now free. Why not upload a copy to your web site, your Facebook page or blog, or on a cover disk? Upload it to wherever files are shared!
Before Winston Churchill saved the world from Hitler he had a plan for saving the world from poverty and injustice: it's called land rent. My lifetime goal is to find a way to make it work. That's why I made this game, to fund my research. By promoting this game you're doing your bit to make Churchill's dream a reality.
How can you help? Tell people about Enter the Story. Put a banner on your web site. Give people a copy of Les Misérables: the Game of The Book. Tell them how they can be in the next game. Or if the game isn't to your taste, let me know how I can improve it!
Thanks!

Make some money
Why not sell these games through your own web site (if you have one)? You get a cut of every game sold. Just sign up with Plimus or BMT Micro and then search for 'partner program' or 'affiliate' for what to do next.
