The Alchemist's Folly

It all started with 'Nightshift'... 'The Alchemist's Folly' is the second book in The Cluster of Echoes hexalogy, but don't worry if you haven't read the others - you can play this as a stand-alone horror gamebook. You won't need dice, but you better keep your wits about you and have a pinch of luck to stand any chance of surviving! Available as paperback and eBook, and the hardback edition has additional extras including all the puzzle solutions and hidden passages! Today's the day! All you have to do is make it through the interview and the dream job at Bio-Imperium is yours. Just imagine - the respect, the Nobel Prize for Medicine and let's not forget, the salary. It's about time you had some recognition for your talents. Only, this day isn't turning out quite as you expected and you've got the sneaking suspicion that Professor Rubedo has very different plans for you. Trapped with freaks of nature and man-made monsters, you need to stay alive long enough to thwart the twisted dreams of the Professor. After all, this job isn't about saving the world; it's about controlling it. In this quagmire of deceit and subterfuge, you are not a hero. You're just a self-centred scientist who's bitten off more than they can chew! Maybe you can use your wits to extricate yourself from this megalomaniac's madness. We'll see... There's a difference with this interactive battle though. There's no dice to throw and no battles to fight. What you need is what you already have-knowledge, skills, memory and a pencil. You just might make it out if you can piece together the clues and figure out the puzzles. Will you escape The Alchemist's Folly?
