Visit a myth-infested 1820s Ireland. One dark (if not particularly stormy) night, you find yourself face to face with a frightening visage—or lack thereof. Though shaped like a man, the creature you’ve encountered appears to have lost his head. Worse, he seems to think you are the one to blame!

What a fun read! Suspenseful and set in a rich world of Irish folklore, The Harbinger's Head has a thrilling climax that doesn’t disappoint. Unlike the choose your own adventures of the 70s and 80s, the author does not punish you for taking risks. A great read for people who love Neil Gaiman and the world-building of his genre. The story world also reminds me a bit of Marion Zimmer Bradley’s. You should play this...

If you’re looking for a long, character driven story where you bond with someone, this isn’t it However, I recommend this for how well the writer understands the Wee Folk (The Fae) and the story fairly well written, able to pull you into the tale. Keep in mind though that this is a short game.

Time played: About 10 hours. When I was younger, I grew up reading 'Choose Your Own Adventure Novels'. If you want to do this, go to this page. If you want to do this, go to this page. These books were filled with choices that would lead you on a grand adventure, while experiencing various types of deaths. This story here is in the same vein and, even improves on it with the digital design of the game. No more...
