What Specters of the Deep is and who it suits

Specters of the Deep is an interactive epic fantasy novel, presented entirely as text. The listing describes roughly 1 million words and hundreds of choices, with no graphics or sound effects to carry the scenes.

It suits people who enjoy reading and choosing their own path through a long story, and who are happy to let their imagination supply the visuals. The author, Abigail C. Trevor, previously wrote Heroes of Myth and Stars Arisen.

A fallen warrior who returns as a ghost

The story starts after your character has died in battle at the hands of a greatest rival. You then rise from the grave as a ghost, with the aim of defending your country in its hour of need.

Before your death you were the finest warrior of Galdrin, an island nation. You served as the king's emissary to the dragons, after they came out of seclusion, and helped forge an alliance with them. The Eye of the Serpent, a magical artifact bonded to the monarch, is central to that history.

Reading a text-only story with hundreds of choices

Every scene is delivered as written text, so the story depends on prose and your own imagination rather than art or audio. The listing puts the total at about 1 million words, with hundreds of choices along the way.

Because there is no graphics layer, the pacing and atmosphere come entirely from the writing. Choices are the points where you direct the story.

Dragons, duels with the dead and the sea nightmare

The listing names three main threads for the story: confronting dragons, dueling the dead, and facing a nightmare at the bottom of the sea. The summary frames the goal as avenging your own death.

These threads are set against the backdrop of Galdrin's politics and the Eye of the Serpent, which ties the monarchy's strength to your own past.
