About The Nascent Necromancer

Sorcery is forbidden and punishable by death. These punishments are summarily handed out by the Witch Hunters, a powerful organization of inquisitors.

When a group of corrupt witch hunters comes to your village, accusing your brother of sorcery and wrongly accusing you of abetting him, your life takes a violent and abrupt change for the worse. After you've suffered more than you can bear and endured terrible tragedy, perhaps your only option left is to become the very thing that your enemies fear and despise so much.

The Nascent Necromancer is an epic, 238,000 word interactive fantasy novel by Samwise Harry Young, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
  • Play as male, female, or nonbinary. Romance men, women, both, or no one at all.
  • Embark on a perilous journey, facing witch hunters, trolls, and goblins as you seek to gain the terrible power that will bring you revenge on your persecutors.
  • Romance the cold, aloof Tozi; the sarcastic, charismatic Tanno; the shy, sweet Kenda; the kind, easygoing Meylor; or even the idealistic witch hunter, Lonnie.
  • Read approximately 100,000 words per play-through!
  • Choose among three kinds of spells; mental, physical, or conjuration. Cast torture spells; summon flying, undead hands; control the minds of your enemies, and much more.
If they want a witch hunt, you'll give them one.

The main allure of the game isn't introduced until the last 20% of the story only to have an effect less than three times to any sizable scale. This game doesn't really have anything to do with necromancy. It would've been better served simply saying that anything close to 'necromancy' would simply be the occult. Call them cultists or warlocks and allow their abilities to represent that. There are only two 'abilities' that even get close to necromancy and it's simply not good enough. There are better ChoiceScript games that follow the trope of the 'Unwilling Antihero'. That's not to say that the game is completely irredeemable. If marketed as a perilous journey that contains a family of cultists trying to survive against a tyrannical branch of the government, it would've made for a better marketed game. Because at the end of the day, it was simply a bunch of generic fantasy (no insult meant by the term, I like generic fantasy) conflicts that lead to an introduction of personalities that then follow the above structure of trying to survive against the odds. Also, with the exception of one or two romance options, they feel very bizarre. Without spoiling the details, one option i…

It's pretty good. Strong start, the various characters are decently developed and I like the concept. I do think some of the romance options fall into the trap that a lot of games do - the stories aren't long enough for a slow burn or even a medium burn, so you're practically jumping right into love at first sight with whichever character catches your interest. On the plus side, you aren't locked into any choices there, you can spend time with all the characters whether you like them or not - and you aren't forced to spend time with them if you don't care for them. But ♥♥♥♥ am I tired of people writing series and leaving things unresolved to be finished in the next book. Write a good ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ standalone book and leave room to expand on it if you as an author want to finish it and if it is received well. Don't just wrap things up with plotlines left unresolved.
