Just played/read it for the 3rd time and it's still great. Nice mix of story and doing stuff, well written, lovely drawings. Going to play part 2 now, but still no part 3 :-( Any news about that? I really want to know how it ends.

The story of a family coping with post apocalyptic world is riveting, and well told with vivid imagery; although it is intense, and deals with survival, it isn't gory. Involvement in the game could encourage reading in gamers, which may interest parents. Most games have an amoral premise which favors winning at any cost, but this is set in a moral universe-intriguing and unusual. The mini games and other features offer puzzles that are fun, sophisticated and challenging. Altogether an absorbing and beautiful game that resonates emotionally. Very enjoyable on a tablet, might not be as accessible using a phone. After enjoying the free game, purchased 1 and 2, and would have paid much more for them. Way better than any game I've ever played.

Got this game as a travel companion, looked perfect for my 4+ hour flight. And it was! Not for everyone, but I enjoyed it very much (the free version). Buying it since it is definitely worth the money and the author deserves it. Thanks!

Absolutely loved it and it's probably the first "book/novel" I've managed to read for years due to an accident ten years ago that caused me having some issues with my ability to read and comprehend a larger amount of text (as the bookworm I am it has been devastating) but after finishing this I might finally be able to catch up my backlog of books soon! Played/read it through in one session two days ago and the only thing I can notify upon is a suggestion for the buy/sell meny which I would have loved to be able to see how many units of either product I have in stock while browsing shop items with traders. Other than that I loved the minigames and the overall story in itself! I played the free version, but I loved it so much I decided to buy it to encourage more promising creations like this! Keep up the good work! I'm heading for the second part as soon as possible and if I have any suggestions or so I'll be back with a review when finished. Cheers!

About this app

'The Eighth Continent' is an interactive novel in which you are the story's hero!

In a world devastated by a cataclysmic super-eruption, you must search for your lost family.  Who should you trust?  What dangers await you in the volcanic wasteland?

Scavenge, fight, hack, and trade your way through a ruined world.

Features:
- A branching storyline; make crucial choices and live with the consequences.
- Conditional choices, where your options may depend on the items in your inventory, your health or mental state, previously visited locations, your reputation with other characters, or even your wealth!
- A card-based fighting mini-game.
- A mini-game for hacking electronic locks.
- A mini-game where you scavenge for precious goods.
- Vendors to buy and sell.
- A decryption mini-game to decode secret records.
- An inventory of consumables and quest items for you to manage.
- Over 700 pages.
- Over 20 achievements.
- An automatic bookmark save system.

Suitable for adults and young adults alike, the book uses clean language throughout and contains mild fictional violence in the form of a card game.  Although a standalone story, 'The Eighth Continent' is the first book of a trilogy; books two and three are already written, and will be released as apps soon.

The app is designed for both phones and tablets, and works in both landscape and portrait orientations.

Special thanks to Matt Rix for his excellent Futile 2D library.

New features

1) Improved fight help text and added help text for dynamic options.
2) Various typos and minor fixes.
3) Vendor now update if the player consumes saleable items from their inventory.
4) Vendor mini-games stay a minimum height to make help dialogs easier to read when the item list is short.
