" The Dragon and the Djinn " is a 710,000 word interactive Arab epic fantasy novel by Athar Fikry, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
A dragon terrorizes the grand city of Ghariba - the same dragon that slew the city's emira. Now a new emir, Alaaeldin, sits upon the throne. Lanza fiestas lujosas para la nobleza, mientras que los disturbios religiosos y sociales se agitan debajo de la superficie de la ciudad, y mientras los devastadores ataques del dragón empeoran día a día.
You have come to Ghariba in pursuit of your sister. She stole the magical sword that you made, claiming that it is her destiny to slay the dragon.
But your destiny finds you instead. Jaafar, the Grand Wazir, hands you an unexplained gift, the most precious and dangerous thing of all: a djinn who will grant your every wish. (¡Es posible que desearas tantas veces como quieras! Deseo, desear y desear, hasta que tu Djinn haya tenido suficiente, tuerce tus palabras contra ti y te destruye con tus propios deseos).
With your djinn in your hands, every faction is now vying for your aid. You must use your wits, your words, your strength, and your magic to navigate the politics of the palace, the city, and even the world beyond.
How will you use your wishes? Will you protect Ghariba from the dragon by helping your sister? Will you slay the dragon yourself? Will you listen to those who consider it sacred and want to keep it safe? Will you be able to unravel the mystery behind the dragon's sudden appearance? Or will you simply take advantage of the chaos to make yourself the richest person in Ghariba?
