About this game

It's always a bit stressful on graduation day. The uncertainty of the future, the excitement of endless possibilities, and of course getting blown out of the sky by a weapon that should no longer exist. Welcome to Earth in the 24th century.

"Nuclear Powered Toaster" is a 160,000 word interactive sci-fi novel by Matt Simpson, 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.

Humanity is a pale shadow of its former glory after two nuclear wars and living under the constant threat of orbital attack. You…won't really be able to change any of that, but if you play your cards right, you might just live to see another sunrise, and possibly even unravel a sinister plan!

• Play as smuggler Alexi Beaumont, or superpowered government agent Fiorella Branford for two distinct experiences.
• Meet new and interesting people on Duck Mountain, and try not to be incinerated by them!
• Team up with a henchman, an actor, or the solar system's oddest janitor.
• Uncover a global conspiracy and bring down a mysterious terrorist...if you can.
• Resolve situations with wits, force, or just harness the erratic power of pure insanity.
• Endeavor to keep on good terms with your comrades, or risk turning an ally into an enemy!

Comedy, action, and a pinch of absurdity await those who board the Nuclear Powered Toaster!

Ratings and reviews

I actually purchased this book. This story has two different playable characters with unique stories. The only real flaw with this game is that the plot is more linear than other choose your adventure books and there are not many endings. It's a good game to play twice given the two unique characters. Excellent world building and written well with a good plot. This story also has a great deal of humor which I appreciated. It's a decent read.

This game absolutely defeats the purpose of a choose your own adventure game. If I wanted to read a story with a premade main character, I would just read a book. I play games like this so I can choose to play as whomever I want and create the story as I go. Absolutely not worth playing as there are plenty of other hosted games that actually have choices.

I don't understand why many reviewers criticised this game so harshly. I personally found this interactive fiction pretty decent. The characters are lovable and memorable. Sure, we can't choose the names for the two main protagonists of this story, but this game still fulfills the criteria for an interactive fiction.
