In this interactive novel known as a "gamebook", you will plunge into the strange, dreamlike wonders of Mayan myth. You will confront ghosts and gods, bargain for your life against wily demons and find allies and enemies among both the living and the dead. Even if you're brave enough to survive the dangers of the spirit-haunted western desert, you must still confront the wizard, "Necklace of Skulls", in a fight to the death for your very own soul.


A NEW FORM OF INTERACTIVE FICTION

A perilous expedition meets with disaster. The sole survivor returns with dreadful news: your twin brother is dead. You swear vengeance upon his killer, the terrifying demon-wizard known only as Necklace of Skulls - a quest that will take you to the edge of the known world and beyond.

Drawing heavily upon authentic Mayan history coupled with an engaging fantasy adventure narrative, this gamebook changes the definition of interactive fiction forever.

Originally part of renowned author and game designer Dave Morris’s celebrated Virtual Reality series of choose-your-own-adventure gamebooks, Necklace of Skulls dispenses with dice rolling and luck, and instead puts your survival skills to the test in a lush and vibrant life-changing experience.

Necklace of Skulls has been recreated for touchscreen devices with all-new features including beautiful animated artwork from international award-winning graphic designer and illustrator Xavier Mula, save game options, an exclusive soundtrack and multiple characters to choose from.

Take a journey that you’ll never forget in Necklace of Skulls.

Ratings and reviews

This is my favorite book ever since I was a kid and as soon as I got an android device and knew about this, I immediately bought it. Any chance that it would be available on iStore though? The writing and the new interface is great. The music is atmospheric and sets the mood right. The artwork is a bit too cutesey for the gamebook as opposed to the gritty illustrations in the paperback but still great. One thing that really kinda diappointed me though. There are a lot of unexpected crashes. Especially in the underworld options. I kinda have an idea on the story but with the game crashing every now and then, it is frustrating. Reported some of it already. The game is topnotch, I am thankful you guys made it masterfully....well except for the frequent crashing. But yeah, I love the books by Dave Morris so much and you guys did justice making a game out of it. Kudos! PS: It wont hurt if you guys would adapt another VR gamebook app. Hehe

App wouldn't load past the initial cubis games screen. Advised that it was designed for older version of Android and may need to be updated but no updates are available. Uninstalled for a full refund. Disappointed as I'm a big fan of Dave Morris books and was looking forward to this.

Loved the game, but now it gets stuck on the "Cubus Games" screen whenever I try to play it again.
