About this game

Write an archmage's autobiography in this 80-year 130,000-word interactive fiction! Play good or evil, man or woman, as you bring peace to the kingdom or take over the world with your sorcery. Brew potions, raise the dead, summon mythical beasts, control men's minds, and blast away your enemies.

"Life of a Wizard" is an epic interactive novel where you control the main character. In each chapter, your choices determine how the story proceeds.

Will you find romance, get married, or have children? Will you become the arch-mage, grand bishop, nature-loving druid, hardened battle-mage or even an undead lich? The choice is yours!

Ratings and reviews

The writing is okay, sometimes it doesn't match with what happened for some reason. The world is generic to the bone but that's okay. Small decisions feel impactful and important but often big decisions that feel like it should change the story do nothing. For example after multiple attempts I managed to become a lich and nothing changes but some stats. I became a floating skeleton powered by evil and the story didn't care. Made it hard to convince myself to try for the other special endings.

I really like this game, and I was perfectly fine with the reset timer stopping you from playing the game over and over without paying. I bought the game BTW, but the restore purchases option doesn't work. But having to wait 20 minutes between each chapter is just egregious.

This game is what I expect out of CYOA games. There is really only one path, but there are so many ways to go down it that each playthrough can feel unique and organic. My one gripe is how the characters are not really anything more than clay puppets, but it's easy to ignore that for everything else that's so interesting in this game.
