About this game

'The Eighth Continent 2: The Chasm' is the much anticipated second interactive novel of a trilogy in which you play the hero!

In the first gamebook you sought your lost family across post-apocalyptic London, but now you must venture north, to a mysterious place they call The Chasm.

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

Features:
- Choose: Another branching storyline where every choice has a consequence.
- Explore: 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!
- Fight: A card-based fighting mini-game.
- Hack: A mini-game for hacking electronic locks.
- Scavenge: A mini-game where you scavenge for precious goods.
- Trade: Vendors to buy and sell.
- Decode: A decryption mini-game to decode secret records.
- Persuade: A mini-game where you persuade characters to your point of view.
- Record: A new ‘scrapbook’, where texts found in the wasteland build up a picture of life after End-Day.
- Manage: An inventory of consumables and quest items for you to manage.
- Over 900 pages.
- 36 achievements.
- An improved, 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 2: The Chasm' is the second book of a trilogy; book three will be released as an app soon.

Ratings and reviews

Even better than the first and still free, what's there not to like? A new dialogue style minigame has been added as well and the decisions are both more varied and wider reaching. It's a superior game to the first, as a sequel should be. Very good, get it after playing part 1. Oh and buy this one too, they deserve it. I eagerly await part 3.

This is a fantastic story and game! I love the complexity of the characters and the plot. It's also cool how Jordan is written non gender specific. Thank you for your hard work and imagination! My only suggestion would be to add a setting to make the battles more difficult, so it takes more skill and stays challenging when one is replaying the game. I hope that you end up publishing book 3, and that I can keep my pet robot! If you need funding, do you have Patreon?

I really enjoyed the first game, and I was enjoying the second game up until I selected a photo to examine in the lobby during chapter 6. I just got a black screen. There is no way to progress forward or go back to before that choice. The only option appears to be to restart from the beginning. I also noticed a lot of the searching mini games appear to have less time or take more time to find the item you are looking for.
