About the game

A swashbuckling naval adventure, in the spirit of C. S. Forester's Hornblower or Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin books, with a dash of Jane Austen. Choice of Broadsides is a 60,000 word interactive novel, 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.

There are also way too many stats to keep track of for such a short game and it sometimes seems like stats get affected for no reason and that half of them don't even matter. I didn't…
