Enter the Story Series

Oscar Wilde's famous tale of murder and eternal youth is reimagined in this browser-based "gamebook". The sixth Enter the Story installment marks a significant switch for the series to an interactive choose-your-own-adventure style of format.

Edmund Dantes has it all: young, honest, hardworking, he's just been promoted to captain of his own ship, and is about to marry the woman he loves. Then suddenly, without being given any reason, he's arrested and thrown into the most notorious jail in France, from which nobody ever escapes. Nine years later, he is about to give up all hope when a fellow prisoner inadvertenty tunnels into his cell and shines light on his imprisonment, giving him a reason to carry on: revenge!

In this adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic, Lucie Manette has to rescue her father, find her true love, and rescue him. And Sidney Carton has no family, but desperately wants one. It's a story of love and sacrifice set in London and Paris in the late 1700s, featuring the fall of the Bastille, the Great Terror, intense love, massive death, noble sacrifice, world changing revolution, eternal conflicts, and spies.

The third installment of Chris Tolworthy's ongoing [i]Enter the Story[/i] series is an adaptation of Hesiod's [i]Theogony[/i]. "Theogony" means "theos - genesis" or "the gods' origins." It reveals the origin of the universe, hw the gods were created, their battles with the Titans, the creation of mankind and how Prometheus stole fire from heaven, and more. You've probably seen hundreds of stories about Greek gods and heroes, but the Theogony is the original, from the sixth century BC. All others are imitations. Enter the original story in [i]Genesis of The Gods[/i].

The first novel adapted for the ongoing [i]Enter The Story[/i] series is Victor Hugo's [i]Les Misérables[/i], famous for its themes of overcoming poverty and injustice against the backdrop of 19th century France. Here playing as the spirit Peri, the story centers around Jean Valjean, a man convicted for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his starving sister and her family, and follows his life's journey into redemption as he escapes from prison, becomes a factory owner and mayor, adopts a young orphaned girl named Cosette, and aids the revolutionaries in the Paris Uprising of 1832.

The second installment of the [i]Enter the Story[/i] series is Dante's [i]The Divine Comedy[/i], which tells the story of the poet Dante's journey through hell (the famous "Dante's Inferno"), then through purgatory, and finally through the ten heavens until he reaches the abode of God.
