Diaspora

Navigate unknown waters, deadly politics, and ancient magic to save your clan!

"Diaspora" is a one-million-word interactive novel by Vincent Cunningham and JJ Laurier. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Forced out of your ancestral home, your people must sail to the south, where only your vanished father has ever been. But even after you've found a place to live, your problems are far from over. A mighty empire controls the nearby coastal city, and the local raiders want it back. You'll need to find your place in the conflict, seal an alliance, track down an ancient artifact, and fight for your right to belong.
