Whiskey-Four

The corpos are after you. The cops are, too. Even your ex has crawled out of the grave to try and get you back. Meanwhile, the fate of the galaxy itself rests on a knife's edge, and only you can bar the doors of hell.

"Whiskey-Four" is a standalone 396,000-word interactive novel by John Louis. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

You are a retired contract killer from the Anomalous Interference Unit. Injured on the line of duty, you were forced into an early retirement--only to be reactivated on a distant frontier world to address a horrific, unknowable threat.

A great sense of malaise permeates the void. Something big is stirring, something that jeopardizes the entire galaxy.

You're the only person in position to stop it before it's all too late.

Too bad everyone else wants you dead.
