Saturnine

You are the Veteran. You’re the oldest android in the Solar System, a relic and survivor of the ancient past. Now it’s time for you to fight again. A text-based science-fantasy novel, 700,000 words and hundreds of choices, without graphics or sound effects.

You are an android. Almost a thousand years of age, you’ve seen more wars and fought more battles than any human ever could. Your experience will soon be called upon, as you battle an ancient monster and fight to preserve the Solar System…or whatever else you hold dear. Saturnine is an interactive novel by Jon Matthieu where your choices control the story. It's almost entirely text-based, with 700,000 words and hundreds of choices, fueled by the vast power of your imagination.It is the year 990 AC. Earth is dead, forever claimed by the Calamity. Stars are unreachable, forever denied to human ambition. Only in the vastness of the Solar System humanity still survives, spiting the sentient machines that once tried to destroy it. Artificial Intelligence, a tool once used to shape space itself to human liking, is now an object of fear and a target of ceaseless hunts on every moon of every planet. You are a dying breed, though you’re determined to survive all the same.You’ve spent almost a thousand years on the run, an android among humans, a machine among creatures of flesh. You’ve recently found a safe haven, perhaps even a family, on a nigh-forgotten Saturnian station. During a heist launched on behalf of your group, you encounter a group of meta-humans who pose great danger to you and your friends… but also present a unique opportunity. • Play as male, female, or nonbinary—or abandon silly human notions of sex and gender.• Travel around Saturn and its various moons, in a setting where every location is based on an existing astronomical object.• Fight superhuman foes with your advanced weaponry, powerful fists, silver tongue, or the lightning dancing between your fingers.• Romance one of your robotic friends—or perhaps one of your quasi-human pursuers.• Determine your place, goals, and values in the bizarre world 1207 years into our future.• Reconcile with humanity and forgive past wrongs…or embrace your hatred as part of you.Just what kind of android will you be?
