    A solo fantasy role-playing adventure where you become the hero in an epic interactive story! "There are a bunch of fun puzzles to solve, and the tricky nature of the treasure hunts will have you thirsty to check out every detail in every room. As I've already mentioned, there's a lot of action in the game, too. The last couple of battles are grand in their scope and challenge..." - Touch Arcade "The quality of the writing here is superb. Like the first game the author manages to keep your interest held, with the vocabulary rich and the writing witty and descriptive, holding an element of tension throughout." - Games Uncovered "The graphics are simply excellent, with selectable fonts and backgrounds available. The quality of the design is such that it’s easy to forget you’re holding a mere iPhone in your hands and not a real-live book." - TouchMyApps ** BACK COVER BLURB! ** Set in the coastal town of Myr, you have returned home after a long Summer in the mines of Durath Tor to find your hometown besieged by strange creatures. A dark presence has taken over the town and you are the only one who can rid the stronghold of Erid Buul, the mysterious new Lord and his ghastly cohorts.

    GA returns for a third epic interactive adventure gamebook! Please note that you do not need to have played any of the previous gamebooks in order to play this. "Cruelly taken from your homeland of Orlandes, you find yourself in a far off land at the mercy of a gladiatorial arena. Somehow trying to find a way to escape overseas, can you also unravel a potentially dangerous mystery that puts two nations on the brink of war?" "My favourite examples so far though are the iPad and iPhone-compatible Gamebook Adventures, a series of lovingly crafted and extremely well-written interactive fantasy novels. It's surprisingly engrossing stuff, the economically written narrative packing in masses of detail, while rattling out a pacy, involving story." - The Guardian "Slaves of Rema is epic in scope, but doesn't lose sight of the plight of your character. It brings the twists and turns at a satisfying pace, and all of this is supported by the wonderful art we have come to expect from Tin Man Games." - Touch Gaming Magazine "On the technical side, Slaves of Rema is almost at the level of perfection. The graphics have been optimized for the Retina display and look gorgeous, the interface is easy to understand and use, with the bare minimum of excess buttonry and the dice animations are simply superb." - TouchMyApps "I can't help but feel a certain nostalgia for these four interactive books. Without noticing it, I got sucked into the first one over the Christmas holiday and went back to the previous pages and cheat reading different plots." - App Freak Gamebook Adventures 3: Slaves of Rema is the third in a series of newly written adventure gamebooks for the iPhone, iPod Touch and now beautifully realised for the iPad! We are completely original and not simply a re-print of old gamebooks. •Includes all the interactive reading and gameplay features found in An Assassin in Orlandes and The Siege of the Necromancer. •Includes •Newly written story by Gaetano Abbondanza with illustrations by Alex Drummond and cover by Dan Maxwell that take you on a journey southwards to the vast continent of Rema. •Three difficulty levels: Classic, Bookworm and Novice. These will make Gamebook Adventures more accessible to those who want a more casual experience whilst keeping the Classic mode reserved for those who like it more hardcore! •More achievements to collect than either of our previous gamebooks. •A new Shield value enabling you to defend yourself better in battles. •You can now view book illustrations full screen by simply tapping on them in the book. •Widgets at the bottom of each page access directly to your inventory, settings and main menu. •Map update showing the continent of Rema as well as a history found within an updated Orlandes Uncovered. •Evocative soundtrack composed by our Freeplay Independent Games Awards Finalist, Adrian Watkins. •Higher resolution artwork for iPhone 4 users making use of the new retina display as well as the larger iPad screen dimensions. Gamebook Adventures is brought together through the efforts of passionate and avid gamebook enthusiasts. If you are familiar with the Fighting Fantasy, Lone Wolf or Grail Quest series then Gamebook Adventures will really appeal to you. Our aim is to give those nostalgic readers of old something new and fresh, and bring a new exciting experience to those unfamiliar with gamebooks.

"The mighty city of Falavia, the military backbone of Orlandes, is under attack from an army lead by a man claiming to be a God. How did this come to pass you ask yourself?

"Two hundred years ago, the legendary City of Tarnath Tor was destroyed as it’s defenders, the mighty wizards valiantly tried to repel an orcun horde.

This search will lead you to great ruins and the dark forces who have made it their home. Who is this wizard from Tarnath Tor and how can you trust him?" "Gamebook Adventures are fun to read – not just because the RPG mechanic draws you in and engages you in the story, but also because the stories are good fantasy fiction. The artwork is great and there is a great deal of replayability in the application, especially when you consider the hundreds of choices that can be made and the various difficulties." - WIRED.COM "After finally making my way through the series’ newest release, I’m somewhat ashamed that I’ve waited so long to take the plunge...the only real question is, “How much longer do I think I can hold out before buying the other five volumes?” The answer: Not very." - 148APPS (4/5) "Interactive Gamebook Adventures hits iOS for six with The Wizard from Tarnath Tor" - POCKET GAMER Gamebook Adventures 6: The Wizard from Tarnath Tor is the sixth in a series of newly written adventure gamebooks for the iPhone, iPod Touch and now beautifully realised for the iPad!

    Why don't they have the first book on sale for $.99? Second sale now...

    I bought the Spider God one, but I'd like to start at the beginning, although I wouldn't play it very much - so I've been waiting for a big(ger) sale....

    Afaik the books are each stand alone adventures. I picked up books 3,4 and spider god, but I can understand the desire to start at book one with the Orlandes series if the books are sequential as far as the city and major events are concerned.

    I'm keen to see what the interface for the Dredd book(s) turns out like, so to that end money well spent even if I dont get through these three.

    Same here, just bought books 2-6

    After the way the Fighting Fantasy series of books just disappeared (and released just one book in a series of 4 (Sorcery) which was a waste to buy) i'm happy to buy these instead
