The gods have chosen you to lead your tribe on a deadly pilgrimage to the Valley of the North Wind! When future generations recite your saga, will they sing of your glory or your downfall?
"Saga of the North Wind" is a 300,000-word interactive fantasy novel by Tom Knights, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Your people roam the Great Steppe, chased and challenged by the fearsome Tribe of the Black Wolf. Their leader, the shaman Zhan-Ukhel, calls forth savage magic from Chernobog, the god who rules their tribe. Your tribe must have a leader who can call down protection from the gods. That leader is you, and this is your saga.
Rule your tribe as an iron-fisted chieftain or as a benevolent guardian. Will your allies support you on the field of battle? Will the gods come when you need them most? Do you even need the gods to smite your enemies, or will you seize divine power for yourself?
An eerie glow dances across the stars tonight, stars that bear your name. Listen, now, to the Saga of the North Wind!
• Play as male or female, gay, or straight
• Become a shaman of the spirit world
• Fight the ancient, powerful force, Chernobog who rules your enemies
• Battle in the arena or make a daring escape from captivity
• Call upon the spirits for aid in your struggle against the Black Wolves' sorceror
I just finished my first play through of this game, and I truly enjoyed the experience. The writing is great, which isn't something you can say about every CYOA game. My only complaint is that the stats (and what affects them) feel really obfuscated.
Worth every cent.

I've always loved the "Choice of games" for as long as I can remember having an iPhone. This story is no different. This is the first review I've made for these games if I can recall and I can say that I am once again, completely satisfied with yet another title of their games (Saga of the North Wind). I would HIGHLY recommend giving it a chance and try the other ones too. These guys are definitely one of my favorite developers of all time for iOS games. Very immersive and entertaining story. Don't forget to check out their other works too!!

This is exactly what these types of games should be. I replayed this and it was still good. There are certain channelized paths, but this in no way seemed to diminish the replay value. I recommend this without reservation. The one thing I wish for this and other games of this type is that the character could be carried forward into another adventure, even if it were in another timeframe.
Definitely worth the money

An incredibly engaging story, I am so happy I bought this game. My only major critique is that I wish a couple of the characters were a little more fleshed out. However the adventure itself feels like a true epic, and more than makes up for any tiny shortcomings. I can't wait to play it again!
You can now choose a font in the Settings menu. Switch to Helvetica for crisp sans-serif text, or try the OpenDyslexic font, designed against some common symptoms of dyslexia. If you enjoy "Saga of the North Wind", please leave us a written review. It really helps!
