A new era in interactive fiction. Three pulse pounding chapters. One Earth saving mission. Will you have what it takes to stop Emperor Zorvath?
A New Era in Interactive Fiction Has Arrived.
Earth is burning. A crimson death ray, wielded by the merciless Emperor Zorvath, has begun vaporizing cities one by one. Governments have fallen to their knees. You have not.
You are Captain Rafe Randall, Space Command's finest pilot. Space Command has one mission for you: decode the enemy's transmissions, uncover Zorvath's one known weakness, deal with the saboteurs already inside the walls, and get the rocket ship Comet off the ground before the clock runs out.
The Menace From Planet Z is a sweeping, three chapter interactive fiction epic built on the golden age of pulp science fiction. Every choice you make echoes through the mission. Every ally you trust could be the one who betrays you.
Your Choices Shape the Story
Nothing is decoration. How you treat your crew determines what they will risk for you. Show mercy to an enemy and they may show it back. Trust the wrong person and the mission pays for it. Multiple distinct endings await, each earned by the choices you make from the very first transmission.
A Crew for the Ages
Professor Diana Cortez is the team's brilliant scientist, first to catch the enemy's next move. Commander Morrison is gruff, unshakeable, and willing to pay any price for victory. Sparky Jenkins is the wisecracking mechanic who just might be the most capable person on the launch pad. And Lady Isolde Vane? Spy, prisoner, or something far more complicated. You will have to decide.
Puzzles That Demand Your Mind
Crack a Zorvathian cipher machine ring by ring. Diagnose a contamination sample under ultraviolet light. Calibrate a navigation console by routing power through the correct relay sequence. Every puzzle is woven into the story, because in this universe your brain is the most powerful weapon you carry.
Combat on the Front Line
Face down Zorvathian saboteurs at the launch pad, talk your way past a hidden enemy agent, or corner him in a fight you may not win. The stakes only grow as the mission carries deeper into enemy territory.
The Authentic Golden Age Experience
Crimson death rays. Alien ciphers. Calculating machines that hum and click. Characters who speak in the vivid slang of a world that believed the universe was just waiting to be explored. The Menace From Planet Z plays it completely straight, and that is exactly what makes it thrilling.
This is interactive fiction the way it was always meant to be told: immersive, consequential, and impossible to put down.
A new era in interactive fiction begins now. The stars are waiting, Captain.
