6 years in the making, my Indie text-driven strategy-RPG, "Nocked! True Tales of Robin Hood", is now available on itch! Take advantage of itch's mixed-media bundling, and pick up the game, the 83 minute soundtrack, and three full-length novels – parts 1 & 2 of Tales from a Coffee Shop Princess; and "Nothing Left to Wish For" - an innovative, quirky, terrifically imaginative yarn (4/5 Amazon Review) – at a deep discount!
- 9/10: The Sixth Axis says Nocked! is “an absolute necessity for anyone hankering for something unique… A phenomenal achievement.”
- 4.5/5 stars: Gamebook News calls Nocked! “A magical game, interactive fiction with a heart, soul, and style.”
- And Rock, Paper, Shotgun calls it a “fast-paced, playful narrative”, and notes that “under Nocked’s wordy carapace lurks a surprisingly elaborate strategy game.”
Back of the box for Nocked!:
The peasants of Nottingham bow under the weight of Prince John’s taxes; nobles fall to the Sheriff’s political machinations; deserters from the Crusades pillage the land; and fairies lure the unwary into the depths of mist-shrouded Sherwood Forest, never to be seen again.
Step into the chaos of a magical England at the end of the Third Crusade.
Maid Marian hides breathless amidst the brambles after the sack of her father’s castle; Little John charges a bodyweight in gold to cross a lonely log; and Will Scarlet holds court in a brokedown tower surrounded by trees as tall as the sky, waiting for a king who will never come.
The time is ripe, a spark is lit – from the ashes of your home, from the shadow of anonymity, step into legend.
You are Robin Hood.
