Sword Daughter - 80s gamebook now in visual novel form


So, the other year, I was visiting a used bookstore and stumbled across a cheap copy of a gamebook from a series I hadn't heard of. It was a simple oldschool fantasy story aimed at girls, one of the earliest such titles for that audience. As a visual novel author, I wanted to experiment with building bridges between VNs and gamebooks. And so, some licensing agreements and a lot of artwork later, here we are!


The text and decision-making is almost unchanged (The author revised the text somewhat for the Kindle re-release, and some words have to be lost for formatting) but the characters and scenes are now fully depicted in painted fantasy style, instead of just the occasional illustration.
