World's Apart 2.1
For over 20 years, Susan Britton has dreamed about an alternate universe she calls "The Higher World." For the last three of those years, she's poured most of her creative energy into a novel-length story set in that universe. Worlds Apart is the result. But it is not a novel in the traditional sense of the word. It is an interactive tale in which you play the leading part, solving problems and learning about yourself along the way.
The only catch is, you'll need to use a computer to experience it.
Worlds Apart is a descendant of old-fashioned computer text adventures. It was designed using a very powerful interactive fiction language called TADS, which produces games quite similar in look and feel to the legendary Infocom adventures. As with those, you interact with Worlds Apart via a text parser, which accepts simple commands like "sit on the chair" and "ask the wizard about magic".
Yet this work differs from traditional adventures almost as much as it differs from a plain novel. While there are many puzzles to solve, they are all integrated into the storyline. Worlds Apart is first and foremost about self-discovery. It is richly detailed to all senses, filled with optional discoveries and extra details and fleshed-out characters, and has been tested and re-tested by a dedicated group of beta-testers to insure that all these aspects work as they should.
