DownloadEmbark on an alchemic adventure in a Persian steampunk empire! In "Heavens' Revolution: A Lion Among the Cypress," a text-based interactive novel by Peter Adrian Behravesh, you'll wield arcane alchemy to shape the fate of Seyj, a city teetering on the brink of revolution.
Inspired by 18th-century Iran, this 270,000-word story lets your choices dictate the narrative. Will you use your skills to repair a spaceship and escape to another world, or pilot a powerful mech into battle? The choice is yours.
Your alchemic training blends magic and technology, enabling you to create gunpowder, design complex machinery, craft life-saving potions, and even distill exquisite perfumes. Rediscover lost astralchemy and potentially repair a khalicraft spaceship or pilot a giant mech.
Torn between your She'ri colonial heritage and your Seyj ancestry, you'll face a difficult decision. Serve in the Royalist army, defend the satrap governor, or join the escalating Revolutionist movement seeking to overthrow the empire and restore the old regime. Perhaps you'll even choose a more treacherous path, playing both sides against each other as a spy.
Choose your path:
- Define your identity: Play as male, female, or non-binary; gay, straight, bisexual, or asexual.
- Master alchemy: Create powerful weapons, establish your own workshop, or secure a prestigious university position.
- Rise through the ranks: Command an army to defend the satrap.
- Lead the revolution: Overthrow the usurper and restore the rightful ruler.
- Find love: Forge a relationship with a fellow soldier, a blacksmith-turned-rebel, or even a princess.
The question remains: is conquering the world worth sacrificing your soul?
