Title: The Devil's Addition
Review: As a piece of interactive fiction for those interested in the Wild West, this is an entertaining and enjoyable experience. The base story line is established as a prelude to what could certainly be hours of interesting and dangerous exploration through Abilene, Kansas in search of a fugitive from the law. The characters and circumstances are believable, and the action is fast and furious. At critical junctures, you are asked to roll dice to determine your fate and the next paragraph to move to. Success in violent events adds dice to the next time you must roll and contributes to your possible survival. Moreover, the "Code of the West" is apparent and frivolous gunplay can lead to a quick funeral instead of success in capturing your prey. Overall, I had a great time reading and playing through this and also used it as a learning experience with my teenaged son who was studying 19th Century American West in school.
