Prepare to experience the original man-on-the-run thriller in a completely new way. In this digital adaptation by The Story Mechanics, be transported back to 1914 London, where Richard Hannay finds himself framed for a murder he didn't commit. Now he must escape the Capital and stay alive long enough to solve the riddle of The 39 Steps. There are secrets to be discovered, locations to be explored and - above all - an incredible tale to be told in this ground-breaking interactive novel.
Have you ever heard of a visual novel?
It’s a genre of video games very popular in the East, where you take the place of the protagonist of a story and from your decisions, you build your path toward different endings.
The 39 Steps is a visual novel with the difference that it doesn’t have multiple endings; instead of that, it has an amazing setting in sound and illustration. And tells the story of Richard Hannay and how he goes from his boring visit to London, to be in the center of the events that caused the WWI.
I recommend it only to people that enjoy reading or are looking for an experience unlike most video games, because in the end, it's still a book.
