In the gripping standalone interactive novel "Whiskey-Four" by John Louis, you step into the shoes of a retired contract killer from the Anomalous Interference Unit. With a staggering 396,000 words, this text-based adventure harnesses the boundless power of your imagination, devoid of graphics or sound effects.

Injured and forced into early retirement, you find yourself reactivated on a remote frontier world to confront a terrifying, enigmatic threat that endangers the entire galaxy. As you navigate this perilous journey, you'll feel the weight of a looming malaise that hints at something colossal stirring in the void.

But it's not just the fate of the galaxy that hangs in the balance. You're a target: corporate assassins, law enforcement, and even your ex, who has inexplicably returned from the dead, are all gunning for you. Your mission is clear: save the galaxy from itself, or face your own demise.

Throughout your chaotic odyssey, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Play as a male or female character, with options to be gay, straight, or bisexual.
• Engage in various romantic flings, rekindle an old flame, or extinguish it permanently.
• Manage your scarce resources to stay alive amidst the chaos.
• Battle through corporate hit squads, SWAT teams, and confront your relentless ex-lover.
• Choose from three distinct body types that affect the storyline.

"Whiskey-Four" challenges you to not only save the galaxy but also to survive the relentless pursuit against you. Can you bar the doors of hell and emerge victorious, or will the galaxy's fate—and your own—be sealed in darkness?
