Drive and customize a giant iron war machine in this alternate take on medieval history! In 1182 AD, the Papacy, the Caliphate, and the Mongols are at war, and they all possess giant war machines—huge war robots, powered by the energy of mysterious "Skystone" meteors.
Heart of Iron is a 250,000-word interactive novel by Lee Williams. It's entirely text-based, with no graphics or sound effects, and relies on the vast and boundless power of your imagination.
Our story begins in the distant future, on a space mission to intercept an asteroid that can open wormholes through time and space. When your ship and crew are sucked back in time, you awaken from the cryogenic freeze in 1182—the height of the Third Crusade.
Trapped in the past, you must choose a side in the Machine War between Saladin's Caliphate, the Catholic Papacy, and Genghis Khan's Mongol Golden Horde.
Key Features:
Play as male, female, or non-binary; Gay, straight, bisexual, or asexual.
