Tower Behind the Moon

Tower Behind the Moon is a 400,000-word interactive fantasy epic in which your choices shape the story. You play as the greatest magician in the Sublunar World, preparing to reach immortality during a celestial Conjunction one month away. The attempt takes place in the tower where your magic is strongest; if you miss the Conjunction, you will die.

A tower under threat

Your tower is both your sanctum and a target for enemies you have made through a lifetime of treasure hunting, sorcery and war. Angels and demons haunt your workshop, mortal princes demand favors and concessions, and your servants—some of them half-gods or more—compete for your attention and scheme to take the tower. The shade of your mentor, who failed to ascend, warns that something from your past intends to destroy your future.

The gods have noticed your efforts to unlock heaven’s doors. Some demand that you ascend or face the consequences, while others plot your destruction. You hold the keys to heaven, hell and the outer darkness, but must find the door.

Choose your path

You can play as male, female or nonbinary, and choose to be gay, straight, bi or ace. Five magical paths offer different servants and spells. You can travel from the forgotten castles of the underworld to heaven’s crooked back-alleys, and face mad dragons, ruthless angels, cultists and whole kingdoms of the dead.

Your choices can lead you to be dreadful and monstrous or subtle and ruthless; to maintain your humanity or abandon the fetters of reason; and to comfort the afflicted or vaporize the annoying. You can also seek love as your mortal existence nears its end.

Seek ascension

As you uncover the history of your tower, your mentor and your long-lost adventuring companions, you decide what kind of being to become. If you succeed, you can become a demon, a god, an undead lich, a shining immortal or a living continent.
