Development Team

Developed by Tintamar Interactive, a leader in interactive fiction. Lead writer Kyle Marquis, a nominee for the XYZZY Award for Best Story, brings over 14 years of expertise in narrative-driven design. The team is renowned for merging literary storytelling with gameplay mechanics, with acclaimed titles such as Heroes Rise and Cannonfire Concerto.
Silverworld marks their first experimental title to feature a fully non-binary gender system.

Competitive Titles

• Choice of Robots: Another text-based sci-fi, but limited in scope—lacks Silverworld’s multi-civilization layered storytelling.
• Sorcery! Series: A fantasy classic, though its linear structure restricts freedom and offers 30% fewer customization options than Silverworld.
• 80 Days: A steampunk benchmark with only 120,000 words—far shorter and less replayable than Silverworld’s 560,000-word epic.

Market Performance

Rated 4.6/5 on Google Play (23,000+ reviews) and selected among the Top 10 Indie Narrative Games of the Year. Praised for its “novel-level decision depth,” though 5% of reviews note a lack of early guidance. With over 750,000 downloads and 85% of players completing at least two playthroughs, Silverworld sets a new benchmark for player retention in its genre.
