Kharé is brimming with things to do and creatures to meet. Visit the Festival of Thieves, battle a ghost, escape from slavers, gamble your fortune at the Halls of Vlada, drink at the tavern, worship strange Gods, and much much more. Will you uncover the secrets of the city, overthrow the Council, destroy an invading army, or leave Kharé to burn?
From legendary designer Steve Jackson, co-founder of Lionhead Studios (with Peter Molyneux), and Fighting Fantasy and Games Workshop (with Ian Livingstone), and designed and adapted by inkle, the app uses inklewriter technology to tell your journey in real-time, shaping the story around your choices. The text itself changes based on how you play and what you do. In combat, the action is described on the fly based on how you play.
Featuring original illustrations by John Blanche and maps by Mike Schley (Wizards of the Coast).
"Kharé: Cityport of Traps" is Part 2 of 4. Part 1 is out now and Part 3, "The Seven Serpents", is coming later this year. (But while you wait, check out our new game, 80 DAYS.)

The game is an adaptation of the second installment of the series of GameBook series "Sortilegio". The player must cross a fantasy city (viewed from the high-style map with its streets, neighborhoods and shops), addressing decisions and fighting and resorting to magic.
This second episode is much more sophisticated than the first as structure, riddles and dynamics. The gameplay is captivating and well conceived.
Unfortunately, the game "cheats"; Getting the best ending on the first try requires a really shameless fortune; Many random and unpredictable choices (for example, turn right instead of left at a crossroads) can make missing one of the magic verses needed to complete the episode optimally.
It is true that the game at the end allows, with a spell style "Groundhog Day" (the film with Bill Murray), to try again a couple of times, but remains quite arbitrary.
Too bad, because otherwise it would have been a little gem. If You do not mind retry the same game several times, then I recommend it strongly.
