Embrace lichdom: research powerful spells, recruit undead legions, manage your domains, rule the underworld, and become a demigod!
You awake as an undead lich after performing a powerful ritual and will have to recruit undead minions and manage your underworld domains, exploring to discover the dark secrets within them and travel to other planes of existence to interact with fellow immortals. You will have to carefully balance the pursuit of your research of new spells, the logistical challenges of managing large numbers of undead minions and cultists, and the threats originating from your own world and other planes of existence. Life as a Lich is a 200,000 word interactive novel by Adrao, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination. It is a sequel to both one of the endings of Tokyo Wizard and one of the endings of Raiders of the Icepeak Mountains, or it can be played as a standalone game by creating a new character. Embrace being a lich, living an immortal life to research powerful spells and manage your underworld domains and minions. Will you dedicate yourself to the research on how to become a demigod and abandon your skeletal form? Or will you decide that life as an undead is not something for you, and seek to reincarnate yourself into a mortal form? Are you an evil lich, seeking to kill and enslave all in your path, or a benevolent necromancer trying to help those who worship you? Is companionship and love something that you seek in undeath, or will solitude and the search for power fill your soul?
Experience undeath as a powerful necromancer!
