Tales of the Black Death - A Three-book saga done in Scribus.

After the release of my atypical books Catalyst and Dr. Novak's Puzzle Book, I decided to dedicate the remainder of the year to transforming my video game series, Tales of the Black Death, into a choose-your-own-adventure style book saga.

The books follow the same overarching journey as the video game; however, the choices are far more drastic. Also, there is no flipping around pages, the story moves forward only. The experience is designed more like a "Can you make it to the end of the book without dying?" than anything else.

Each book features approximately twenty gruesome deaths, determined entirely by the reader's choices, along with a few very short branching paths. The last book offers the reader three different paths, which lead to different ending.

My work inside Scribus was pretty basic. Mostly, adding the images ( all 3d images I've created and rendered + applied a sketch filter), changing font styles, using master pages. In then end, it's about 1,200 unique pages.

The final book in the series was released just a few days ago.

If any of you are curious about the series, here is the link to the first book.

Nice and interesting.
I'm the only one admiring the rats placement around the page numbering as they helped to spread the disease?
