At this Friday’s book launch party for Imminent Dawn, I’ll be debuting the beta version of a choose-your-own-path-style game tentatively titled EMPATHY: Madrugada.

If all goes well based on feedback received during the launch event, I’ll be releasing the game shortly thereafter!

In anticipation of the beta’s release, here are some screenshots from the game in its current state.

You’ll be able to play as Chandra in the game’s first edition, with more characters to come!

Use the cerenet and EMPATHY to interact with real characters from Imminent Dawn!

Confront foes and forge alliances with the other characters you encounter!

Visit real places from the novel as you attempt to escape the research compound!

There you have them—teaser images from EMPATHY: Madrugada. Ready to play? It’ll be released to the public in a few weeks, but those who attend the book launch party will have the first opportunity to navigate the research compound as Chandra, Imminent Dawn‘s protagonist!
