About
The corpos are after you. The cops are, too. Even your ex has crawled out of the grave to try and get you back. Meanwhile, the fate of the galaxy itself rests on a knife's edge, and only you can bar the doors of hell.
Whiskey-Four is a standalone 396,000-word interactive novel by John Louis. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
You are a retired contract killer from the Anomalous Interference Unit. Injured on the line of duty, you were forced into an early retirement--only to be reactivated on a distant frontier world to address a horrific, unknowable threat.
A great sense of malaise permeates the void. Something big is stirring, something that jeopardizes the entire galaxy.
You're the only person in position to stop it before it's all too late.
Too bad everyone else wants you dead.

Reviews
The choice is relatively limited in this story, so that might count against it for some. That's not to say there is none though, and I think it's enough to justify the format; being able to personalize the experience fit the story well, it is really a very good story, well worth the asking price and the time.
Do I recommend this game? HELL YES! The author somehow topped the glory that is I, The Forgotten One. And that's really saying something. John Louis, I kneel. It's also a probably unintentional homage to DELTA GREEN, a tabletop RPG where you're a government agent fighting off eldritch abominations. Suffice to say, if you're a fan of Lovecraft, the X Files, Delta Green, the Call of Cthulhu RPG, Delta Green or all of them, you're gonna love this story. Cannot recommend it enough. 11/10

建议把磷手榴弹留到最后。 不错的IF,时间间隔五天左右,挺快节奏的,而且对于战斗场面描写非常带感。MC简直是超人,打起架来感觉比FHR的MC还猛,,本来是奔着做恨的RO买的,也许是因为时间跨度较短的原因,没有很做恨的感觉(?) 推荐!
Sci-fi from the future with equipment from 1990. Embarrassing and stupid. They can do interstellar travel, but the only other thing they have is a dumb mobile phone. The story and plot were written by an idiot.
Had a really good time with this one. It's one of those games that just pulls you in, and I ended up playing for way longer than I meant to. The story is well done, with some memorable characters and a world that was genuinely cool to discover. Everything felt pretty well put together. I'd easily recommend it. Looking forward to whatever the developer makes next.
This was a fun read. For me the draw was less the shooty shoot bang bang (which was ok enough) or the plot (which was solid though nothing groundbreaking) and more the talkie talk: I found the characters amusing to interact with and I did love the drama with U. The concept of the anomalies was pretty cool too imo.
this is fantastic, genuinely. I've been reading stuff from Hosted Games for over a decade and this is one of the best. Really makes me remember why I love interactive fiction so much
Muito bem escrito. história muito boa. vale a pena. mas o titulo deveria ser ao invés de Whiskey Four, deveria se chamar o soldado mastigado, pois minha nossa.....o que esse meu personagem passou não foi brincadeira, resistência fora do comum. Parabéns pelo jogo.
ITS SO PEAK
Fantastic storyline that had me gripped through out!
