Short description

About this game
Turn the page. Choose your path. Break the story. Inspired by the legendary choose-your-own-adventure books of the 80s and 90s, the Playbook series brings the magic of classic interactive fiction into the modern digital era. In "The Meridian" , you step directly into the shoes of a driven reporter working for The Meridian, a prominent news outlet in the heart of Milan. A massive investigative scoop is within your reach, but the newsroom is a battlefield of ambition, secrets, and unspoken desires. There are no right or wrong answers—only choices and consequences. Will you ally yourself with the brilliant but ruthless Filippo to advance your career? Will you impress Irene, the formidable editor who respects courage but despises laziness? And how will you navigate your complex, blooming romances with your female colleagues? From Sara and her mysterious notebook, to Giada the undercover gamer, to Mara and her untold secrets—your relationships are in your hands. Key Features: Classic Gamebook Feel: A nostalgic, text-driven experience that puts YOU in the driver’s seat. Every tap and click turns the page to a new branching path. Dynamic RPG Stats: Your choices directly impact your core stats: Writing , Relations , and Intuition . Use your skills to unlock hidden dialogue options and secret paths. Intense Newsroom Thriller: Balance your professional integrity with your personal ambition. Expose the truth through the gritty streets of Milan, from Sempione Park to underground darkrooms. Multiple Romance Paths: Deep, branching relationship arcs with a diverse cast of women (Irene, Sara, Giada, Mara, Claudia, and Rosa). Who you choose to trust—and love—changes the story entirely. High Replayability: A complex web of decisions leading to numerous dramatically different endings. Replay to uncover every secret and see how every choice reshapes the newsroom! (You can unlock all the achievements/endings in the gallery!) Are you ready? The deadline is approaching. Turn to the next page...
