Sorcery Is for Saps
"Sorcery Is for Saps" is a 200,000-word interactive fantasy novel by Hilari Bell and Anna-Maria Crum, 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.
Will your powers save the cursed king--or will you turn traitor and seize the throne yourself? You can probably break a simple kindness curse, but there are dark forces at work and you may be in over your head before you can say “Abracadabra.”
Throw in your lot with scheming councilors, the attractive heir, or even go to work for the invaders. But whether you choose to save the king or your own neck, one thing is clear—this is your big chance!
Magic, power, or true love—which will you choose? In "Sorcery Is for Saps," you'll find it's easier than waving a wand.
• Be a hero or turn traitor, seduced by a sexy spy.
• Play as male or female, gay, straight, or bi.
• Steal a rival wizard's inventions.
• Fight the maniacal, mechanical, magical monkey.
• Power up for politics, succeed at sorcery, or just get really, really rich.
• Trade barbs with your snarky familiar. Or will you kow-tow to a sarcastic ferret?
• End up as a sorcerer, a royal councilor, a villain, or a mouse. (Literally. You can be turned into a mouse.)

IT WAS GOOD
Refreshing humor, Edit: Surprised by the amount of emersion, On my 2nd playthrough, very underrated story/game/book imo, Best mixture of elements of a game I've played! Good characters, drama Length is just right. I'd love to see a fallow up game!
This is the first time I have been disappointed with one of these games. The choices you make seem mostly inconsequential. The climax was a let down.
Fantastic little game. Pretty much didn't put it down until I finished it. It was nice little touch that your gender choice doesn't affect your romantic choices either. If I could rate it higher, I totally would.
Liking that the protagonist isn't immediately shown as some "Chosen One". The characters I like very much, as well. What troubles me is that the protagonist meets too many girls that he finds good-lookin'. The barely mentioned girl in the village, the Adriele(?), Camille, and Lily. All in two chapters. Still a good story though.
Just go and read Magium instead... It was far more interesting and the most important thing is it was free all the way
Rushed ending honestly kinda disappointing I feel like the first few chapters wasn't a great representation of what came next. Was still an overall good story with a few diverging paths.
Well written, loads of fun, and a few gigglingly gratifying moments among the way.
Well written story with a good number of interaction. Also very clever use of choicescript.
It shows how magic really works, or at least, how it would work if it were instantanious.
The plot drew me in! Played it through one sit through because it was so amazing!
I loved every second of it.
Its ok to pass the time. I've played most COG games, this one falls kind of in the middle for me, but for $3 its ok.
The storyline of this game was very good with an intriguing plot and interesting characters. However, the very brief ending left more of a epilogue to be desired.
This story is epic and it feels like choices truly matters. I don't know how the story changes with different choices, but so far it's great
I really like this. Comedy was good,RO perfect and have hard time selecting it.
Not my favorite but I did rlly enjoy it
Something fun to do while you're waiting. But somethings in the story are just there with no closing. Like: Who's this master?
The demo was nice and I'm rather interested in getting the full version, does it remain the same quality throughout the remainder of the story? How much of it is left after the "first two chapters"?
The humor is on point, the plot is engaging, I really enjoyed it!
I like these type of games but the "pay to play" aspect of the game completely turned me off.. true, it's just 3 EU but I'm sure the devs earn enough with the ads... So yeah thanks, but no thanks
Didn't purchase the entire story so i only got to read the first two chapters but let me tell you - it was a great two chapters :) i love the plot, the character you're playing is quite sassy which i enjoyed (as well as that Fergie 😉)
Great story, NOT free. Shame on the devs for not saying so in the description of the game. If you guys keep claiming they're free with only demos being free, I'll end up getting annoyed o er and over and tanking your reviews. Please stop wasting my time and data.
