--

A fantasy themed choose your own adventure, The Talisman lets you take control of history. Play as either Ishka or Avani in their search for answers about their pasts and families.

Ishka has been isolated from civilization for as long as she can remember. What really happened to her people to banish them to the frozen wastes of Segura? Will her quest strengthen her ties to her family or break them apart?

Avani is the son of a man with a big reputation. He stumbles across Ishka in his own quest to prove himself, however, it's questionable if they both want the same thing. Will he follow in his father's footsteps, or will new truths sway him from the path he set out on?

***This game is the first draft of my first attempt at diving into the world of visual novels and mobile gaming. While I plan to continue the story, add more visuals and improve upon the UX design, it is currently available to download as a demo for my portfolio. This entire project was created solely by Hope Brandes in 4 months as her senior thesis project.
