Defend Napoleon's heir in this political romantic steampunk adventure

Defend Napoleon's heir in this steampunk alternate history game of political maneuvering, airship adventure, and romantic intrigue! Will you bring liberty to France, or plunge Europe into bloody war?

"The Eagle's Heir" is a 200,000 word interactive novel by Amy Griswold and Jo Graham. It's entirely text-based, without graphics, or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Since Napoleon won the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, seventeen years ago, Europe has enjoyed an uneasy peace. While the great empires of Austria, Russia and England have tried to stem the tide of revolution, France has mastered steam power to conquer the air and sea. Now, Napoleon’s health is failing, and France is torn between his legitimate heir, Franz, and his illegitimate son Alexandre.

Luckily, Alexandre has you, his loyal bodyguard and childhood companion, skilled in the arts of the duel and the ballroom, and ready for anything from diplomacy to airship combat!

It's brother against brother as you choose who will rule France, and how. Will France have a king, an emperor, or become a republic? Can you guide your lifelong friend Alexandre to the throne, and keep not just your prince but his revolutionary ideals alive? Or will you throw your weight behind his half-brother Franz? Will you defeat France’s enemies with the thunder of airship guns or forge a marriage alliance in gaslit ballrooms?

This was great. It is very short, and I would have adored a little more focus on the romances, but the replayability value of this is incredible. And thia coming from a person who is not much for replaying. The amount of endings is enormeous and a bit frustrating (I just wanted a happy ending with this one guy and it was hard as hell to get it.) Anyway, great work.

One of the better interactive stories I've read, but the ending felt a bit rushed. It had a good pace up until the heir is named, then everything just ended. I also wish there were more moments to raise your stats. It appears that once you choose your initial abilities, you're pretty much locked into whatever percentage you have with no opportunity to increase anything

I played the entire thing and it felt way to short. If there had been another ten chapters to fully flesh out the game then I would have loved it. The concept was great, I really enjoyed where the story was going but then it just ended so suddenly. Overall if I could go back I wouldn't have spent the $4.99

I got this when it first came out and I was very excited as I love period pieces. The steampunk was an interesting addition. However, I barely got through the first quarter of the game and I won't be doing a replay. The story ended up being rather dull and it completely put me off when I had to reaffirm what 'gender' my character was multiple times. Maybe next time you want to be politically correct dont make it so freaking heavy handed it ruins the story. Especially in A PERIOD PIECE with extremely new ideologies. Although seeing as it is becoming a very common trend with your games I might just save my money and stop bothering.

For a game that's about the French Revolution, there's hardly anything in the beginning of the story about the French Revolution, but every other choice is about whether I'm a boy, a girl, or if I'm undecided. Then the next choice is whether I know I'm a boy but prefer being a girl, or if I prefer being a boy, or if I'm undecided, or if I'm a girl who knows she's a girl, or if I'm a girl who thinks she's a boy, or if I'm both... Come on, really?!? Can there be some aspect of life where liberal politics and the LBGT agenda aren't shoved in my face at every turn??? I just wanted to play a choose your own adventure game, not question whether is gay, or hi, or straight, or something else.
