Notable Features

• Not IF; barely CYOA. The player is presented with a menu of seven options (for instance, 1228 - Holy War or Jihad?); each of these results in a massive textdump explaining a historical situation, followed by some brief speculations about 'alternatate history' (sic). The player is then returned to the menu.
