Black Crown Project is Book Publisher First Foray into Games
One of the UK’s largest book publishers is entering into the video game space with the Black Crown Project.
Black Crown Project is a free-to-play browser game from Random House UK, with the emphasis on narrative. Writer Rob Sherman has been tasked with penning the story, which will not lead players on a linear path. You assume the role of a clerk at the Widsith Institute and must trudge through the Institute’s documents and archives in order to categorise their content, learning of many great, world explorers.
Microtransactions will also be present for those who wish to partake. Players will be able to acquire items and unlock story paths when they cough up some cash.
Just launched today, people can download the documents Mour Mour Mour and Lincoln’s Bedsheet to their eReaders.

How's things? I'm the video guy and would love if you'd watch the things I do like Debatable and For Your Amusement. I spend the majority of my days explaining why The Wire is the greatest TV show ever and clamouring for a Pop-Punk revival(c. 1994) whilst singing in my best Axl Rose-esque voice. Do not say professional wrestling is “fake” around me or, he’ll bore you with, what I like to call, “the risks they take”. Henrik Larsson is my hero.

Oh...and it's pronounced, "Cull-um".
