The Road to Canterbury
Step into the medieval world of *The Road to Canterbury*, a 175,000-word text-based adventure inspired by Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. Your choices shape the story as you join a pilgrimage led by Philippa de Roet and Geoffrey Chaucer himself. Navigate political intrigue, forge alliances, or spark rebellion while balancing loyalty to England or France during the Hundred Years’ War. The game challenges you to win a prestigious storytelling contest, navigate moral dilemmas, and redefine your character’s fate—whether as a knight, merchant, or traveler. With no graphics or sound, the experience relies on your imagination to bring London’s 1375 setting to life. Explore diverse paths: aid an assassin, ignite a revolt, or uncover family secrets. Every decision impacts history. Will you secure the prize, reshape the war, or find love on Watling Street? Play as any gender or orientation, and let your voice echo through the ages. Immerse yourself in a tale where narrative power drives every step. Experience a journey where words alone build worlds.
