Heavens' Revolution

Harness Forbidden Alchemy and Spark a Rebellion in a Persian Steampunk Empire!

In a world of steam and sorcery, will you use your alchemical mastery to rebuild a celestial ship or command a colossal war machine? Fan the flames of revolution, crush dissent, or dance between both as a cunning double agent?

"Heavens’ Revolution: A Lion Among the Cypress" is an immersive retro-futuristic fantasy novel by Peter Adrian Behravesh, where your choices dictate the fate of a Persian-inspired empire. Spanning 270,000 words with countless branching paths, this text-based adventure thrives on imagination—no graphics, no sound, just pure storytelling power.

Trained in arcane astralchemy, you stand at the crossroads of science and sorcery. Brew gunpowder, craft intricate automata, concoct life-saving elixirs, and rediscover lost celestial secrets—perhaps even repair a skyfaring khalicraft or awaken a towering war-mech. The old knowledge whispers to those bold enough to listen.

The city of Seyj teeters on revolution’s edge. Fifty years ago, the She’ri Empire conquered your world, overthrowing its rulers and imposing colonial rule. Your blood is both conqueror and conquered—where do your loyalties lie?

As a conscript in the Royalist Army, you’re sworn to defend the imperial satrap… yet the Rebel Uprising grows louder, urging you to join their fight for justice. Will you stand as a loyal soldier, a daring revolutionary, or a shadowy informant playing both sides? One misstep, and you might find yourself at the mercy of a shamshir’s edge.
