What Makes Saga of the North Wind Stand Out
The gods have chosen you to lead your tribe on a deadly pilgrimage to the Valley of the North Wind! When future generations recite your saga, will they sing of your glory or your downfall?
"Saga of the North Wind" is a 300,000-word interactive fantasy novel by Tom Knights, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Your people roam the Great Steppe, chased and challenged by the fearsome Tribe of the Black Wolf. Their leader, the shaman Zhan-Ukhel, calls forth savage magic from Chernobog, the god who rules their tribe. Your tribe must have a leader who can call down protection from the gods. That leader is you, and this is your saga.
Rule your tribe as an iron-fisted chieftain or as a benevolent guardian. Will your allies support you on the field of battle? Will the gods come when you need them most? Do you even need the gods to smite your enemies, or will you seize divine power for yourself?
An eerie glow dances across the stars tonight, stars that bear your name. Listen, now, to the Saga of the North Wind!
• Play as male or female, gay, or straight
• Become a shaman of the spirit world
• Fight the ancient, powerful force, Chernobog who rules your enemies
• Battle in the arena or make a daring escape from captivity

This Adventure game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We just finished our first play through of this game, and we truly enjoyed the experience. The writing is great, which isn't something you can say about every CYOA game. Our only complaint is that the stats (and what affects them) feel really obfuscated.
Could not stop playing this game. So in depth and addicting, we highly recommend it.
Worth the money! It's a bit pricey, but this is our favorite Choice Of game. There are so many storylines to explore, and the ending will definitely get you wanting to play again.
We play all of the Choice of Games interactive novels, and this one is awesome.
This is exactly what these types of games should be. We replayed this and it was still good. There are certain channelized paths, but this in no way seemed to diminish the replay value. We recommend this without reservation. The one thing we wish for this and other games of this type is that the character could be carried forward into another adventure, even if it were in another timeframe.
This text game is extremely Immersive you feel bad when you mess up and great when you make a good decision very fun gameplay.
This is one of the Choice Of games that we really feel like we'll be playing again and again to see all the different endings and stories. Loved every bit of it.
We really love this game! We would give five thousand plus stars if we had the choice. We so love games from Choice Of Games so much that, even in our sleep, part of our dreams are about what would happen in the next game! So thanks for bringing Choice of Games to us!!!!!!!!!!:-).
Devoted at least a few hours to it so far, only found one or two paths, almost completely divergent from each other. New experience each time, definitely worth it.
We've always loved the "Choice of games" for as long as we can remember having an iPhone. This story is no different. This is the first review we've made for these games if we can recall and we can say that we are once again, completely satisfied with yet another title of their games (Saga of the North Wind). We would HIGHLY recommend giving it a chance and try the other ones too. These guys are definitely one of our favorite developers of all time for iOS games. Very immersive and entertaining story. Don't forget to check out their other works too.
Feels like one of those epic fantasy pen and paper rpg modules from days past. Good writing. Definitely worth giving it a try.
An incredibly engaging story, we are so happy we bought this game. Our only major critique is that we wish a couple of the characters were a little more fleshed out. However the adventure itself feels like a true epic, and more than makes up for any tiny shortcomings. We can't wait to play it again.
We absolutely loved this game, the storytelling is amazing, the detail is amazing…. Everything… Just amazing! This is a MUST read.
We appreciate the intricacies and length of the game. The fact that one has to really think about their choices isn't found in a lot of COG apps. Not sure if we like the mechanic where the stats of the advisors affect which suggestion they'll give you; kinda messes with the way we view their character. Also a bit disappointed in the romantic gameplay; we wish there was more to it.
We own pretty much all their games and although decent, there are much better ones out there for the cost. The story is very much the same no matter how you play with maybe a couple paragraph changes. We've personally played through 14 times to try and achieve the reincarnation ending but have only received the lesser ending all 14 times. Overall it's well written and fun to play a time or two but not one we feel you can keep returning to time and again.
