What Makes Cannonfire Concerto Stand Out
In an 18th century symphony of intrigue, your supernatural virtuoso performance begins an overture to war!
"Cannonfire Concerto" is a 190,000-word interactive novel by Caleb Wilson, 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.
You are the finest musician of the 18th century. Behind fans and opera glasses, audiences whisper that you are a bearer of Genius, a mysterious supernatural power to master your chosen instrument. At the brink of war, spies, generals, and royalty vie for control of the continent. Will you play them all like a fiddle? Who truly holds the strings?
Play as male, female or non-binary; gay, straight, bi, or asexual. For some, romance is a means to an end. For some, it's a sonata duet of love and sex. Perhaps both.
Will you and your Genius achieve immortality, or will the poisoned pens of critics slaughter your career? Will you overthrow the church, bringing forth a new era of enlightenment, or defend your kingdom from a secular invasion?
The concert hall is silent. The Cannonfire Concerto is about to begin.
• Play as male, female or non-binary; gay, straight, bi, or asexual.
• Confound the competition with your musical talent on the violin, guitar, or zither.
• Do you give a private concert, or are you really there to gather intelligence?
• Join Bonaventure Fox on his conquest for Meropa, or fight him on the side of Rienzi.
• Romance royalty, or rekindle your relationship with a childhood sweetheart.
• Rebuild the nation, or leave it behind to begin anew.
This Adventure game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Loved the character customization. Setting is rich, fun. Would love more in this vein but its a niche sell, isnt it? This is a fun game to role play espionage, romance, the arts. The major downside has been pointed out in other reviews; subsequent replays arent as rewarding simply because the types of endings dont change much. Its great fun to play around with the flavor, though. Helps when the writer knows how to set a scene. Great mix of grandiose and down-to-earth, so its not too somber (and therefore pretentious) or silly (theres still a nice sense of purpose). Should capitalize more on the musicjust go full ham on the theme next time and dont be afraid to iron out a greater number of endings, even if theyre short.
The detail in the writing of this choice game is absolutely enthralling. We replayed this story multiple times and depending on how we stated our genius and our instrument we had melodies running around in our Own head! Try it and you will be wrapped in this story. Totally unique and unlike any other choice story we've read ever! Nicely done.
Absolutely adored the story and characters. The game is also great for its replayability.
We were stunned by the choices and pure genius of the story,bravo.
It has been a while since we found a great choice game like this. The writing was nice and we liked the idea of the Genius. (we also felt some feels at the end of that. Been a while since we felt anything from these games. ).
Over all we enjoyed the game. We enjoyed the different characters and had no issue romancing anyone. As someone who loves clothing; we loved the challenge of the outfits. There wasn't much leeway in the storyline, so the replay wasn't enjoyed as much for us. Small choices did change a line or two in the epilogue, but nothing drastic. It feels like this is a new, first time thing for the author. There might be a possible bug in the game because when we attempted to play as a straight-female (we like to try all the options); the main female romance was always an option for us. We actually ended up with her (and lived happily ever after) without trying during one run- which surprised us.
Fantastic story. Very well written and gorgeous descriptions that made you feel like you were actually there. We will say that the replay ability is a little weaker since it always seems to come back to the same sort of ending. Plus it feels like there are times when options are put there that are impossible to access because of where you are in the story which is frustrating (romancing a character is VERY difficult and so far we've only been able to do it with one of them after a few replays). Still, it's a really engaging storyline and hope to see more different stuff like this from Choice of Games soon.
The choices don't seem to matter save perhaps at the end. The romance with the Countess was unsatisfying, and most of the characters were forgettable, indeed when they popped up later they were we unremembered. Effort went into the story, the premise had promise, but it was kind of mediocre in execution. The writer has potential, keep writing, just involve the reader more in what is going on.
