Field notes

The first adventure, The Baron's Dungeon, puts a princess beneath Castle Grimhold and names soldiers, hounds, a hungry kitchen, and a partly sleeping dragon among the obstacles. The page says readers can turn back at any time and look closely for hidden choices; it estimates each run at 20 to 40 minutes. Book 1 is disclosed as AI-assisted, while the next book is described as being written by hand.
