About Somme Trench

You're a fresh British infantryman at the Battle of the Somme, one of the longest, bloodiest battles of World War One. Can you survive a clash that kills almost twenty thousand of your countrymen on the first morning alone?

"Somme Trench" is an interactive historical novel by Andrew J. Schaefer, 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 best bet might be as an airplane gunner, or a trench fighter, or even as a stretcher bearer. Firing squads, brothels and homeward-bound steamships are all in your possible future. Or you might give in to your inner demons and wind up chatting with ghosts and skeletons as though they're your friends. Whatever path you choose, you'll be immersed in a richly detailed, interactive historical novel that has almost as many twists and turns as there were soldiers at the Somme.

• Immerse yourself in the world of the Western Front
• Choose paths as diverse as infantryman, stretcher bearer or aircraft machine gunner
• Learn about some of the most important events of world history
• Challenge your mind
• Enjoy a richly-detailed interactive novel with countless storylines
• Solve mysteries embedded within the game

Q70%
by Q####:

Somme Trench is a rare CoG that doesn't take you across worlds or have you learning magic incantations. It slaps a rifle into your hand, blows the whistle and dares you to survive. The mishmash of battles and downtime moments, confronted with the supernatural, are chaotic, tense, frightening and gruesomely written. It's a title that takes striding efforts to be faithful and respectful to one of the most savage wars in history. Let down only by a relatively short length and somewhat limited replay value.

This is a game that pages the genre into the realm of art. The writing is almost always top notch, the design makes replaying from different points of view fascinating. More a genre of literature than a game. I really can't offer enough praise to the developers. You really feel as though you are exploring history and humanity and any idea of score or victory fades. Very highly recommended.

You may or may not remember my previous review, which was quite critical of this game. After replaying it multiple times, I now consider this an engaging experience, if an occasionally frustrating one.

Amazing story, loved it! If it was made considerably longer though i'd be willing to pay, say, up to $50 for it. Loved this story. :)

by B####:

To short. I wish it went into more detail and had me go though each day and to have more choises in that day... It seemed more like reading a book other then choises. But each choise is very importent. About 3 hours of enjoyment.

It was short, when I begun to get sucked into it, it just ended, though I expected something like a good book, its my first experience with game books, I learned a lot about WWI, I enjoyed playing it(although sometimes the writing is too simple)

I loved the story and absolutely adore playing it over and over again. I do kinda wish there were more jobs if not for the awesomeness, at least for the the ability to see the war from even more perspectives of othet specialist positions.
