Punch out Fascists and unravel conspiracies in this explosive pulp adventure set in a wild 1930s world of airships, fast cars and two-fisted action!

Cliffhanger! is a 320,000-word interactive novel by William Brown. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination. It is set in a fantastic Art Deco version of the 1930s in which an amazing scientific discovery has changed history and unleashed humanity’s wildest dreams and most dreadful nightmares! Airships criss-cross the skies, masked daredevils clash with sinister masterminds, and every day brings something new and extraordinary. You are Challenger of the Tomorrow Institute and you stand among the foremost adventurers of this era, whether your reputation is based on your amazing gadgets and inventions, your mystic powers, or your sheer grit and daring.

Play guitar with Django Reinhardt and Duke Ellington, party with Texas Guinan and the Aga Khan, drink whiskey with Al Capone, swap ideas with Hedy Lamarr, and shoot Hitler in the face!
