A new interactive comic book engine that allows the player to become the superhero and choose their own path via a stylized comic-like interface has been developed by Tin Man Games. The company, best known for its Gamebook Adventures and Fighting Fantasy adaptations, will soon be releasing Steve Jackson’s classic gamebook, Appointment with F.E.A.R., in a new and exciting digital comic book format.

Appointment with F.E.A.R. is a Fighting Fantasy game book turned interactive comic that has many possible endings that make both success or failure a possibility.
Hardcore Droid: "I love the classic gamebooks from the 80’s. I fondly remember the furious back-and-forth page-turning to see which decision would be the best one, the fingers jammed into various places in the book to mark important decisions that could be revisited, and the sheer wonder at the fact that I could play a game in book. So I was excited about Australian studio Tin Man Games’ adaptation of what was probably one the most innovative and interesting gamebooks I have ever played, Steve Jackson’s Appointment with F.E.A.R."
Grab It is reporting that the next title from Fighting Fantasy developer Tin Man Games is coming out this week.
Looks like a very different take on the Fighting Fantasy series, but the past games by this dev have been excellent so well worth a look.
Probably up there with my favourite Fighting Fantasy books when I was a kid. My favourite would have to be the one based in a car, which I can't remember the name of.
I'm constantly amazed by the breadth of content that Tin Man Games takes on. Really looking forward to this one!
The F.E.A.R. fighting fantasy collection, never got into it. Definitely worth a look see though, especially if Tin Man are taking it on.
