Take command of HMS Foraker, a crack 38-gun frigate. Train your crew, face wild storms and sudden crises, and prepare yourself for the ultimate challenge: a showdown with a powerful enemy warship.

Return to the world of Choice of Broadsides as a veteran captain in the age of sail! Take command of HMS Foraker, a crack 38-gun frigate. Train your crew, face wild storms and sudden crises, and prepare yourself for the ultimate challenge: a showdown with a powerful enemy warship. HMS Foraker is an 85,000 word interactive novel by Paul Wang, 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. Take Command of HMS Foraker, a powerful sailing frigate. Manage your crew to keep them at full combat readiness. Deal with smugglers, slavers, and other unsavoury characters for tactical advantage or personal gain. Do what must be done to ensure victory, or curry favour with your superiors back home. Tackle storms, accidents, and a dozen other random events. Tread the thin line between bravery and cowardice, cunning and foolhardiness. Win glory, riches, promotion, a knighthood, or even a noble title. Play as male or female. Will You Steer Your Crew to Glory?
