Updated on October 23rd at 19:50: Cubus Games has got in touch to let us know that the release of Necklace of Skulls earlier today was a mistake.
While it was live on the App Store earlier, it has since been removed and is no longer available to purchase and download.

We've asked Cubus when me might expect Necklace of Skulls to be released (again).

Original story follows...


Cubus Games has released Necklace of Skulls on iOS today, which is its next gamebook after the spine-chilling Silver Award-winning Heavy Metal Thunder.

As we noted before, Necklace of Skulls is a digital adaptation of part of Dave Morris's Virtual Reality series of print-and-paper gamebooks.

In it, you play as a warrior, huntress, wayfarer, or sorceress. Your task is to avenge the death of your brother at the hands of a demon-wizard known only as Necklace of Skulls.

It's a story that combines Mayan history with fantastical elaboration.

This digital version of the game features art by award-winning illustrator Xavier Mula, an original soundtrack, and save game features.

You can purchase Necklace of Skulls for £1.99 / $2.99 on the App Store right now. An Android version should be on the way, as far as we know, but isn't out yet.
