Whiskey-Four

Can you save the galaxy from itself, or will it consume you first?

The megacorps want you silenced. The authorities have issued a warrant for your head. And your ex—yes, that ex—has clawed their way back from the shadows, hellbent on either reclaiming your heart or burying you beside it. All this, while the fate of the entire galaxy teeters on the edge of oblivion. The doors of hell are cracking open, and only you stand between order and annihilation.

"Whiskey-Four" is a standalone, 396,000-word interactive novel by John Louis. Entirely text-based—with no graphics or sound effects—it thrives on the limitless power of your imagination.

You are a former contract killer from the Anomalous Interference Unit. A career cut short by injury and forced retirement. But now, on a remote frontier world, you’ve been reactivated to face a threat beyond comprehension—one that defies logic, warps reality, and threatens to unravel the fabric of the galaxy.

A deep, unnatural malaise spreads through the void. Something ancient and immense is awakening. And you’re the only one who can stop it—before the clock runs out.

Too bad nearly everyone else in the universe wants you dead.

• Choose your character: play as a man or woman, and define your sexuality—gay, straight, or bisexual.
• Forge fleeting connections or lasting bonds in a world spiraling into chaos.
• Rekindle a lost romance—or finally put it to rest.
• Scavenge and manage limited supplies to survive against overwhelming odds.
• Battle corporate assassins, elite SWAT units, and a dangerously obsessed ex-lover.
• Select one of three distinct body types—each shaping how the world sees you and altering the story’s path.

Attempt to save the galaxy. But don’t forget: you might need to save yourself first.
