Geneforge Instructions

Welcome to the exotic and exciting world of Geneforge! Geneforge is a fantasy role-playing game with a science fiction twist. It is similar to other games of the genre and, at the same time, utterly different. You will explore the ruins of Sucia Island, making allies, uncovering secrets, gaining power, and creating an army of powerful, loyal, and expendable creatures. You will uncover a sinister conspiracy and then decide whether to defeat it or join it. Geneforge’s plot is completely open-ended. You can be a good or bad guy. You can make the big choices and change the world, or run in fear. You can help the little people, or you can crush them ruthlessly. The choices are all yours. This guide will help you create your Shaper, develop your first skills, and go out into the world. Before you start, it’s a good idea to check the Helpful Hints section. The advice there is very useful for playing the game. Also, bear in mind that Geneforge is shareware. The demo contains the first 17 out of 77 sections. To play the rest, you need to get a password from Spiderweb Software. To learn more, read the section titled How To Order. Finally, have fun, and keep an open mind. Nobody in Geneforge is as evil as they seem. Or as good. Explore. Adventure. And do what you want. Good luck!
