Life as a Lich is a 200,000 word interactive novel by Adrao, 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. It is a sequel to both one of the endings of Tokyo Wizard and one of the endings of Raiders of the Icepeak Mountains, or it can be played as a standalone game by creating a new character.
Embrace being a lich, living an immortal life to research powerful spells and manage your underworld domains and minions. Will you dedicate yourself to the research on how to become a demigod and abandon your skeletal form? Or will you decide that life as an undead is not something for you, and seek to reincarnate yourself into a mortal form? Are you an evil lich, seeking to kill and enslave all in your path, or a benevolent necromancer trying to help those who worship you? Is companionship and love something that you seek in undeath, or will solitude and the search for power fill your soul?
