1337: A Game Novel About Gaming is an interactive serial novel computer game released in 2010 by <a href="http://real1stgames.com">, makers of the hit haXX0r alternate reality online game. The game combines elements of both a empire simulator, first-person shooter, and role-playing game. It is notable for integrating Jungian archetypes into the RPG programming and for making use of web 2.0, user-generated NPCs. The principle author for both the coding and the story is currently unknown.
The player joins a clan in the year 1337 A.D. as either a footsoldier to King Edward III of England or King Philip VI of France. Early gameplay involves traditional MMORPG gathering, exploring, and leveling-up tasks, which culminates in a ganking battle with the level's main boss.
Reception[edit]
The game was reviewed by Gameology Magazine in late 2009 by David Breskin, a name which was later discovered to be fictitious. Gameology Magazine has not been available for comment on this matter. The supposed reviewer gave the game 3 1/2 out of 5 stars, concluding "1337 is scary real."
