You have a djinn in a bottle. Make your choice! Will you defeat the dragon, or dethrone the emir? Or will you release the djinn and face the outcome?
"The Dragon and the Djinn" is a 710,000-word interactive Arabian fantasy epic by Athar Fikry, where your decisions shape the narrative. This text-only experience—free from graphics or sound effects—is powered entirely by the boundless force of your imagination.
The city of Ghariba lives in fear of a dragon—the same beast that killed the city's former emira. Now, the new emir, Alaaeldin, sits on the throne. He hosts extravagant feasts for the elite while unrest simmers among the people—and the dragon's attacks grow more destructive with each passing day.
You've arrived in Ghariba searching for your sister. She took the enchanted sword you forged, believing it is her fate to kill the dragon.
But destiny finds you first. Jaafar, the Grand Wazir, entrusts you with an extraordinary and perilous gift: a djinn bound to fulfill your every desire. (You may wish as often as you dare! Continue wishing until the djinn grows weary, twists your words, and turns your wishes against you.)
Now, with a djinn under your control, every faction seeks your support. Use your intelligence, rhetoric, strength, and magic to navigate the politics of the palace, the city, and lands beyond.
How will you spend your wishes? Will you defend Ghariba by aiding your sister? Will you take on the dragon yourself? Will you heed those who see the dragon as sacred? Can you uncover the truth behind its sudden arrival? Or will you exploit the turmoil to become Ghariba's wealthiest soul?
