I miss the era of choose-your-own-adventure books. When I was a kid, I had a well-thumbed copy of… something with a wizard on it, filled to bursting with traps and terrors and treasures. It basically required you to memorise the entire thing beforehand to even stand a chance of making it out alive, and was in all likelihood probably quite terrible, but I still have fond memories of it.
Imagine my joy, then, that Arkane's latest little marketing push ahead of next month's release of Redfall is a choose-your-own browser game set in the titular town. Take Back Redfall is playable for free right now on Bethesda's site, and sees you play as one of Redfall's four protagonists—Layla Ellison—in her quest to take down the Night Manager, a vampire who was at the back of the queue when they were handing out foreboding villain titles.
