The Diplomat Agénour attends the great procession to the Inauguration of the Machines. What unfolds there will change America - the Machine Republic - forever.

In July 1923, Nobel Laureate Romaine Rolland published an unproduced silent film screenplay in Vanity Fair magazine.

In 2019, that screenplay entered the public domain.

This is an interactive fiction adaptation of that screenplay.

It was written for the Gaming Like It's 1923 Jam.

Very interesting source, and a great adaptation! Thanks for sharing - I liked the subtle "click to expand text" mechanic and you used it really well here. I will definitely recommend it to my friends and followers who love old school sci fi.

Thanks for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was an exciting find to come across the screenplay, that's for sure.
