Bootlegger: Moonshine Empire is an immersive text-based role-playing game that transports players to the tumultuous Prohibition era of the 1920s. As a budding whiskey-runner from rural Pennsylvania, players must navigate the perilous world of illegal alcohol production and distribution, forging alliances, making critical decisions, and evading law enforcement. The game offers a unique narrative experience, allowing players to shape their journey through hundreds of choices that affect their character's relationships and power dynamics.
The game emphasizes character customization, enabling players to choose between male, female, or nonbinary representations. With a focus on storytelling, players face life-altering decisions that can lead to various outcomes, from becoming a feared gangster to a political figure. However, the text-heavy format may not suit everyone, and the absence of visuals can make the experience feel slow-paced. Despite these drawbacks, the rich historical context and engaging narrative make Bootlegger: Moonshine Empire a standout title for fans of interactive fiction.
