Will you save the galaxy from itself, or will it destroy you first?

Corporate agents are hunting you. The authorities are on your trail. Even your former lover has clawed their way back from the dead to reclaim you. As chaos looms, the galaxy’s destiny hangs in the balance, and you alone stand between reality and ruin.

"Whiskey-Four" is a 396,000-word standalone interactive novel by John Louis. Crafted without graphics or sound, it is driven entirely by the limitless force of your imagination.

You are a retired contract killer from the Anomalous Interference Unit. Wounded in action, you were pushed into early retirement—only to be called back for one more mission on a distant frontier world, where a terrifying, incomprehensible threat awaits.

A deep sense of dread fills the cosmos. Something ancient and immense is awakening—something that imperils all of known space.

You’re the only one who can stop it before time runs out.

Too bad the rest of the universe wants you dead.
