Introduction
The project is to make an interactive fiction game based on M.J. Milbert's 'Picturesque voyage to Isle de France, Cape of Good Hope and the island of Tenerife'. The traveler's writings from the early nineteenth century during the French colonization of the island of Isle de France (Mauritius) contain vivid descriptions and interesting historical information. The game will allow the user to choose its own adventure but there will also be factual elaborations in the game. The book will be translated from French to English and the game will be developed simultaneously.
