Game/Book Hybrid on Kindle - Dusk World

First we had books, then we had games. Now, Amazon has a new type of interactive content in the Kindle store: "an Interactive Adventure", which looks like a cross between a comic book graphic novel and a game I might play on my Nintendo DS (or a graphical version of the interactive fiction games made famous by Zork and Infocom). Dusk World ) ($5.99) doesn't list an author and has apparently been created by Amazon themselves.

Book Description
Which path will you choose? It's up to you to claim your destiny...

Dusk World is an interactive story for Kindle devices that combines interactivity with a graphic novel. The story takes place in Dusk City and combines crime, mystery, superhero and classic noir elements to create a vivid landscape full of colorful characters for you to interact with. The choices you make as Agent Patriot will lead you down different paths that determine the fate of both Dusk City and the world, not to mention Agent Patriot himself.

As Agent Patriot - super-powered chameleon, reformed mob enforcer, war hero, convict framed for double murder - you must explore the gritty underworld of Dusk City in an effort to clear your name and find out who set you up. Not only can you read and enjoy the captivating escapades of Agent Patriot, but you can experience them firsthand in this thrilling initial installment of the Living Tales series.
