Added DiffLines:

Diaspora is a ChooseYourOwnAdventure Game written in [[Creator/ChoiceOfGames ChoiceScript]] about a clan of people forced to flee their homeland and establish themselves elsewhere in the world.

The Cine, of which the Player Character is a part, are traditionally a raiding culture, accustomed to theft and piracy as a way of life, meaning that few will welcome them as neighbors. Throughout the story, the PC will have opportunities to shape the perception of their clan, as well as the direction their people will take with their new settlement. Will you stick to traditional values at the steep diplomatic cost that may entail? Or, against the advice of your clan’s leadership and some of your close friends, will you try to change the very fate of the Cine, their role in the world around them?

The first seven chapters are [[https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/diaspora-wip-updated-12-22-18/26738 available to play here]].
