Wizard Confidential is an interactive urban fantasy noir novel by Anthony Eichenlaub, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based, 207,000 words and hundreds of choices, without graphics or sound effects, fueled by the vast unstoppable power of your imagination.

Seattle, 1927. You're a private eye in a city drenched in secrets. Bootleggers run speedboats over the border to supply speakeasies and jazz clubs; gangs shoot it out in dark alleys; and the coppers are even more crooked than the crooks. Crime isn't the only thing lurking in Seattle's misty streets: there are werewolves, vampires, and wizards. The wise citizen avoids the dark.

Too bad for them that you're not wise enough to back down - and that you're a darn good wizard yourself. You crack the cases that nobody else can, and right now, you've got some big ones. City Hall wants you to investigate an out-of-town union leader who's much more than meets the eye. The Dry Squad wants you to help track down a notorious gang of bootleggers before the Feds move in. And you? You want to find your partner, who's gone missing under circumstances more mysterious than any of your other cases.

But bigger than all those other problems put together is the rogue wizard who's been popping up around town. Who is he? Why does he always appear just when something major is going down? What does he want? And most importantly, what does he know that you don't? The city's future is at stake, and you're the only one who can save it.
