Description
Steal and raise a baby war gryphon! Will you fight dragons together to save the empire, or defy the empire and lead your people to freedom?
"Runt of the Litter" is an 150,000 word interactive fantasy novel by Kelly Sandoval, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
The gryphon keepers hold all the power in the Empire of Vaengrea. They make the laws, patrol the borders, and only give gryphon eggs to their chosen heirs. As a poor stable hand, a "thrall," you know you'll never have a chance to prove yourself.
But then, you find the egg. Small, neglected, nudged out of the nest by a disapproving mother. But you can feel warmth growing inside.
Now your gryphon is in terrible danger, both from the other gryphon keepers and from a deadly plague that's wiping out the Empire's gryphons. Can you keep your gryphon safe? Where will you hide your new hatchling? Are you skilled enough to hunt its food or clever enough to steal it? Which of the gryphon keepers can you trust? How will you shape the young gryphon's mind?
Wyrm riders invade from the north on their fire-breathing dragons, the natural enemy of the gryphons. Will you and your gryphon fight in the war, seizing your place among the elite? Or will you defy the empire and lead your fellow thralls to revolution?
Can you keep a runt gryphon safe with the whole world against you? The life of your gryphon, and the fate of an empire, is in your hands.

AMAZING
It’s 2021, the boring year. I just found this game a week ago and I LOVE IT it is rich in story and truly beautiful. There are so many ways that you can really make to story change. You can be a mean selfish thrall only wanting to have everything for themselves or you can be a kind supportive thrall who’s everyone’s friend. And there are many more options too! You can have many different breeds of gryphon (for those of you who do not know it is just another way to spell griffin) (my favorite is personally the Owl-snow leopard, I named her Snowsong)And for those of you who play this game and love it like me, games from then I would recommend are “Choice of the Dragon” which is free, and a kitsune fox-spirit game (sorry I forgot the name) which is about the same price as this one. Anyways, I’m sorry about the lengthy review, I just felt like there was a lot to say. If you got a bit bored and just skimmed the whole review, here is the short review:
Short review: I highly highly recommend this game to any fantasy lovers. I think it deserves 5 stars.
DOWNSIDES
Just telling you all, this game can be hard, especially because you can just click the wrong thing on accident kind of easily with a new update of swiping to choose.

Again, so sorry for such a lengthy review, I’m not sure if it will even let me post it, but I again, had a lot to say, even if I repeated myself a bit. I hope this helped!
Excellent
Very well written! The fantasy world is an excellent backdrop, and explores the world of human and griffins well. I've played multiple times, and each time discover more about each of the characters.
One of my issues with other stories released by Choice of Games: the gender you choose for the main character affects the gender of other characters. Since gender does affect how (and what) a character will say, this created some unlikely dialogue. This story avoids that trap: it has well drawn supporting characters who have distinct personalities, no matter the gender of the main character.
I look forward to more stories by this author!
Breathtaking
I luv this game I replay it all the time. (SPOILER ALERT) My fav story was when I had a secretary and cheetah gryphon I named Quickfeather and had a romance with arvo and discovered the cure to dropfeather. Overall great game.
