Earlier this month marked the three-year anniversary of my first game, Stranded. Another three-year anniversary is coming up this month. July 29th of this year will mark the three-year anniversary of when the game, Mystery Of The Rebels, was released. It was the second game that I had released, and it’s inspired by several books that I had written. This is a point-and-click interactive mystery game where you make choices in order to solve mysteries. There were several things that were inspiration for the game. One of those things was an old board game. The game features several mysteries and minigames to solve. The stories that inspired the game are from the series Rebel Of Destruction, and its main focus is on a character named Oliver, who is a descendant of my most prominent character who is actually a son of one of the original characters of the book series, Union Of Sorrows and the game series Stranded.
Most of the mysteries are centered around Oliver and other characters within the stories. As of now, there are three games in the series, with a fourth one that is still in the works. The first game is based mainly on the ninth and tenth story in the Rebel Of Destruction series.

The mysteries in the game were based on events that took place in the books, and the mysteries involved Oliver, his wife Claire, and their son.
There are also minigames and scenes which occur in between each mystery that tell a separate story. Though at first, the story may not seem to be connected, it is, just not in the way that many would expect. The minigames feature characters that are separate from the ones that are in the mysteries.
There are also puzzles within the game that reveal other hidden mysteries. The second and third game of the series is based on The Boss series, which is about Oliver.

As of now, there are a total of seven books within the series. Within that series, more characters were introduced, including another one of Oliver’s sons named Vincent.
There are also elements from a non-public series, The Newest Attraction. As the game series progresses, more will be introduced from that series.
A teaser for the game series, called 57 was released in September 2023. Its focus was on an incident which occurred in November 1957 involving one of Oliver’s sons.
