A downloadable book

Two port cities frustrated with bureaucracy between the two nations finds a loophole to seal a trading deal between themselves. All that remains is to sign the contract which a key is needed to do so. Not everyone is keen on the deal being completed.

Trade winds of Ajaire is an entry for the Micro Gamebook Jam March 2021 https://itch.io/jam/microg

This is a straight forward narrative driven gamebook.  It has no gameplay mechanics aside from writing down a variable name when asked to. Some choices requires a specific variable to be written down to take that path. So have some paper handy. (Well there is only two variables so im sure you can remember)

This story is written in third person rather than the traditional second person. It has three possible endings. And the style is, you direct the story rather than the main character.

I have re-uploaded both files to fix a broken path which was at Section 2 having an option to goto 7 when it was suppose to be 17.
