Fidelity
Psygnosis published this 1995 point-and-click. It is based on Pratchett's novels. Pratchett was talked into an original story that uses the whole series, and the central plot is loosely based on Guards! Guards!. Released for MS-DOS, Macintosh, and PlayStation, then Saturn.
Read first?
01
When to read first
Read Guards! Guards! first if that book's particular joke should land on the page before it lands in the game. The game borrows it rather than adapting it line by line.
02
When playing first is fine
Play first if you want a comic adventure and are happy to meet a loose version of that plot. The game was built as its own story, with Pratchett's blessing after an earlier adaptation had flopped.
03
Why
Loose on purpose. You will recognize Guards! Guards! if you have read it, and you will meet some of its ideas early if you have not.
