Read first?
01
When to read first
Read both novels first. The game is built from them, and Amber's reveals are the whole pleasure of those books.
02
When playing first is fine
There is little reason to play first unless the books are already familiar and you want the 1985 parser version.
03
Why
Bookware from this era adapts the plot and then asks you to type the next move. The typing is optional. The plot is not.
