I'm pleased to announce the interactive spy novel There's Always a Madman: V.I.C.T.O.R. now has a free demo available to play on Steam here:
The demo is released as part of the currently-underway Steam festival for spy video games, the Spy Video Game Rendezvous (running May 15th - May 22nd):

And a release date trailer was just dropped for the game as well, as part of the Spy Video Game Rendezvous 2026 Direct (you can find the trailer in the SVGR Direct linked here or on the game's Steam page linked above):
There's Always a Madman: V.I.C.T.O.R. is a single-player interactive spy novel where you play as a group of madmen coming together to eliminate their shared nemesis, the great secret agent Franklin Benjamin. In the four prior games in the series, you played as this legendary secret agent and foiled each of their individual plans. Now, you take control of the other side and try to coalesce a coalition of madmen to get revenge on the only man standing in the way of world domination! Can it be done? Can he actually be beat?
If you're the type of person who prefers to start from the beginning of a series, then I have good news for you - the first four games in the series are all currently on discount for the SVGR festival. Or if you prefer to just dip a toe in, all five announced games also have free demos, so you can try any of them (or all of them) out for free!
Because there's always a madman, and you're the best agent we've got!
