The King of Shreds and Patches is a novel-length work of interactive fiction. In it you will explore an historically accurate recreation of Elizabethan London, circa 1603, interact with some fascinating characters both historical and fictional, and if you are clever and lucky, thwart an occult conspiracy that threatens to bring down the entire city - or worse.
