Choices: Stories You Play

Decline in Quality This used to be my favorite app, now it’s filled with “stories” that look AI generated with no originality. I miss when this app had good writing (and actual writers, it seems).

Awesome I started playing again, and forgot how cool it was, wish they had more options for appearance but it could be just limited in the book itself. I also wish they would bring back high school story, I would blow my money on that game now that I’m all grown. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING IT BACK, it would do phenomenal now that the younger generation is grown and able to play. The type of serotonin I received from that game is Genshin and Love and Deepspace for me now, but I would 100% drop those games if high school story came back :(!!!

Day 1 supporter deleting I’ve played this app since it was created, as I was a fan of the writers from SHH. I had VIP since the day it was introduced. But since the AI company acquisition, the app has been run into the ground. It’s truly awful quality all around, and the Run.tv slop nonsense was my last straw. Deleted the app for good

Very Disappointed I’ve been playing Choices since literally day one, when it was only The Freshman, The Crown And The Flame, and Most wanted, and it’s so disappointing with how they’ve turned out. No one wants AI. The Hero “sequel” being an AI generated “show” was the last straw I will probably be cancelling VIP soon.

fall from grace What used to be easily the best option for choose your adventure type games, is now just AI slop made to churn out the worst quality content to make money with the least amount of effort. Literally every book now has an ai cover, the same characters, same story structure really. Terrible company/developer who sold their soul and passion because they were too lazy to build their own stories. If you’re going to get this game, just play Endless Summer. I come back every once in a while just to do that one cause it’s the best thing that has ever come out of this game and is a prime artifact from a time when these losers actually put some effort in. Just play that or HSS or Crown and the Flame or another one of the originals that came out in Choices’ early days, which was also its prime. Don’t bother reading any of the new ones, you’ll lose brain cells.

For those who stumble upon this. Do not waste your time on this. The app isn’t what it used to be. It used to be a collection of effort by storytellers and artists putting their passion onto digital pages. Now it hangs by a thread using AI to generate little animations where you have absolutely no choice or control in anything happening. They DO NOT listen to feedback no matter how much their marketing team says it does. They stole the namesake of an existing fangame calling it their own and with that goes many devoted players with it. Screw AI that is all. Goodbye. -a long time player who started in 2017

It Hurts to See. I’ve been playing for nearly ten years now, and this has been one of my favorite games, but it’s gotten so lazy. The best qualities of it are gone, the writing and art replaced with AI that can’t even manage a half decent storyline, and the recreating of past books with AI is terrible. Abandoning creative ideas like the It Lives anthology or the Heist is terrifying especially just to produce unoriginal slop through AI. I feel terrible to know I’ve spent money on this game only for the artists to be replaced with an image generator. It’s a shame such a good app ended up so badly.

Choke on your own balls You guys suck. I used to love you guys back in the day the stories are good and real. The royal romance series, high school stories freshman OMG, what happened go back to your roots if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

AI..? First they used AI to make the posters, now they’re using it to make the stories? There are people spending $15 a month for the membership just to read stories that were made by a computer. Really disheartening and unfortunate honestly. There’s no real passion behind any of the newer stories.

Irritating I actually used to really like this game. It was such a fun way to relax and unwind with a game where you made the choices. Unfortunately, after years of playing I find I’m no longer drawn to the app for a few reasons. One being the new books just feel repetitive of the old ones or of stories that are told time and again. I find the plot lacking and the stories unenjoyable. Two is the way they keep pushing out new stories yet discontinue or scrap older ones due to “low player engagement” despite how good they were or how they were left in a cliff hanger FOR A SEQUEL that will never be written because they rather profit over enjoyment nowadays. Third the firing of several of the artists and staff despite the app being around for ten years is a gross miss step on the companies part. I get wanting to go ins new direction but to fire excellent staff for AI is ridiculous especially when all these new “AI” stories are terrible. Overall, the game is not as fun as it used to be and will probably be a waste of your time.
