That hosts a number of CYOA-type stories, although they are not made by any sort of gaming company... so quality typically ranges from crap to meh, although there are a few good ones there.

It's a nice platform however if anyone else wants to write a similar CYOA type game.

Also, as far as interactive fiction in general goes, I recommend the following websites:

So, TMD asked for some recs in Discord. Here's my thoughts:

1) This is just the list of the one's i've playe.d There are a lot more and potentially good ones, but the ones below are what I've done. The quality ranges from Sufficienty Velocity Tier to DLP Tier (but these are rare).

. Now for my reviews of the ones I've played (Listed in order of best to worst)


-Choice of the Cat: You're a cat. 5/5.

-Gold Rose Book One: Really well written. Interesting Historical Fantasy. Cool characters. Very slow pace and build though. Low magic so far. 4.75/5
-Choice of Rebels Uprising: Grim Fantasy, but really amazing world building and characters that are great. It feels like Braveheart mixed with blood magic and fantasy. Still waiting on the sequel...4.75/5.
-Sabres of Infinity/Guns of Infinity: Steam Punk/Napoleonic History fantasy story. You start as a young aristocrat joining the army. Involved in a war as an officer. by Paul Wang. 4.75/5
-Tin Star: Strong Western. Really long, but really well writen. 4.5/5
-Mecha Ace: By Paul Wang, one of the better authors/creators here. I give this one a 4.5/5. Mecha Sci-fi story, but lots of fun with customizing your mech and a good story.

-Way Walkers University: The most Harry Potterish version imo. Really good Lore building and the characters feel real. 4.4/5
-Hero of Kendrickstone: By Paul Wang, A DnDesque high fantasy. Lots of different stat choices. Enjoy it and it's sequel Cryptkeepers of Hallowford.. 4.25/5
-Choice of Magics: A really fun high fantasy magic story. Goes deeper than it seems at first. 4/5
-Creme De la Creme: An interesting and mysterious high society story. Lots of good choices. 4/5.
-Lord of Aswick: The best non fantasy medieval one. You are a young nobleman from birth to death. Become a knight. engage in politics. etc. 4/5
-EverTree Saga: DnD inspired, starts with a cool mystery in Evertree Inn and ends with Lux. Lots of great choices and potential paths. Good lore. Interesting characters. 4/5.
-Lost Heir Trilogy: A fun high fantasy story with lots of management, good characters. Plenty of choices to be made. You can fail and die. 4/5.
-Life of a Space Force Captain: Better Scifi than most. Good choices. Interesting world. 3.75/5

-Vampire World of Darkness ones range from 3.5-4.5 imo. Some good. Some meh.
-Samurai of Hyuuga series: I'm not really sure how I feel about these. On one hand they are interesting, on the other hand they don't allow as much freedom as other choice games and it is very, very anime. 3.5ish.

-Community College Hero: Fun ride, but kinda simple story. A bit creepy at times. 3.5/5
-Heroes Rise: It's been years since i played this trilogy. I remember the concept being a lot of fun, but there are some definite annoyances over the course of the story. I'd give it a 3.5/5
-Choice of the Deathless: A pretty fun ride. More humorous, but the theme of an attorney for demons is pretty fun. 3.5/5

-Affairs of the Court: Choice of Romance: A pretty fun romance and court politics one. 3.25/5
-Showdown at Willow Creek: Fun Western 3.25/5
-Choice of Broadsides: You're a sailor. Ship based combat. 3.25/5
-Choice of Dragon: Simple. You're a dragon. 3/5
-Wizards Chioce: Generic Wizard Adventure
-Choice of Kung-Fu: Kinda simple, but fun KunFu ride. 3/5
-Choice of Vampire: Vampire Romance in early american history. Feels more like a historical romance than vampire story. 2.5/5
-Choice of the Vampire: Fall of Memphis: Sequel to above. Same deal. 2.5/5
-Choice of Star Captain: Generic Sci-Fi. Annoying Companion. 2.5/5
-The Fleet: Generic Sci-Fi 2.5/5
-Choice of the Ninja: Remember this one being super genric. 2/5
-Marine Raider: 1/5. Super dumb military.

 

War for the West is pretty good. Very expansive and you can follow a lot of distinct paths to their end, so lots of replayability.

Tally Ho is extremely well written. It's premised on being a PG Wodehouse novel you can control the story of, and it's pretty well executed. May be a hit or miss depending on whether you like that type of humor. This one has the servant as the MC, while in the sequel it's the master.
