Choices That Matter - Epic text adventures & choices

CHOICES THAT MATTER presents a series of grand text adventure games reminiscent of the iconic Choose Your Own Adventure books (CYOA).

We periodically introduce new content, ensuring our narratives are among the most intricate in the CYOA genre. Each player's experience is unique, as it’s impossible to uncover the entire storyline in one playthrough. After finishing a narrative arc, you can see how many others explored the same locations as you did.

Are you prepared for an unparalleled text-based gaming experience?

Tips for Choices That Matter

Experiment with Choices: Replay sections or stories with different decisions to uncover new paths—every choice branches the narrative uniquely.

Prioritize Story Goals: Focus on objectives hinted at in the text (e.g., investigating the sun’s disappearance) to progress efficiently, rather than chasing every side detail.

Save Tickets Strategically: Use free choice tickets (earned every 3 hours) or watch ads for more, but save them for critical decisions to avoid interruptions.

Buy the Story Pass: Skip ads entirely with a pass—it’s worth it for uninterrupted immersion in these long tales.

Track Consequences: Note how early choices (e.g., alliances or risks) ripple later—small moves can save or doom characters.

Engage with Companions: Interact thoughtfully with Moti (AI in Sun) or other key figures; their input often guides smarter decisions.

Restart for Clarity: If a story arc feels confusing (like Sun’s dense opening), restart with bolder choices to unlock clearer exposition.

Compare with Others: Check the end-of-arc stats to see where other players went—use this to find missed paths on replays.

Pace Yourself: Spread out playtime across the massive word count; rushing can dilute the weight of tough choices.

Adjust Settings Early: Bump up font size in options for readability—don’t squint through the tiny default text.
