## What is Choice of Robots?

The robots you design will change the world! Will you show them the true meaning of love, or conquer Alaska with your robot army?

"Choice of Robots" is an epic 300,000-word interactive sci-fi novel by Kevin Gold, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Play out thirty years of your life as a brilliant robot maker, from graduate school near the present day to a future in which your robots have changed everything.  Depending on your choices, your robots may be independent or obedient, clumsy or graceful, empathic or cold…and you yourself may live to an old age happily married or alone with only robots to comfort you.

Play as male or female, gay or straight, with nine characters to romance, four alternate climax chapters, and over seventy achievements to unlock.

• Build a unique robot character—you choose everything from its shape to what it calls you
• Instigate or prevent a robotic uprising
• Teach your robots to love humanity, or disdain it

### 5/5 — Love it. More please.

*2025-12-29*

I’ve literally been playing Choice of Robots for years and have enjoyed seeing all the little updates. 

Choice of games makes great material. There are several other of these narrative games that I’m looking forward to playing again

### 5/5 — It’s beautiful

*2025-02-14*

I’ve “played” (more like lived) this game fully through thrice and every time it was a unique special experience. Thank you to whoever made this game. I could not recommend it more.

### 5/5 — Terrific!

*2024-07-27*

A wonderful game that I come back to play, often.

### 5/5 — Absolutely incredible

*2024-07-12*

This game is super immersive for being a text adventure, has compelling characters, and is more relevant than ever with the rise of ChatGPT. Would recommend to anyone who likes robots or sci-fi.

### 5/5 — Very creative and fun

*2023-04-30*

This game provides a wide range of paths to follow, and an engaging narrative. There are hints along the way of how your choices are setting the stage for possible outcomes, but it’s not so predictable as to be boring or feel like a puzzle you need to solve. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — One of the best COGs

*2022-12-29*

Really well written, lots of different pathways, love interests and endings. I’ve played this game many times over the years and always come back to try and explore different routes through it. Would very much recommend :)

### 5/5 — Recommend this game!

*2021-12-08*

Really fun, I enjoy watching the choices I make influence the world and the story is immersive and enjoyable.

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2021-10-08*

This is a beutifully crafted journey. I couldn’t bring myself to put it down until I’d played all the way through. This game perfectly balances intelligent prose and fluid pace. It’s engaging, philosphical, and emotional, in all the right quantities. Actually came away feeling like I’d had my perspectives altered a little. Excited to play again from the beginning, and to see what else these developers create in the future. Perhaps this is a bit of a gushy review, which is really not like me, but I’m genuinely so impressed by this game.

### 5/5 — Oddly satisfyingly attracting

*2020-10-31*

Honestly it’s a strange feeling to be attracted to a character. My play through it felt like I was making choices that only I would make and the little one I would be raising. At times I thought I hope nothing bad comes to my robot, and you hope the robot loves you as much as you put time and thought into your choices. It really is a lovely game.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect.

*2020-08-05*

Game is complex, interesting and has many unique endings. My only issue was the fact that they try and tell you that IQ is racist three different times depending on dialogue choices.
