** OUR STORIES **

ADVENTURE 1: And The Sun Went Out

Approximately 600,000 words and 2,400 choices in total!

What if the sun inexplicably vanished only to return hours later? Investigate with your AI companion, Moti. Uncover conspiracies. Discover ancient religions. Travel the globe.

Find out who is murdering scientists and what this has to do with the random disappearances of the sun. This is your journey, and only your choices can expose the truth.

ADVENTURE 2: And Their Souls Were Eaten

You have a gift. With your gift, the dead are never truly gone.

But what if there is a dark side to your gift? What if there are those who can pervert your talent, and alter the balance of life and death?

Travel across a steampunk 1830s Europe, where metal is magical, giving powers to those who wear it. Learn more about your ancient gift and what it means for you, your family, and humanity. Uncover the nefarious plot to destroy all life... and fight against time to stop your enemy from destroying everything you hold dear.

ADVENTURE 3: And Their Heroes Were Lost

You wake up in a dirty prison cell with no memory of who you are. And, you're not alone. Who are the other prisoners? What are they to you? Are they your allies... or enemies?

Will you escape? Try to find out who you are? Why did the people who captured you steal your memories—instead of just killing you? Travel the world as you uncover the details of a past that holds many secrets, and a future that is in peril.

"What’s really innovative about Choices...unlike traditional gamebooks that have a definite end, Choices: And the Sun Went Out is a continuing gamebook that will be updated weekly, allowing you to progress through the story over time. As you make choices in your story, it will advance in ways completely differently than other readers when weekly content is added." - PocketTactics.com

### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing

*2026-07-07, version 4.2.3*

I’ve had this for only a few days and I’m already hooked!! The stories are intriguing and nearly impossible to put down. It’s like a cross between reading a good book and playing a good video game, you’re reading the story but also controlling it to an extent. Everyone in the reviews seems to be saying there are too many ads, but I actually have the opposite problem: there aren’t enough ads XD To clarify, I can’t watch ads to get tickets… I would happily watch several ads if it meant I could get a few tickets and blaze ahead, but it won’t let me. Yet even so, I wish there was a 6-star option, and I highly recommend this game to whoever reads this!

### 5/5 — Hübsches Spiel

*2026-07-01*

Gefällt mit sehr gut, spiele aktuell eine Story im Bus. Sehr unterhaltsam.

### 4/5 — Stories

*2026-03-12, version 4.2.3*

Great game, but few choices are made and it’s mostly story instead of choices. Also, wish they had more story options

### 5/5 — Best stories

*2026-01-17, version 4.2.3*

I saved earth

### 5/5 — Best Choose-your-own Adventure game. Period.

*2025-12-23, version 4.2.3*

Can’t recommend this app enough. If you enjoy story-driven, text based choose your own adventure games, it doesn’t get better than this. You get to pick from 3 stories— modern day apocalyptic, Victorian era espionage with alchemy and shapeshifters, or superhero mutants (think X-Men or Winter soldier over superheroes in tights) with some hints of grit & 007 vibes. A diamond in the rough. I’ve already played all three; two of them twice.

### 5/5 — Enjoyed every second

*2025-12-08*

Very interesting action-full storyline, characters are unique and choices are interesting. Also daily choice tokens and ads are fair, I was able to collect many choices by watching many ads before sleep every night. It really felt like a nice book that I was living in. 10/10 highly recommend

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2025-09-24, version 4.2.3*

### 5/5 — Nice work

*2025-08-22, version 4.2.3*

Great game you got here. It reminds me of those Lifeline games. I played that one “And their Souls were Eaten”. So fun. Keep up the good work guys. Thanks

### 5/5 — Underrated Game

*2025-07-13, version 4.2.3*

It’s been several years since I last played. I keep forgetting to continue. I absolutely love these stories and I love how you can see how your choices may have differed from other players. You get very immersed in the story and attached to each character. I think I cried when something happened to Moti. The stories are very well written. I need to continue and finish them.

### 5/5 — BANGERRRR

*2025-06-15, version 4.2.3*
