User Reviews for Choices: Stories You Play

Best Storytelling app (More artistically stylized stories please!)

I really love choices, and it’s definitely the best storytelling app out there. I even don’t have too much issues getting diamonds, since they have daily rewards and you can just play stories you’re not as interested in to build up your stash, although it can still be annoying. I also really appreciate the variety in genres, namely the more action-adventure and fantasy stories with their own interesting mechanics. My favorite stories are the ones that go a step further with the art style, like Hero and Endless Summer. I find the more cartoony art styles to be so beautiful and refreshing, and I’d love to see more that! (I am begging 🙏) I find the added diversity in art elevates the ranged catalogue, and gives various stories more of a unique identity. It’s also great to see the stories become even more lgbtq+ accommodating, stories featuring trans characters, even letting you play as a non-binary character yourself in the newer stories. I do wish some of the models had more androgynous options, however (for example if I play as non-binary with a male body type I still have to look super masculine with broad shoulders and only short hair options). I remember downloading choices for the first time right at its start, when it only had 3 stories, and seeing it grow and develop has actually been super cool. I’m eager to see what new heights are reached.

Everyone has a similar opinion, Devs

The game is absolutely amazing and fun. I would recommend everyone to play it. I wish there were more adventure stories similar to The Crown and the Flame or Heist: Monaco but that’s just me. The general opinion is that diamonds and keys make everything a little annoying with diamonds being the only way to get a full filling experience and keys restricting your ability to play. This could be fixed by adding a direct ability to watch a ads for diamonds and raise the maximum keys on your account to 5 and drop key gain rate to 1 or 2 hours. This would make things so much smoother and make the experience better as a whole. I know you want to maintain the income from people purchasing diamonds and keys but maybe that could be worked around with VIP by raising the diamond gain from 2 additional diamonds to 4 and making a wider selection of VIP books of all genres that are entirely free (no diamond purchase in them so you have full freedom)****Also you guys should offer a story submission system with upvoting and everything so stories we really want to see be put into the game can be voted for and shown to you guys***PS. What’s with the censorship on nudity? Like the scene is being described with two people “completely naked” but it shows up as them just in undergarments. I mean most of us who play are well aware of what a human body looks like so why bother censoring

Diamond suffering

Choices has, by far, the best story telling and art for a Visual novel app out there, but it’s suffering severely in the lack of diamond earning. I put it down for months out of frustration for how much it cost to get through a single chapter. You have to spend weeks of time playing unrelated stories, that you also can’t really enjoy or don’t have interest in, just to earn enough diamonds mid chapter of your favorite story. You can’t even replay old stories to earn diamonds? So even if you blitz through a book to earn diamonds so you can go back and experience the diamond choices, you waste a ton of time and keys because you can’t earn diamonds replaying the book. An entire book doesn’t even cover the cost of the majority of a SINGLE diamond choice! At this rate, we will have to go through EVERY story released, using no diamonds, just to finish a favorite book and get the various scenes. I’d suggest holiday diamond earning bonuses or sales. I’ve seen a daily “wheel spin” or “loot box” suggestion that could be great too. Something to incentivize coming back to the app every day, or splurging on a sale, and not just to scroll carelessly through a story that doesn’t interest you just to collect a couple diamonds per day. I love the stories, I just hate how incredibly pricy and irregular the diamond costs are. 30 diamonds for an early hangout scene (Dean in RoE) but 17 or so for an actual romance scene? I don’t want to talk about the cockroach situation.

5-star worthy because of ONE story

I’ve read many of the books on Choices, some quite dull, others adequately entertaining, and others that are very well done. However, this app is worth 5 stars for one reason and one reason only: Bloodbound. What a masterpiece and a real gem that cuts through the noise of mediocre storytelling that is all too often found on choice-based apps like these. It’s vampire fiction done right, not even remotely resembling the mindless ‘Twilight-esque’ drivel that should not even exist. BB is beautifully written and executed with a compelling plot (despite a couple plot-holes throughout that can easily be forgiven), well-crafted lore, and fascinating characters. I am extremely picky with what I read, and I couldn’t have been more impressed. So many of the ‘teehee, I’m in high school/college, which love interest should I choose?’ type of stories are beyond tiresome to me, and BB was truly a breath of fresh air. I must of course echo other reviewers in terms of the diamond situation - the price of them is absurd, and Pixelberry knows it. It would do the company a service to lower the price even just slightly. The silver lining though is that on many of the books (and most certainly BB) the premium choices aren’t skimpy or lackluster, and really enhance the stories, especially in Bloodbound. So at least there’s that. But again, mad props to BB’s writers. Keep hiring writers like that and you’ll have more amazing epic stories to be very proud of!:)

This is THE ultimate game

I love this game! It’s super addicting but the only thing that bothers me is the diamonds. Yes I understand that diamonds can and SHOULD get you clothes but I just don’t like that sometimes you have to use diamonds for your choices. Sure you get a bonus part and stuff like that but it’s like- in reality I would never pay someone to do something (besides HAVING to pay like at a carnival, mall, etc). I love this game because all of the stories make you dig your nails into the couch of wherever your at. The stories always have the choice if you want romance in your book with your choices or not. They will give you the option if you want to flirt with someone and usually if you do your relationship would change. The outfits are also amazing. But I think you could lower the price on them a bit because that takes me days of trying to collect 25 diamonds for an outfit that I love. I have played and deleted this game over and over and over again. This game is almost better then Tic Tok. Reason I deleted this game is because of the addiction. It also makes you read which is great especially since kids don’t go to school on the weekends. (Parents) You can read them a book off of it, or have them read it themselves and you can do so many fun things with your child. So as I said, so many possibilities, amazing game. Good job Pixelberry for creating one of the best games ever. Just please fix the diamonds a bit. Thanks for reading.

CRAZY ABOUT CHOICES!

I’m borderline obsessed with these books. I’ve played them all! Every story is different from the next and, being a writer myself, I really appreciate all of the character development. There’s no question that a lot of thought goes into the customizing, the art, the music, and the dialogues. My favorites include The Freshman (makes me feel young again LOL), Royal Romance, and the newer books like Desire & Decorum, as well as Perfect Match. Once you get into it, the characters really come alive and It’s hard to stop playing! I discovered Choices about a year ago, and very quickly went through all the stories. I gave them 5 stars because they’ve truly mastered the art of virtual reality and I would absolutely die to work for Pixelberry someday! My only complaints are that I’ve paid more than I can really afford on diamonds, and you have to wait anxiously for new chapters and books. Like someone mentioned in another review, I would much rather spend $10-$20 on the app at initial download, rather than pay as I go. Or even offering 2-5 diamonds after watching an ad instead of just 1. Heck, I’d even watch more ads if it meant earning more diamonds! Otherwise, Choices is brilliant and beautifully done. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, and I’ve learned a lot about myself through these characters- as cheesy as that sounds. These stories are never dull, and contain a lot of twists and turns. I highly recommend Choices over any other competitor apps! Loveee!

Just the best

Choices, without a doubt, is the best game I have ever played. I have had it for almost a year and still look forward to new chapter being released, and reread my favorite stories. Choices’s books have taught me so much about family, relationships, love, and the importance of making a choice. Our choices truly do define us, which I think is the whole message of the game if you could boil it down. Have you ever wanted to attend a school of magic? Find love in Jane Austen’s England? Captain a star ship? Seek vengeance in Ancient Rome? Become a superhero? Marry a king? Fight for your crown? Or just try to survive high school? There is a book out there for everyone, I promise. However, If you only play one book series, please play Endless Summer. Inspired by the tv show Lost, this book is a tear jerking, heart string pulling, hair raising, mind bending beautiful adventure that I cherished every minute of and cannot wait to re read. Anyway, do yourself a favor and get this game. It sure changed my life. Thank you Pixelberry. p.s. Many people complain about the diamonds and yeah, I sometimes wish there were less choices that require diamonds each chapter (Across the Void is notoriously bad at this) but there are plenty of games that only have one or two diamond choices per chapter, and you certainly don’t have to spend any diamonds to enjoy each book. I have never spent any real money on this game which has not hindered or lessened my game experience in any way.

BloodBound Part II

Choices It’s a wonderful addition to the older app episodes. I think that so far the riders for this app are extremely talented and it will go really far. One thing that I think that Choices can work on is making the choices that require gems more realistic. There are certain things that we shouldn’t have to pay for and I understand that you have to make a profit, but the people that use this app also have to pay bills. This app is extremely amazing and I absolutely love it.?There are so many things for so many people, and there’s always something that you can do. If you like to scream your head off there are stories for that. If you like to laugh there are stories for that. If you want to fall in love with the characters there are stories for that. If you want to go on an adventure there are stories for that. So again there’s something for everyone. One thing that I want to talk about is the story Blood Bound. Choices writers NEED to have a part two because that is my favorite one and there is yet to be an update while there are new stories being written and other stories getting updated I think that Blood Bound should get updated as well. Choices will have you hooked until the end. The stories are amazing, the characters are amazing and have very diverse personalities. I personally think that anyone who tries this app will fall in love immediately.

Loyal reader for years!

I don’t even remember when I started playing Choices but I know forsure that I have been here when they only had less than ten books. Of all of the story games I’ve played, Choices has to be my favorite one. The stories are so well-written and compelling. I’m so invested in most of them. I’ve had my gasping/jaw dropper moments during a twist, my laughs, my cheers for a prevailing character, or occasionally even a curse towards the antagonist(s). Personal favorites: Perfect Match (genius concept!!!), The Junior (SPECIFICALLY this one for the ATM storyline), the Bloodbound series, the It Lives anthology, and Love Hacks (underrated series). Notable mention: Endless Summer’s artwork was BEAUTIFUL. I tell my friends about the stories sometimes, they’re all so good! I feel like I’m reading visual novels more than just playing a game. The artwork and soundtracks have definitely also progressed a lot. I love that they have so much diversity when it comes to sexuality and ethnicity! I hope future updates will allow for different body types as well. For a while I was using the option to buy diamonds and get 120 initially and earn 10 more a day for, I think 40 days? I didn’t realize that the option disappeared when you stopped renewing it. I’d love for that deal, or for other similar deals, to always be available! Anyways, mad respect for Pixelberry. I really hope they turn some of these stories (*cough* Perfect Match) into feature films one day!

Best Storytelling App of This Kind

Honestly the people who complain about not being able to collect gems fast enough clearly haven’t played Episode. If you want to talk about money-hungry, they literally don’t start you off with any gems, and give you hardly any rewards. Choices starts you off with butt-loads, and not only that, it has a “gift” system where you can play plenty of ads, and also get rewarded just for logging onto the app daily. Using this system I feel I have gotten plenty of in-game currency for free, and-I must add-their choices are far cheaper than anything on Episode or similar apps. Seriously, 20 gems for one choice is a steal with these games.I also like the stories a lot better. I feel like Episode (wow this really turned into an Episode rant sorry) is largely geared towards romance, which simply isn’t my thing. Choices, in my humble opinion, has a far better selection of sci-fi, fantasy, and thriller stuff to keep you interested.My one point of contention, and this is minor, is that if I am comparing the two apps, Episode does have the better graphics. The characters on Choices range from looking decent to looking…not great. This is the one thing I would request the company to work on. But of course, the characters looking a little weird sometimes is a small price to pay for an overall good app that isn’t money-hungry like all the rest.
