Episode Choose Your Story is a graphic novel-style game that invites you to become some kind of a coauthor for fascinating stories of different sorts and genres. Moving through the plot as the main character, you will be able to make decisions that will change the course of the story and lead to different alternative outcomes. Aside from the fact that every story can be replayed several times to discover all the endings, there are also so many of them that you surely won’t be short of options!
Once you enter the game, you get into a huge catalogue containing all kinds of stories offered to players. The first page contains the most popular ones – these are the stories that have already been tried by other players before you, repeatedly, and received the highest ratings. You can safely launch them knowing that they are worth your attention. There is also sorting by genre that will help you narrow the search down to some specific categories – for instance, detective or love stories. And there is also search by keyword allowing you to quickly find a story that fits even the pickiest taste – for example, by typing in ‘pirates.’ Now all you’re left to do is to select one and start playing!
Each story in the game begins with a short introduction. It will tell you some basic information about the setting (time, place and so on) and the main hero. Then you will follow through a sequence of cutscenes with partially animated elements and characters. It looks much like a comics strip where some parts of the drawings are moving. The design is really stylish and beautiful, and you will surely enjoy it if you’re one of those who are looking for the game to be aesthetically delightful as interesting.
In each of these cutscenes, you will have to make some kind of a choice. It can be a phrase that you have to choose in the dialogue window or some action that you will have to select and perform. Every time that happens, you will open a new alternative branch of the narrative, and the outcome will be quite different from the one you would have gotten if you chose, for instance, to ignore the person who said hi to you rather than say hi back. Replaying the same story, you can discover multiple possible endings of it. Isn’t it just riveting? Immerse yourself into the entire universe of Episode Choose Your Story and have a great time!
