What perfect timing for a new thread: Darius has outdone himself again. There truly is never a dull moment with this Dutchman. His words speak volumes. His actions shake the earth. There may never be another man able to surpass him. He has ascended to godhood. This game changed my life. Before it, I was depressed and suicidal. My wife left me years ago because of this. My kids hated me. I wallowed away my grief with alcohol and prostitutes. I raped many, many children. Then, one day, I found this masterpiece of a game. By the end of it, my wife had come back to me. My kids loved me. The children forgave me. Even my childhood dog came home after running away as a pup. This was all because of this storygame. I highly recommend it to anyone who is suffering. This storygame will change your life. — Suranna on 7/5/2023 5:23:38 PM with a score of 0 On the 900 word masterpiece, "This stupid storygame"

I'm curious... Did the puppy run away because it was also raped?

Darius is just getting all the attention with his latest story.

Citing a headache for something as fucked and quarter-assed as this feels like when the author of My Immortal said Gandalf Potter called some middle schoolers motherfuckers because his head hurt. I would have accepted cholera or the suffering of cancer treatments as an excuse, because those at least have the potential to take someone out of commission for the duration of a contest. But this is no justification! No justification whatever. Also fish don't have teeth you fucking clod. I mean they do but they're tiny little pharyngial ridges and cleaned by swallowing, they wouldn't be bloody the way big ass mammal teeth get.

It was good. I enjoyed the flexibility and variety of choices. I wasn't really expecting to die, but I suppose it makes a lot of sense. Honestly, there's no way I would survive a life like that. Simply because I don't like to die, but apparently I have morals and therefore must die anyways, I wish I could have been rewarded more or had some kind of benefit from spreading my skill set out a little more, but then again, it makes sense how that didn't help me becuase if you're just average at a bunch of things how can you beat another person's specific skill? Anyways, I enjoyed it. I aslo enjoyed the ability to go back and redo some things- let me see that there was really nothing I could do at that point and I would die basically no matter what. Definititely pulled me into the story and was very immersive. I suppose that I just don't like dying without any hope for the future. The ending didn't leave me feeling satisfied or resolved. Just kind of abrupt. Most stories have a happy ending- then again. I suppose that's kind of the point of having a story where you die. Despite my bitterness about dying (which I laugh at even now), good job, bravo to you, and best wishes on your further creations.

Briar's been getting a whole bunch of comments on her story in general recently.

Yeah, I really should have written a happier ending where the protagonist actually survives, but as all POF players know, there is absolutely no way of surviving in Innocence Lost... Hence why there are no sequels. ^_^

Hey, I'm sorry about that comment. I found the site, played the game (absolutely amazing writing by the way), and then there was a comments section at the end, and I kind of just wrote what I was thinking in the moment (naively- of course- as I had obviously never played any other online CYOA games before). After playing a few more, I think I understand them how this site works a little better. . . and yeah. Sorry about that.

It was just a funny comment, there's nothing to apologize for.

The origins of choice based stories like these just happened to be printed books that killed you a LOT. The plot branches all have to end somewhere or they'll multiply forever, and given the situations the characters are usually in, death endings often make sense. Well that and they're just traditional

Most of the storygames here do have winning endings. Price of Freedom is a stat based storygame though and some outcomes depend on whether your character develops the right skills for the challenges they face.

It's the summer of '18. I'm 13 years old. I wish to spend my computer time playing choose your own adventure games. I come back to the site where I read all those weird warrior cat fanfictions. I think, "Hey! I like love stories. I'll check out some of the ones in the Love & Dating section." I click on Wheeler & Brandt LLP. I ignore the maturity level. I obtain my first exposure to BDSM. I shoot myself 3 times in the head.

My partner, Swissyoutuber is so handsome. He cares about me. He thinks about me. He loves me. I think about him too. He caught my eyes. He's inside my mind. I think I love him so much. He loves me too. I hope he'll come for me. I'll wait for him. I'll always be there for him. Suranna ❤ Swiss Cheese

Who still wants to be a supervillain

Can someone commend that comment of Petros. It's a good thoughtful one. I couldn't even manage to complete the first part.

And Petros, buddy, you haven't written a story about a supervillain yet lol.

After going through and obtaining all four Epilogues, this remains one of my favorite "choose your own adventure" type stories I have read this multiple times over a decade, and it never fails to keep me enraptured. Good job mate.


Not funny, I just thought it was very wholesome and sweet.

With Chuck and Pippin deleted the site has lost one of its true classics.

Just saving a couple of reviews here so that historians will know what they missed.


Ogre:

This. Was. Amazing. There was so much rich detail on each and every page. The story just flowed so well it felt you wrote this just for me. The main character, Chuck, was so well-described he felt completely real. And the magic? The magic was woven into the world in a way that just made sense from the second page. There might have been some inside jokes there, but they were so carefully woven into the details of the world and the story that you couldn’t really be sure. Oh, and the world? Yes, this world feels like the result of a world-building that has taken years to clearly think through, develop, and work. People talk about how writing should include realistic worlds and ensure that things are consistent throughout the world, and this story really does that better than most. There were good options, and the puzzle was simply brilliant. This was a unique way to implement a puzzle with the CYS interface that I’ve really never seen before. It took me quite some time to figure out the puzzle, I was really stuck for a long time (sorry, no spoilers, you’re going to have to figure it out yourself). It was worth the wait, as the story beyond the puzzle continued along with rich storytelling and lots of excitement. The story really built throughout, making me not wanting to stop reading until I found the end. I may have ended up staying up way past my bedtime because I simply could not stop reading until I had found my way, along with Pippin and Chuck, to the end. I want to live in that jungle home with Pippin and Chuck by the serene pond.


DBNB, insightful as always and quick to get to the heart of any story:

Your writing is masterful as always,Ford. The storygame itself is dense with content and choices, and it kept me entertained until the very end. I couldn't help but be curious in all of the possible outcomes and decisions that are so neatly and wonderfully placed in this story. I have to say that I enjoyed every minute of this story. I'm tempted to say that you have outdone yourself, but your writing is always consistent in just how good it is. Thanks for yet another wonderful read, I eagerly anticipate the next storygame that you may create. Be it some inspired sequel to this storygame, or something completely different altogether. At this point I think that it is safe to say that it is only right for me to look toward to your next piece. The level of care and attention to detail that you place into each of your stories is always a treat to read and enjoy. Thank you once again, for writing this wonderful and enthralling story.
