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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Amazing

This app is truly amazing. A lot of the story’s are really good and have amazing plots, Lis, twists, and villains. Not to mention their customer service is absolutely amazing. They always reply back in a day or two and sometimes even quicker than that. Earning diamonds in this game is very easy unlike other story games. Even if you aren’t vip you still have the option to earn 3 diamonds after every chapter, there is a daily reward of 4 diamonds for non vip players and you get two extra diamonds for every 3 chapters you complete. You also get 15 diamonds after completing a book. Unlike other story apps I have played, choices gives you the opportunity to replay the chapter at the end of every chapter instead of having to restart the whole book. Another great thing about choices is the variety. They have books about drama, books about being a single mother, horror books, thriller books, romance, mystery books, comedy’s and much more!! Choices is also very inclusive and most stories you have the option to choose your gender. You can also choose to date either men or women. Some of choices newer books like blades of light and Shadows, the cursed heart, and foreign affairs even give you the choice to play as a non binary character. Truly, choices is an amazing app and I recommend it to anyone looking for a story game!

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.

Great, but disappointing

I am going to get straight to the point. This is a great game, with very good storylines and graphics, but there are a lot of things in this game that takes out a lot of the fun. First, the keys. The keys are actually pretty all right, but two hours for one single key? Maybe one key every hour, or two keys for every two hours. The second reason is the diamonds. I know almost everybody complains about this, but it's true. The diamond count is way too slow and the price for diamonds is pretty high. It took me about a month to get me a least 50 diamonds, and that's if I played two stories twice a day. Please make the diamond count maybe two every story, a way to get premium choices, which would take every three days for a 15 premium choice. Which leads me to my final thing, the premium choices. The premium choices have a very large effect on the story, especially Endless Summer. I wanted a LI to propose, but even though I did every single thing that would give me a like from my LI, we were still on a "LI is crazy about you", and yeah, I didn't get that. Which is why I came here. I desperately hope that you can read my concerns, and change some things, even if it is just a little bit. I would be more than happy to give this five stars, but for now, I hope you address these thoughts. Thank you!

Love this, but...

Hey guys! I love this game SO MUCH! Like, these are the things that make me throw my phone when I get a cliffhanger... ANYWAY! So, I keep playing (loving Hero, by the way) and I realize: if you want to really experience half the stuff, you have to pay diamonds. Now, premium currency is something I've always loved. It helps give the creators money. But the diamond system in this game... it just doesn't make sense. Like, I'm playing Hero ~(SPOILER ALERT)~ and I'm at the point where you can customize the clock tower base, and it costs 30 diamonds to make it awesome. Now, I wouldn't mind if the system was that you can get a max of like 15 diamonds a day. And that's IF you play a new story every time, and you play 24 hours straight. So, since I don't have that kind of time, I have to pause my adventures for a few weeks until I can make enough to buy it. Same happened with Endless Summer ~(ALSO SPOILER ALERT)~ where at the end you get the files to hack the password. So I had to play the first two books of The Freshman, which took me a month, and then, not ten minutes later, in Crown and Flame ~(YOU KNOW THE DRILL)~ "Spend 12 diamonds to save the Prince." So, either make diamonds easier to get (my idea is a HUGE diamond bonus at the end of a book, like ten diamonds or so) or make the premium choices cheaper. I'll fix my rating afterwards. NOW, ONTO THE GOOD STUFF YOU'VE BEEN DOING~ Guys, keep up the good work! And please hurry up with Most Wanted 2! Love that one!

PLEASE READ THESE SUGGESTIONS TO HELP IMPROVE GAMING EXPERIENCE.

i love this game and i appreciate the new updates that your guys did and i always appreciate when you guys add new content. the only thing i recommend is giving us 5 keys instead of only 2 keys. that would make me want to play more. it takes forever waiting for the keys. also if you invite facebook friends you should get keys for that and you should be able to gift your facebook friends keys just like a-lot of the other games in the app store. my next suggestion is being able to go back and reread old chapters you've already done in case you haven't played in a long time and you have forgot whats going on. also you need to make the premium choices less expensive. i mean it does takes us forever to get enough diamonds to make one premium choice. you guys need to add a choice in settings that allows us to delete all progress and start over as if we've never played before. also you guys can add achievements and give us diamonds for completing each achievement. also please add offers that we can complete to receive free diamonds. also you need to make it so that if we purchase any amount of diamonds that we will remove ads forever. the final thing i suggest is offering a subscription service that will make us a VIP members and we will have content to VIP episode and also VIP members will receive daily diamonds. there is alot of things you can add to this game to make it better such as daily log in bonuses.

This is the BEST #1 choose your story game

WAYYY better than Episode, they need to take notes here lol. The stories and the visuals are great, it really immerses you into the story. It’s not just a hetero relationship sort of status, you can like both genders or one, you can customize your character (to some extent with certain stories) so that’s a treat as well. I only wish that when we customize a character that our characters family will be the same race as well, like for instance I’m black and make all my characters black but then the parents or siblings will be white and little things like that tend to shake me off from the story just a bit. Another thing is that I wish that when you choose a premium choice that the rest of the story falls in line with it. For instance on Book 1 Chapter 2 of Blood Bound when you choose to go with Adrian to see Priya, there’s that whole scene when things get intense (don’t want to spoil) and then when the two leave the MC is like “Omg I can’t believe I got to see her show/see Priya!” And it’s so offbeat based on what happened previously, you can obviously tell it’s what happens if you don’t pick the premium choice, so I wish that the choices we make actually create an impact, instead of them feeling like separate things altogether or insignificant.

❤️Love the game but....❤️

The game itself is really amazing. The books are intriguing and the interface is super easy to use which is always nice. Some things that could be better is the diamonds/choices. I know that you get a diamond after playing each chapter which is nice and you even get the option to watch an ad for an additional diamond but you should be able to watch more ads for diamonds. Most people that own these types of apps are usually low on whatever method they use for the optional choices within the book. It would be nice if there was some other way to earn diamonds. It would really make the experience better in my opinion. One other thing I don’t particularly like is the key waiting time. The fact that I have to wait three hours for one key is kinda ridiculous. It takes six hours for the max amount of keys (which is two) to replenish. It really takes away from the experience. Sometimes I forget about the game entirely and don’t come back for days, even weeks because I just forget. Sure the notifications help but I just wish there were some other way to get keys. One idea is like the diamonds where you can watch an ad or two for another key. It would get me playing the game more and just enjoy the app more without forgetting the app or the story. Otherwise the game is fantastic. I would definitely recommend this to my friends that like these sorts of games.

New update and concerns

I’ve played Choices for about 2 years and it’s been one of my favorite games so far. The stories are very interesting and some books surprise me. My favorite so far is the Royal Romance and it’s a great book but the new update leaves more to be desired. At first I seems thrilled that new books are being added but then I saw that I need to pay money I order to play the stories. The new VIP books that you guys have added seem very very interesting but it’s a shame that in order to play them you have to be a VIP. Let’s be honest not everyone has the money to pay the price and quite frankly it seems a bit unfair to the people who want to play the new books. Another thing we need more interesting stories that everyone has access too. On another note some of these books are very very detailed in some scenarios and younger kids need to be aware of that. I feel like Choices should rated 17+ instead of 12+ because it explains many things throughly. It’s a great game over all but some things need to change. Also it seems very ridiculous that I need to pay a ridiculous amount of diamonds in my “choices” and I wish I were to see the whole book plays out and not worry about the diamonds. 20 diamonds seem like a lot to pay when the choice is one like 5 sentences long. I applaud the daily diamonds but they really need to lower the amount of diamonds it takes to make a choice.

Unfair amount of diamonds

Should be able to make a lot of diamonds and keys faster. They game is okay but when you have diamonds it’s so much better. However, if we only accumulate 3 diamonds after a chapter the game isn’t fun. Especially in bloodbound, having diamonds would’ve made this story so much better. It isn’t fair that you guys make all the cute outfits and most choices people want to pick cost hella diamonds. You guys should either lower all the cost of stuff (paying with diamonds) or offer more was to get a lot of diamonds. Because 3 a chapter isn’t fun. You can barely do anything. This is why I deleted the “episodes” game, everything you’d want to say, wear, or do cost 20+ diamonds. I get you guys want to make money from the game as well however, just like I deleted the other game because of the unfair amount of diamonds they offer compared to how much it cost to do the things you want to do. People are going to start to do the same. It’s unfair, I love you guys books especially bloodbound but it was only fun because I had diamonds. Please lower the price of things paid with diamonds or offer more chances to get a lot of diamonds at a time. As much as you guys ask to pay with diamonds is the same amount you guys should be letting us accumulate them. I really hope you guys fix this because I really do love playing these books. It’s very relaxing and a way to get out of my little world.

Why the Diamonds?!?

I love the game and it’s probably my favorite game because of choices. The keys make sense and I can wait to unlock new chapters even if I would rather just be able to play for as long as I want because of how much I love it. But the diamonds are just annoying. The most you can get at once is two, yet even the lowest price for a choice that costs diamonds is like 16! And you can’t pick the choices that you want because of it. I play stories sometimes because of a certain thing that might happen, then I discover that I can’t even do those things because I need more diamonds. Then to get more diamonds you have to read more chapters, yet you only get two keys at a time. I’ve had to delete the game multiple times because of the situations with the diamonds. If you could just get rid of them and let us pick whatever choices we want without any diamonds, I’d be much happier and would happily give it a five star rating. Besides the diamond, the game is great, the keys are a little annoying. Maybe not if there was a shorter wait time or more keys to have at once though. But anyway, I’d love if you updated the game to have no diamonds and all choices free. I am addicted to the game and would be even more if you did this. Thank you for getting to the end of my super long rant, but that’s just my opinion and I’m sure several other people’s opinion. Everything else is great though.

Really fun but...

I’m really loving this game, and barely play anything else anymore. Lots of people talk about the diamonds and how few you get- and it’s true; something to be aware of before you download this app. In the first book I played, I gave in and bought some diamonds, but quickly learned that diamonds disappear so fast that purchasing them is just a fast train into debt. Each chapter has around 2-3 different times you can use diamonds for a choice, each requiring between 15-30 diamonds. Generally you get 5 diamonds/day as a gift, and 3/new chapter if an ad plays (sometimes ads don’t play, then you just get 2). If you can get 4 new chapters in a day, you can get maybe 17 diamonds. So, you can see how diamonds disappear incredibly fast. Instead I now try to play some books that I’m not as interested in, and use no diamonds at all but save my diamonds up to play a slower game that I can savor and use my diamonds more freely. My only genuine complaint about the diamond choices is when you have to pay diamonds to help other people form relationships, and when you don’t they don’t end up together. It kind of feels like a low blow. It’s hard to spend precious diamonds on things that don’t advanced your own characters story, but it also feels cruel to the other people. When those moments come up I just have to apologize to the characters and tell them it’s not personal, lol!

The game’s amazing, the system’s flawed.

Choices is awesome! I can say that wholeheartedly because I love story games that allow you to simulate specific choices and thus change the results of your story. I was an original fan of both Surviving High School and High School Story, So when I first saw Choices’ released announcement, I was so excited. It’s been, I believe, two years since I stopped playing this game and just continued about a week ago. I started to play again and I’m happy I did since the stories make me smile at every turn that comes about in the plot. Well, up until the choices where diamonds come in. I don’t spend money on apps mostly because I don’t have any of it to spend on small things. I can understand the keys and the time to get more for them but it’s absolutely ridiculous how you only get one diamond after playing a story. The minimum amount of diamonds you need for a specific choice is (to my knowledge of the few stories I’ve played) 12 diamonds. Even then, I’m being run dry. I will admit that I splurged out of anger and bought a bundle of diamonds, but it’s also extremely overcharged as compared to the average roleplaying app in similarity to Choices. I just kind of wish someone in Pixelberry would work to change the way diamonds could be given (for example: a certain amount of diamonds for logging in per day, do this task and get diamonds, get more diamonds for completing the chapter or depending on specific choices, etc.).

It is 5 star worthy but there is something you could improve

I love choices! I was getting tired of the same old same old stories with episode and choices was a good entertainer! One of my personal favorites are the Royal Romance and Queen B! BUT I digress with all the things Choices does right, there are a few things in which Choices can improve. The VIP membership: once I saw that they came out with a membership service I immediately subscribed. Especially when I saw they were giving away 185 diamonds on the spot. As a person who was struggling to afford diamond choices this was a welcome surprise! And it was worth it……for about a week. The thing is you get 10 daily diamonds but it’s hardly enough once you’ve run out, soon your just gonna have to pay 5 to 20$ just for a top up. (What’s the use of unlimited keys if I have no diamond currency?) it’s like being a regular player even though you signed up to be a VIP Your already taking 15$ out of my account every month so don’t you think we should get something worthy of the price. Give VIP members unlimited diamonds as well it would be worth all the trouble and it would give people more incentive to buy your membership! But besides that Choices it a wonderful app! When you want to overlook the never ending chase for gems

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

Waiting for more fantasy! :)

I was a big fan of The Crown and the Flame when it was still in production! I quit using Choices after the last book ended because the other types of casual (slightly vapid) romance stories could never really hold my interest. I’ve re-downloaded Choices after all this time to play through TCTF a second time. It’s still enjoyable but I still hope fantasy and lore lovers will get new content to enjoy. I want more of these plot-driven adventure stories with the sexy romantic options, instead of stories that are completely centric around the romance. I will say that the teams who work on these stories are truly awesome. I used to follow them on Twitter while they were working on TCTF and I know they worked hard every week to push out great content for the fans. The art is great, the writing is good, too. They also seemed to listen to us every week when we expressed our hopes for the next chapters. This is a really great concept for a game, and I continue to support Choices waiting to see what new stories they will put forward. Of course, the diamonds can be a bit of a bummer at times because the characters make you feel bad for turning down premium choices, but I don’t mind spending on the very special decisions to show support for this creative team now and again, and if you watch ads you will also accrue diamonds slowly over time.

Choices beats all the rest!

I love Choices and have found no other choice based story game that compares. I played a lot of them as well, but none drew me in like Choices did. I haven’t spent more money on an app in my life but I enjoy every story so much I can’t help buying more. I’ve read through almost every book and gone back to play some of the older ones because they were so good! I’ve replayed Royal Romance I think about four times now and always enjoy it. The only thing I will say is in the latest update they added a new book called Witness: A Bodyguard Romance and I am not a fan of how they made the diamond choices in this new book. I don’t like having to spend multiple amounts of diamonds for one scene in order to get a good outcome. I much prefer spending a set amount to see the whole scene play out, so I really hope they don’t start adding that into their new books. One of the reasons I enjoy Choices over other apps such as Chapters, is because they let me purchase something once for a good outcome instead of making me buy multiple things like they do. I don’t want to see this app turn into Chapters 2.0 so please don’t make us spend diamonds like that in any other books going forward. Other than that I would say if your looking for a choice based story app then this one is the way to go.

Fun but horribly flawed with bad developers

I’ve been playing this for a really long time it’s been fun for the most part. The thing I hated was the “premium choices”. Now the choices alone aren’t bad it’s just the fact that they’re really expensive and really hard to earn; flaw number 2. So you either have to wait a lot of days and earn by flipping through chapters in books you don’t really like or buying them, which isn’t fair. But I guess they have to make their money too. But not everyone can afford it. A couple years ago when I first started playing it was definitely out of the question. I’ve spent about 7 bucks on it so far. The third thing is the ads. They let you watch up to 3 a day (only one diamond each) and they don’t always reward you after. They said I didn’t watch it all the way through but I watched it much longer than I should have to. Now the last thing something I just recently noticed and honestly pray to god isn’t true. I think they’re making the books’ endings bad on purpose so you have to read the sequels. I just finished The Royal Romance, which I think is the first book they suggest to you when you download it, and the ending was trash. And it literally said play The Royal Romance 2 to fix it. That’s disgusting. I was only playing it to collect diamonds but not everyone playing it was and it’s not fair to them. I still like the game but too many flaws and the developers are extremely corrupt.

So much fun! But o’ so expensive :( people ask for a fix for years but no change

If you like to read AND play games this is a really perfect game. Icing on the cake if you are a romantic at heart. ….Now here comes the draw back (for me at least). The diamond for choices are too expensive. I played an entire book with all diamond choices and it cost me a $15 subscription plus $50. That’s more than a novel cost at a book story. And if your into purchasing novelty books such as vintage or graphic novels like I do it’s still not quite this price tag( maybe 50 to 60 dollars) You cannot make the choices you really want to make or wear what you’d really want to wear if you don’t buy diamond. An easy fix would be to make the choices half of what is costs to make a choice . It’s choice is 17 - 30 diamonds when it really should be in the single digit range. I’d be adapt to spend more if I knew it was taking me farther . Alas, if I read two books and choose like I really want to choose I will be spending $75- $120 per books. It stifles the fun for me and I cannot imagine how heart breaking it is for the people who cannot spend that especially in today’s time. The game is already designed to get you heart pumping with the interactive decision and not be able to choose something because you are broke is not fun play- it’s STRESSFUL! Also this is no discount for subscribers either and I think that should be a thing .

My FAVORITE app!!! 🤩

I started playing this game a long long time ago, before they even replaced it with that high school story app/game which was a bummer but they came back with this and it’s honestly been amazing!! 😫 there’s been so many visual novels that’s been coming out but nothing compares to Choices. i notice all the details that is put into this game, from all the characters, to the stories, to the backgrounds and the soundtracks and the different ways to interact with the players, is just overall amazing! one thing i don’t like though is how every significant choice to the story costs so much diamonds and most of the time, i end up picking the one that doesn’t cost anything which is a bummer because i feel like i’m missing out on a lot of the stories and i’m not truly getting the best outcomes so i hope they change that soon (maybe lower the cost of the choices) because it’s not fair to players that can’t pay/don’t feel like paying every time they play. overall, this is definitely my favorite game and i’ll keep playing for as long as they keep putting out new books! ALSO they need to put out more book with the cast of It Lives in the Woods... honestly the best characters in choices. Or just make a wholesome story with those characters in it, especially Andy Kang. need a book just about Andy!!!!

DIMONSSSS

I found this game in my brothers phone and I was bored so I just decided to play it thinking it was just gonna be some funny joke. I came on the game and I decided to play High School Life. I don’t think much of it at first but then I actually start to like it, eventually I started playing for hours completed many story’s and hundreds of chapters and I started to become obsessed with the game which is funny because I thought the game would be stupid but I was wrong. The game is fun and I just like being able to “live” someone else’s interesting life, all the drama adventures and romance make the game really fun and I personally love the game, my only problem are the diamonds. I understand that there will be a few chances that will cost diamonds but my only request is to at least make the choices that actually cost diamonds cheaper. Not including the 50 diamond in Blood Bound, the most expensive choice is 30 diamonds and that alone is already 10 story’s with ads to get an extra diamond and the wait time to get more keys is 3 HOURS!!! And the max amount the game will actually hold is 2!!! The choices are to expensive and the wait time is to long, id rather fix the diamond situation than the wait time for the keys. I just wanted to give my personal opinion because I know that many people have been annoyed by this as well, but other than that the game is really addicting!

Improvement on earning diamonds, but deleted choices

I began playing this sometime after the James change, but before the Sebastian change. It was much harder to earn diamonds back then (only new chapters earned you diamonds), so the watch an ad to earn a diamond option is a much appreciated improvement. However, the ad for a diamond does not always work. Either, the pop-up doesn’t show up, or it’ll say I’ll get credited for it later (which I did not). My settings are set to show the ad for a diamond every time. I understand that the ad does not pop up after the 1st chapter since you don’t have to use a key to play, but this is occurring on the subsequent (non-1st)chapters. Also, when I went back to replay some older chapters, some of my choices (which required diamonds) are gone—I have to repurchase them! I don’t think this issue for outfits, since I still have my purchased outfits; I’m speaking of the purchased choice/scenes. I wanted to see the different scenarios/responses to the different answers I picked, but only to find out I’ll have to accumulate 30 diamonds again to play that scene. Not cool. I haven’t revisited those chapters since before the Sebastian change, but it would be nice to still revisit my prior storyline choices w/o having to save up on diamonds again. (The character of my love interest hasn’t changed when I tried to replay the storyline, so it’s not like I’m trying to replay w/ different love interests).

Beating the dead horse

The stories are interesting and well written and the art is fantastic, this is definitely the best of these types of games that are out there. The only problem with it, as you may have guessed by the title, is that often times you need to spend diamonds for the “correct“ choice in the story i.e. the one that will get you the best ending. The aforementioned and diamonds are nearly impossible to get in any significant quantity without spending money, I realize that the purpose of any product is to make money, And I’m not saying remove the option to spend the money on it, what I am saying is that there should be some form to get more diamonds without spending money. Maybe five diamonds per ad as opposed to one, and a daily reward system, And perhaps most importantly lower the cost of the diamond scenes when they have around 30 and only being able to get one or two a day it’s nearly impossible to enjoy the stories without spending hard-earned actual money I’d say cut the cost of most of the time and stuff by half, 15 diamonds is a lot even if The ad amount was increased that’s still three ads, which make the game money, And two sometimes three diamond choices the story Would be 30-45 diamonds on average if you cut the price of each choice by half, still a lot, but much better than the 30 to 45 PER CHOICE. all of this being said the game is fun.........when you have enough diamonds to play it

No Resets and Diamond Opprotunities

Overall, this game is a fantastic, very addicting, and I love playing it all the time. But, there are two components that have prevented me from continuing to play this game. One, I cannot reset my progress. I was devastated, after contacting service with the game, that there was no way to reset all your progress as if you have never played it before. I wanted to reset because my friends were playing this game on my phone and I wanted to start from scratch so I can get the full experience, but because the game nor myself can even reset it, I no longer want to play. And possibly this could be for diamond reasons so you can get more money, but for myself and the thousands of people not doing that, it has stopped me from wanting to continue playing the game. And needs to be fixed immediately. Another small issue that would be great if can be improved but alright if not, is that there are no opportunities to ever get diamonds than buy them. I was thinking you can get 2 diamonds for watching a 30 second advertisement, which overall is more money for you and would make players recommend this game to more people and play a lot more. Overall, this game would deserve 5 stars, but because I cannot get the full game experience due to no resets, it has 3.

Love this app but...

To be completely honest, this game is wonderful. I love all the stories in the app. But, some choices cost diamonds. The game starts you off with about 65 diamonds and most of the choices that cost diamonds are 20 diamonds. So, if I want more, I have to either pay money for them, which I don’t have the money to do so, or watch ads for 1 diamond per ad. At that rate I have to watch 20 ads for 20 diamonds. In addition to that, you can only watch four adds within 3 hours. So if i need to watch 20 ads to get 20 diamonds, it’s gonna take me 15 hours to get them, and i don’t have that kind of free time on my hands. This app needs to add easier ways to get more diamonds or just start you off in the game with more of them. Plus, if I want to restart a chapter, I have to immediately press restart after I finish it. If I press continue so I can get more diamonds, I can’t go back to that chapter. If I spent a certain amount of diamonds on something in that chapter and press restart, it doesn’t give m back the diamonds I already spent which I don’t think is fair. This app is wonderful, but it could be much better if I have the option to have more diamonds, or the choices not to cost so much. If you are willing to spend money on in-app purchases, by all means, do so because this game is very entertaining. But I do think these are easy fixes for the app and should definitely be considered to make a better game.

Fix the diamond problem!!!

Now this is one of the best choice driven games I’ve played in a while, but the fact that you have to pay over 25 or more diamonds to get the result you want in a story is completely ridiculous. You shouln’t have to pay to choose the choices you wish to make in the story every time, especially if you have to waste all your saved up dimonds that you got by playing a random story you weren’t even interested in. At this rate It’ll take me months just to finish one story. One way you people can fix this is by adding a way to get diamonds faster. For example, what if when you log in the game every day you get a certain amount of diamonds that slowly increases by choosing to play every day. And when or if that streak is broken the number of diamonds you get goes down again and you have to build it up again. Also one major problem is the limited number of keys. Like C’mon give us at LEAST FIVE keys... If these problems aren’t resolved in due time Im honestly just going to keep telling the friends I know who play these kinds of games that this one is just not worth their time and effort. Because it has become enfuriating having to wait months just to get a few diamonds to pick the choice that’ll move the story in the direction that we want to take it. I hope this helps the developers fix these simple things that will honestly improve the game and make it a hundred times better, and more enjoyable. Thank you for your time. 🤗👋🏼

Cant go far

I just downloaded this app yesterday. I have been wanting to play this game for a while now. I like the storytelling of the game and the different books you can choose from And the different choices you get to make, But I must say if you do not get very far in this game without having to purchase more keys or more diamonds. To buy a new outfit cost at least 20 diamonds and when you want to make some of the bigger choices that leads to something better those also cost a lot of diamonds. So you will find yourself spending a lot of money on this game if you want to actually go far. I think that in order to get a new outfit or choose A bigger choice that cost diamonds that are really expensive and I don’t really think that is fair because some people can’t keep purchasing diamonds and just to take a different choice or buy a outfit. Yes you can watch ads that will only give you one dime in which I think is ridiculous. I think there should be many games or something to help you earn more diamonds and cheese and also don’t make the choices and the clothing so expensive because it will take you days just to get enough diamonds to do one thing. And some people don’t have the money like that to keep putting into a game. Just saying you should make some changes to this. Or I may just be deleting this app I love playing yet but everything cost so much and you get a little in return.

Best Story Ever, except for the diamonds

I absolutely love this game! The storylines are great, the characters look real! I’ve tried episodes before this, and I like this completely better, because this actually has a storyline! But, there’s always a bit, I wish there was a better way of getting diamonds, if you make us who can’t buy them watch ads, have them be ever hour and have them have like 3-4 diamonds, not that many, and make the items in the chapters cheaper, I know y’all are trying to make money and there are people out there who are willing to pay for diamonds, but some of us want Stories we can read that you don’t have to pay for things or the things you have to pay for are cheap, making them 20 diamonds or less, I feel like if you go above that it just is sad and really annoying, you all put work into your stories, so let us readers want to keep going, because I don’t really want to keep going if I have to buy stuff in a chapter that’s so expensive. Or you could also ad in some mini games where you can earn diamonds and keys, it would definitely make your app different then episodes and any of the other story apps. I’m watching every single ad I can just so I can buy the things to get the better part of the stories... ❤️ You app though! Would give it five starts if you fixed the diamond problem.

I love this Game and here is why you should too!

Let’s start off with how this game is like a book but with “pictures”. It’s simply fun and an easy read. Your pick; Drama, Fantasy, Romance or just School. My first Book was Blood Bound and I am still loving it. (Still waiting for the 2nd Book) The thing is you need keys and you only get two keys but overtime you will get more keys by 2 hours. I am completely chill about that and think it is a good idea. We also have diamonds and to get them you either finish reading a chapter and get two diamonds OR you can watch ads. Completely Genius, but I think there should be another way since we all are diamond thirsty! Anyways, my negative point of view is that when you finish a Book you should get maybe 4 diamonds instead of two because you finished the Book. Think of it as a Reward! Another thing is that when you restart a book you need keys! I definitely think that no one wants to restart the book and use their Keys! I think instead to restart the book you should not need to use keys! I would also like to add that maybe people can author their own books! It would fantastic to read other people’s books but it is just an idea. I just hope that people enjoy this game as much as I did and that it is totally worth purchasing. 😁

Love and hate the game

I love the stories in this game and I love playing but the reasoning for the low rating is you can't do anything you want because of how many diamonds a lot of the choices cost. There should be a better system for it or charge like $2.99 for the game and get rid of the diamond system completely because I rather pay a one time fee than waste my money on diamonds, because I refuse to pay the money for them. That is the main reason I don't recommend this game to others is no one would want to deal with it. Not only that, but the timing it takes for you to earn free keys takes so long and it will only go up to a max of two and then stop earning them until you use one you have to wait another hour and thirty mins for each of them to come back. And you blow through through the keys so fast it's upsetting. I was actually debating not playing it anymore because it's so frustrating. I have played other games that are free and you earn so many of the diamonds for free you can actually enjoy the game fully. With out wasting a dime. Last if you do use diamonds to make a choice if you decide you want to do the story again that option cost diamonds every time it doesn't save options you already paid diamonds for. Same goes with keys even if you opened a whole book already you need keys to to it again. Overall I wish they would makes changes and I bet a lot more people would download the game. It almost makes the game unenjoyable.

Good work.

Well, first of all I want to say that I’ve been playing choices since the beginning when the only books you had were freshman, most wanted and crown and the flame only first parts. Now, to see you grow this big, congratulations. Pixelberry Studious does a great job with all the games, before Choices I played Hollywood U. and High School Story (if you haven’t played yet, you should!). You have so many great books, I’m loving each and every one of them. Great job with HSS, Rules of engagement, Crown and the Flame and Endless summer. I find Royal Romance a little boring(and the chapters are too short, not much happens) but it’s cute. I’ve read quite a lot of these reviews and they basically all say the same, more ways to win diamonds. No matter how many new books you publish they all need diamonds for the full experience and it’s your biggest demerit. If you really want to enjoy the story you have to pay, and I understand that it’s necessary but just a little bit more diamonds would be amazing. Plus it could definitely get you to five stars with most of people. I mean, basically, the gist of this review is that you have outstanding books, that I’m (as much as one could be) proud of you and the only thing choices lack are diamonds. Keep up the good work and give us new books cause you keep amazing me more and more every day. Lots of love for everyone!

Great game but diamonds cause problems

So I have been playing this game for such a long time and I always enjoyed it. Don’t get me wrong it’s a great game with great stories, but having to have diamonds for purchasing for so many things is absolutely ridiculous. In episodes they give you three choices and one out of three is a special outfit or action but at least the two out of the three give decent choices. I’ve been reading the series the royal romance and I finally finished to start the sequel called the royal heir and the fact that I have to use diamonds to pay not only for my own outfits or whatever, but for the babies outfit too is out of this world crazy. At least put it at a set price. I won’t be spending my money on things that aren’t necessary. I do think that the owners of this game need to change something like something to get free diamonds. I feel that giving 2 diamonds at the end of each story is a little skimpy. At least give half back for what we paid for. I get it’s how you guys make your money, but you’re depriving your viewers and audience of the real experience. I don’t want to have to keep purchasing diamonds and they end up being used faster than what I purchased them for. It’s a GREAT game, but the owners need to change something to make this better because it’s ridiculous.

Good app but

I love this app a lot of great stories but I wish you could make it so u don’t have to connect it to Facebook because what if you don’t have face book like me? I really wish you could connect it a different way because I will loose my progress if I don’t save it please make it so u can save it to google or iCloud. I also wish that u can watch videos to take time off for the keys because we only get 2 keys and it takes forever for them to generate back give us like 4 or something like episode does. You should also let people creat stories because we get bored of the same stories and also waiting for new chapters to form every week. I love this game. Also give us more gems after reading the stories and give us gems if we read the stories again. Also why did u create a whole new high school story I mean I like the new one I was just hoping for the story to continue. Also please stop making the gems so high priced in the stories your just making us want to buy Diamonds 30 diamonds?! That’s way toooo much. This was the first reading game I have downloaded I hope you take consideration into this because I would like this app even more then I do right now if u could do the things I’m asking for thanks for your time if u read this! Keep up the good work!!💕😬🤦🏻‍♀️😂

The Good and Bad

I’ve really enjoyed getting into this game. I like that you can experience different roles and scenarios and even play games like America’s Most Eligible. The story lines are pretty well written and for the most part they provide you with a decent amount of choices along the way. There are some negatives however. The fact that on many of the stories you are gender locked is no fun. I want to be able to play as a guy - in all of the books. Makes no sense for me to not be able to choose that. Another negative is the cost to make choices. I understand their need to make money. And I don’t mind spending some to play the game. But the cost just doesn’t balance out. If you really want to do all the extras you will spend way over $100 on every storyline. And what’s worse is there’s no way to really earn extra gems - you get a couple for finishing chapters or watching an ad, but not enough to make a difference. Another thing they should do is show the whole person at certain times - not just chest and face always. And show the characters together or interacting at least. Overall a good app and the best of its kind. Also, has potential to be even better. How about add a Survivor or Big Brother story. Also, I’m sure there are copyrights but a Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, Supernatural, McGuyver, Teen Wolf or Walking Dead storylines would be amazing.

Good but frustrating

I really enjoy the concept of Choices. The available books are interesting and fun to play. My biggest complaint (and apparently others as well) is the diamond earning situation. The title is Choices but in reality you have no choices unless you want to spend $$$ to buy diamonds. It’s so infuriating! You only earn 1 diamond per chapter but everything costs like 17+ diamonds. There’s simply no real way to earn them fast enough. So you’re stuck with the boring FREE storyline, which is no choice at all. There needs to be a better and faster way to earn diamonds (and keys as well!!) to play. I would love to choose a diamond choice but never have enough. So give more ways to earn more diamonds and keys! Also, it might be nice to include some additional free Choices. Why can I only have 1 outfit without using diamonds?! At least give a couple free ones as well as paid ones. Same thing with other choices. Don’t just give the boring choice which won’t move the romance along or the expensive choice. Give a third free option (or SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper one), that may move the romance a little but not as much as the paid option. I gave it 3 stars because I’m still playing it and I like the potential. However I get so frustrated at the diamond situation and that I can only read 2 chapters daily usually because of lack of keys, that I almost have it only 2 stars. Some upgrades are majorly needed.

Disappointed

I really love this game/books. I look forward to reading and being a part of the stories and picking out outfits and making choices through out but I almost don’t want to keep the app because it’s impossible to collect enough diamonds and keys. I’m not paying 20 dollars in a game and the price of making choices is so high that I don’t get the experience that the description says. I don’t want to start a new book everytime I want to rack up enough diamonds to be able to play the one I really want to read. I mean you get 5 a day and for each chapter read but you only get 2 keys a day and that only unlocks one chapter. I don’t know about other people but I can read more than 2 chapters a day. It’s such a fun thing that ruined over diamonds and keys. Even the pricing in those in cash is a little high. If it wasn’t so much I might buy a bundle but not 20 dollars worth. The cheaper ones only give you 5 keys and I would go through that in an hour or less. I don’t know. I hope the makers of this game can come up with something that’s less of a headache. I would even watch videos everytime I need a diamond but there’s not really any options other than waiting 24 hours for 5 diamonds when I’m the choices I need 19 every few minutes if I want to buy an outfit 🤷🏻‍♀️ please please please make it easier to get those things.

Choices review

Choices is definitely one of the most amazing apps out there. Y’all made get be wondering “Why is choices so amazing?” Well I’ll tell you. Being a writer, doctor, and a mom of 2, I don’t expect much of a game with dialogue, jut the usual, robotic and uninteresting. But choices has a way with the stories, it hooks you on and it’s truly addicting. Take Tiktok for example, it’s addicting, see, choices is just as addicting. It’s stories on so many different things. It ranges from vampires and space people to just normal everyday life. On choices there’s a story for everyone about anything. A really good series is Blood-bound. Blood bound tells a story of a girl who finds herself working for a cool factory and turns out... her boss is a vampire. She slowly begins to fall in love with him and they become very close. In the third book, something extraordinary happens. I also recommend Open heart. Open heart is about doctors(like me) who are devoted to their work and helping everyone, and I will admit, you can’t always save everyone but, we really try. Open Heart shows you how important a doctors life is and how devoted doctors are to helping patients. It’s true, we really do try to find loopholes. Overall, choices is a 10/10 app and if there was more than 5 stars, I would give it a million.

The BEST choices app you'll make

Choices has so much heart! The writers really do not get enough credit for their talented storytelling. New chapters for many original stories each week, and their is a genre for everyone! Mystery, love, fun, friendship, fantasy; and even spooky! The characters are all written as modern, fresh, and you will definitely find a story that makes you care about them all. The biggest complaint I read is diamonds and keys. You are frequently presented with the option to use diamonds to enhance the story. You get extra scenes, new outfits or hair and it's usually the 'better' choice etc. But that's just it- they are EXTRA. You will succeed in the game the same way without them. I have never been held back from getting the guy, completing the mission, or enjoying the story by choosing not to use them. Sometimes it's frustrating (leave the puppy behind or spend 16 diamonds) but I don't let it dissuade me from playing. TIPS- when you start, play every first chapter once! You get a diamond for every first chapter but it doesn't cost any keys to play the intro. This is a great way to start off your balance. I let the chapters build up and then when I play, I suddenly have 10+ diamonds added each week. I save them up and use them for my fave story, try it!

I LOVE CHOICES

My name is Amanda and I’m 17 years old. I’ve been playing choices since 2018 of August and have loved it ever since. I love the different genres that I can connect to. The stories are so compelling that I literally wait up for the keys just to play. It takes about 4 hours in total for 2 keys, 2 hours for 1 key, which is kinda boring as I wait but I’ll do it for I love it so much. My personal favorite books at the moment are AME, Open Heart, High School Story, and Big Sky Country. The gender equality in most games are good while in others it’s where you have to be a girl. But in the books I like I can choose to be either a male or female and can even date the same sex. I love the many options given to us players to get gems, such as earning 2 gems after playing a episode while also getting the chance to earn 1 gem for watching an ad. There are also rewards given to the player every 21 hrs which adds up to 5 gems in total which better than having to pay for gems. The honestly love choices and hope to work there someday. I have many great ideas, not saying the books there aren’t great if anything they’re amazing, and Is love to even create a choice book myself someday! They’ve inspired in so many ways that I want to thank choices and everyone that’s involved.

More of the Royal Romance/Heir series!!

So in a fit of quarantine boredom, I downloaded a bunch of these types of games. I ended up deleting all the others cuz this was the clear winner. I am low-key obsessed The Royal Romance series and The Royal Heir. I actually spent money on gems and I never spend money on games! I've also started replaying the entire series while I'm waiting for the weekly installments of The Royal Heir 3 because I can't get enough! It's embarrassing to admit it, but honestly props to the writers and artists behind the two series. the backdrops and characters are beautifully illustrated and the plot of each book is well thought out, well-written, and engaging. I'm very picky with other people's writing but I haven't found a flaw here, whereas the other similar apps all fell short, particularly in the writing department. The story really makes me feel safe, I think because it's reminiscent of The Princess Diaries, which I grew up reading and always remind me of a simpler time. TL;DR if you're looking for a choose your own adventure type game like this, choose this one. And if you liked The Princess Diaries as a kid, definitely play The Royal Romance and The Royal Heir series. Note to the game devs: thank you for making quarantine more entertaining and pls never stop adding to the Royal Romance/Heir series!!!

good, but annoying

I really wanted to give this four stars, if not, five. The stories are great and have good plots. There’s diversity. The stories are interesting and always leave you wanting more. Updates happen often. But there’s one issue. Diamonds. (A bit of a spoiler) for example, I was playing Desire and Decorum, and unfortunately her father died. Yeah, well his funeral? I had to pay diamond to wear black clothes. For a FUNERAL. They at least could’ve given another choice of outfit that WAS black. It’s idiotic. I ended up having to wear this bright blue to a funeral. And the lowest prince for only TWENTY diamond (the least amount I’ve ever spent is twelve. And that was only ONCE. Every other time, it’s at LEAST 15, leaving you with nothing else to spend) the lowest amount of money to spend on diamonds is 1.99, aka 2 dollars. For twenty diamonds. And literally if you EVER want to make the choices you want; it’s diamonds. Too. Many. Diamond. Choices. I’ve had to stop playing games for a while till I can afford the diamond choices. Oh, and for any of this romance, adventure stuff they tell you ? Yeah, doesn’t happen unless you have diamonds. I would’ve given it a one had the stories not been entertaining. Either lower your prices to buy diamonds, lower the amount of diamonds for each choice, or take them out in all. It seriously lowers user experience and it makes the app much less enjoyable than it should be.

Used to be great, but now is a shadow of its former glory

Choices around launch time to about a year ago was great. They had many different types of stories you could choose from. Now, it’s just getting very typical “here’s another romance story.” There used to be plenty of interesting stories like endless summer and most wanted- it really is unfortunate that they’re unwilling to continue not only Most Wanted, but also A Courtesan of Rome. All of their best books are singular or short. I understand that one of their writers left, but if you don’t think you can do their story justice enough for a second book- doesn’t that indicate a writer quality problems with your other writers? There must be a reason why we keep getting books like Wishful Thinking, Passport to Romance and SunKissed- and its not very good. Besides that, it’s really crappy how they look story content behind diamond paywalls. I understand it for “romance scenes”- and only kind of understand it for “premium” outfits (really? We can’t get at least decent non paid outfits), but to collect clues that contribute to the storytelling? That’s really crappy for a company to do. I guess I just had a lot of faith in this app when it launched, since I was here in the beginning, and I remember how great the surviving high school and Cause of Death apps were... but it’s become obvious that choices has become a sub par cash grab from the pixelberry team.

Good, wish I could play more than once a day :(

Okay, so before I get into it I just want to say i just started playing this recently and I love the game. The storylines, the animation, the characters, everything is amazing. It’s crazy how one little chapter can bring one into a whole new world. It’s almost like reading an actual book but the reader gets to choose their destiny. The problem I have with this game is, well, it’s not very playable. The reason why I say that is because with the amount of keys you get I’m lucky if I can do one chapter a day. I get that the app needs to make money but I would much prefer watching ads to earn keys instead of waiting hours just for 10 minutes of gameplay a day. Don’t get me wrong the cliffhangers are intriguing but it’s also frustrating having to wait so long. And to be real most people can’t spend real money on a game. Also, the diamonds. Kind of like the keys, it would be nice if there would be ways to earn more diamonds than just one a day. What’s the point in charging us diamonds for the “good” choices, if it’s supposed to be our choice? It affects the way we want to complete our stories. I could understand if the diamond choices cheaper or less frequent but it’s a bit excessive. Anyways, like I said. Great game, wonderful concept, but a bit unreasonable as far as playability.
