Choices: Stories You Play

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!:)

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.

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!
