A Midsummer Night's Choice

I am not only an avid reader, but a huge Shakespeare and CYOA fan. This combined two of my favorite styles of literature into one in a flawless, eloquent way. There were very few typos, and the typos I could find did not draw me out of the scenes. There are so many ways to change your story, and I love that your stats can actually impact how well a choice works or not. Also, I enjoyed the fact that this story is not a direct copy of Midsummer Night’s Dream. It is more of a spin-off parody, being unique and pulling certain elements of the play into it, but still holds the fun atmospheric vibes Shakespeare’s original play gave off. This has so much replay value and enjoyable text that the $6 price point is very worth it. If you are a fan of choice-based stories and Shakespeare, you will enjoy this story a lot! I hope to see more Shakespeare-related CYOA content someday.

This was fantastic, to say the least! As a young musician and writer I truly recognize this as one of the greatest stories I’ve played in, and ever read. The way the genre of everything was smoothly mixed into the story was extraordinarily poetic. In the short time I’ve played this, the attachment to the characters of this game was lightning fast. The literature was above exceptional, and intriguing. At the end, it quite literally left me craving for more. I would gladly say this is one of the best story games I’ve played on the app store. I would love a sort of sequel to this. I would definitely play this and recommend this to anyone who would want a quick read and inviting, choice based gameplay.

If you like the stat-based CYOA model and you appreciate Shakespeare's wittier tendencies, you'll enjoy A Midsummer's Night Choice. Very postmodern, from the play within a game to the characters struggling with reciting sonnets to each other. Replayability does invite skimming, but there's plenty of fresh paths to take, especially in the endgame. Oh, and the potential love web is ridiculously hilarious.
