(#ICYMI) For #iPhone Friday i checked out Ascent Spire - Roguelike RPG, from Terrier Games. The black + white pixel art is striking, the game is easy to play, and the #CYOA style story is randomised each time. But the #Roguelike elements seem slow to progress

Grazie a Giovanni Santostefano possiamo provare l'inizio di questa nuova avventura del genere CYOA. L'anteprima risulta già abbastanza inquietante: chissà cosa ci aspetterà quando sarà competata. #textadventure #cyoa #interactivefiction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQDHyNl2RNI

There have been 3 #ChooseYourOwnAdventure books previously adapted into graphic novels by Oni Press - and then they just disappeared. I assumed they weren't getting adoption, but here comes a 4th book adapting "Space and Beyond" - originally published in 1980. #CYOA

I spent 5 months building a choose-your-own-adventure game from scratch. The alpha just dropped on Google Play!

If you're looking for a #cyoa with #poetry, #eldritch #horrors, #direEndings, and #mystery then I have a game for you: Here: Nothing Good Ever Happens Here
https://howtophil.itch.io/here
13 bad endings and with each discovered you learn a bit more; however, as with all eldritch horror, there are no clear answers, only madness, despair, and terror

The early books were so much fun... I bought each as they were published. I still remember titles like "The Mystery of Chimney Rock" & "By Balloon to the Sahara".

Can't get enough of the Finish It! podcast. It's about Choose Your Own Adventure books, and the effort put in to music and preparation is very impressive.

After a few months of inactivity on my blog (which has happened before), I have written a medium-sized article about how the term "interactive fiction" has changed over the years.

Aside from #CYOA or MUD type use, another potential I see is as a #WebSerial or #Webnovel platform. Think FictionPress.net, Naver Wattpad, Kindle Vella, and similar. Dan opened a very wide door for ATmosphere network. Time for a new service catering for lit publishing and communities. 😁

Haha… I tried to create a #CYOA trail but it didn't work. sidetrail.app/@youronly.on... It would be interesting if we can have multiple buttons that links to another trail. I mean, I see potential for this as a short form platform for interconnected stories.

Adding another used #ChooseYourOwnAdventure to the shelf: Chinese Dragons.
Originally #109 (Bantam, 1991), later #30 in the 2009 Chooseco reissue.
Like many late-run titles from the original series, it’s light on endings: just 11 paths to wrap things up. 🤷🏼♂️ #CYOA #Gamebooks

I love that a 1986 #ChooseYourOwnAdventure book noted that Christopher Columbus was a slimeball.

Adapting a visual novel's #artbook into a #CYOA story is truly the most incredible use of both mediums I have ever seen. The coolest approach possible, wishing Black Tabby Games all the best with their projects🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #art #visualnovel #vndev #slaytheprincess #indiegamedev

Сторонник свободного программного обеспечения, свободного интернета и распределённых сетей. За минимальное вмешательство государства в жизнь граждан (но не либертарианство), легализацию проституции, порнографии и добровольного рабства (да #bdsm тоже входит в список моих интересов) и свободное ношение оружия. Против эвтаназии, смертной казни и легализации наркотиков. Политические взгляды скорее лево-центристские.
Интересуюсь мировой историей ( #история древнего мира, античности и доколумбовой Америки, средневековая история западной и северной Европы и Руси, #культура и история кочевых народов), а также культурой и экономикой стран юго-восточной Азии. Довольно очевидно из всего вышесказанного, что я анимешник, менее очевидно, что ещё я люблю #фильмы, #книги и #сериалы ( #обзоры здесь тоже будут), настольные ролевые ( #dnd #pathfinder #cyoa ) и компьютерные #игры.
Также планирую использовать присутствие здесь для тренировки и изучения иностранных языков.

It’d be amazing to see these secret endings preserved in a more accessible format — maybe even printable inserts to tuck inside the paperbacks themselves as bookmarks, hopefully better than my lame mockup! 😜 [4/4]
-
The original links are long gone, but thanks to the Internet Archive, many of those endings are still viewable... though they require Flash 😬. [3/4]

What makes these early editions extra special? Each one had a “Secret Online Ending” — accessible via the official CYOA website back in the day. [2/4]

Scored 3 used #ChooseYourOwnAdventure books at Goodwill from the 2005 Chooseco relaunch era! These feature the original white background & “notched” double frame design, later replaced in 2007 with full-cover style currently used. [1/4]

From Jimmy Maher, the Digital Antiquarian, an in depth look at the Choose Your Own Adventure series of gamebooks created by Edward Packard and published from 1979-1998 (original series) https://www.filfre.net/2025/09/choose-your-own-adventure/ #interactiveFiction #books #gamebooks #CYOA

📖 Just started “Cryptid Chronicles: Mothman,” the new #ChooseYourOwnAdventure by Cristin Bishara (July release). First ending hit hard:
💀 “Someday… when human remains are found deep in the mine shaft, they are yours.”
THE END.
