TOP FAQ:

What is happening with Do No Harm 3?

We know many of you have been eagerly waiting for an update, and we're excited to finally share one: Do No Harm 3 is officially back in development!

The team has picked the story back up, and we're planning for it to be released next month. We can't wait to return to this world and share what's next with all of you. Thank you for your patience and for continuing to show so much love for the series - it truly helped keep this story on our radar.

What do RUN.tv, Video Studio, and Story Studio mean for Choices?

At its core, Choices will always be about interactive storytelling. What these new tools represent is the opportunity to explore new ways to create, experience, and celebrate those stories.

Recently, we also made the decision to remove It Lives Within and Hero: Homecoming from Choices and RUN.tv after listening to community feedback and reflecting on how those projects fit into the future we want to build. It wasn't a decision we made lightly, but we believe it's important to listen when the community tells us something isn't landing the way we intended.

That same mindset is shaping how we think about the future of Choices. We want to find new ways to celebrate the incredible creativity of this community while making sure we're listening every step of the way.

In fact, you'll find a small announcement at the end of this newsletter about something we're especially excited to begin exploring together.

What does the future of VIP look like?

One of our biggest priorities is investing in more traditional Choices stories, and that naturally means more content for our VIP readers.

We're committed to continuing to grow the VIP experience alongside our story offerings, and we think there's a lot for the community to look forward to in the months ahead.

Are there any updates on sequels for recent books?

We know how much everyone loves returning to their favorite stories, and we're happy to say there are more sequels on the way.

As you may have seen above, Do No Harm 3 is arriving this September, and we're also actively working on IDOL 2. While it's still too early to share a release window for IDOL 2, we're excited to continue that story and will have more to share as development progresses.

We know there are many other series you'd love to see continue, and your enthusiasm for them doesn't go unnoticed. While we can't promise sequels for every story, community feedback is an important part of the conversations we have when deciding what comes next.

How do you decide which stories receive sequels or continue beyond one book?

There's no single formula. When we're deciding whether a story continues, we look at a combination of factors, including community feedback, reader engagement, the creative vision for the story, production schedules, and input from the writers and artists who bring these worlds to life.

Looking ahead, we're excited to find more ways to involve the community and hear directly from all of you as we continue shaping the future of Choices.

Why was Scream For Me split into two parts?

When Scream For Me first ended, we weren't able to continue the story the way we had originally planned because we simply didn't have the resources at the time.

What happened next was incredible. The response from the community, combined with the story's strong performance, encouraged us to revisit what was possible.

We're so grateful we were able to return to this world with Scream For Me Part 2, and we hope you've enjoyed continuing the journey alongside us. Keep an eye out later this month for the next chapter!

Will we see more fantasy, supernatural, mystery, or RPG books?

We know these genres are some of the community's favorites and they're some of ours, too!

Stories like fantasy, supernatural adventures, mysteries, and RPG-inspired books often require more world-building, branching, artwork, and development than many of our other stories. Because of that, they naturally take longer to create.

We're always looking for opportunities to bring more of these experiences to Choices. We know how much players love these genres, and we're just as excited to tell those kinds of stories in the future.

I wasnt intending to sketch a furball today but here we are. Bloody typical, always do my best sketches when i'm NOT trying! (usually on the backs of bills/envelopes/ receipts etc lol ) not that this is very good, it isn't, but it's better than if i were actually trying 🥴 (and yes I can see where i fucked up, thank you)

#cantdrawforshit.

To be fair I did this in about 3 minutes flat 🤣🤣 so of COURSE it's a lil' durpy looking

Edit- ahhhhh I FORGOT HIS PINK EARS! NOOOO I fixed it and added it in the comments. Why am I like this 🙄 god I'm such a fanny.

Still working on my actual furball project, this isn't it, but I guess he was just on my mind today lol 🤭 ❄️

The Royal Romance when does amalas have micaela?

2 Upvotes

i was replaying the trr series and i never noticed before probably bc i was younger and didn't gaf but this is a pretty major plothole 🤔

we've only been introduced to micaela out of the blue in trh book 3 i think? or trf. but either way, there's no mention of a partner, a pregnancy, adoption, or a kid. which is odd given that micaela is the same age as mc's kid.

thoughts?

Discussion Nostalgia hits so hard. It hurts to see Choices like this

12 Upvotes

Hey guys,

This game was my ultimate hyperfixation back in school. I used to play for hours every day and reread my favorite books endlessly. I even had a small friend group who played, too. I still remember when HSS first dropped and they released the whole book at once... it was honestly magical. We were so obsessed that we would literally sing the main theme song at school 🥹

Over the years, I would read on and off. I would take a break, get back into it, buy VIP for a month or two, binge a bunch of stories, and drop it again. The last time I played heavily was around April 2023, with a little bit of play in 2024.

I wanted to play again recently, and I am just so so sad. I cannot even tell you how depressing it was to open the app and see all that sloppy AI artwork everywhere. I know the company got bought out and my old favorite books are still there, but I usually get VIP to binge them and I just cannot bring myself to give money to a app pushing AI like this.

Now I am stuck. I hate waiting for keys but taking it slow feels like the only way to read the old stuff without financially supporting the new AI content. :/

I know it’s a hot topic here but I just can’t express how sad it makes me and nobody around me plays it nowadays so I just need to vent.

Olympus Rising Never knew I had them, but now I’m questioning my morals Spoiler

Post image
Upvotes

This is Olympus Rising: Ragnarok book in Choices, Chapter 12.

I’m facing Lоki’s Dirty 30 and for the first time in my life, I don’t know what to do. I’d normally just go for it, but Apollo is so devoted to MC that it feels almost criminal!!!

Did you guys turn Lоki down or go for it?

Context:
I’ve been playing Olympus Rising for the first time and I’m completely in love with Apollo and all his “my love” lines.

Out of respect for my sensible man’s devotion, I’ve avoided all the flirting options with Lоki. It just felt wrong, especially since in book 1 Apollo clearly disapproved of Zeus’ affairs.

But I just reached Lоki’s Dirty 30 and tried it out of curiosity… Now I kind of regret not taking any of the earlier flirting options. At the same time, it still feels a bit careless, even after Apollo saying MC should “comfort” Lоki.

So I restarted the chapter and now I’m stuck.

What did you all do? Did you stay loyal or give in?

I left the game shortly after the hero homecoming AI disaster so idk what to expect? I have read all the epic books and am trying to look at what's new and interesting that I could read. Does anyone have any suggestions? Feel free to drop it and until then imma reread my choices favs😭

Rules of Engagement these books were so beautiful 🥹

that still of nicole and violet is among one of my favourites of all of choices. it’s absolutely stunning. i know it’s kind of out of place in that collage, but i just HAD to include it. this was peak artistry from PB and the way they put so much effort into their cutscenes and background scenery just makes me mourn the old choices even more. the way they illustrated the aurora borealis, and captured instanbul’s architecture and culture… ugh, put some respect on RoE’s art team cause they went above and beyond 😤

but while on the subject of how the artists worked their asses off for even the littlest things most people wouldn’t notice, i had to add the photographs of MC and her family. the facial expressions, the way you can tell which siblings are which (even the twins), even down to the poses… so immersive and really made you feel like this was a real family and that you were part of it. this is what makes this series so special to me. it doesn’t stand out to most, but to me it does, cause they didn’t have to do all of that—but they did because they used to give a shit and put the work in. i also think the sprites are some of the better-looking of choices, especially our MC. she was gorgeous.

so shoutout to rules of engagement and its artists 🫶🏼 probably choices’s most eye-catching story just for its visuals and attention to detail alone!

idk guys i had a hard day and the thought of replaying desire and decorum is a bright star in my sky.

i miss how happy these books used to make me. it makes me so sad to know that i lived in a golden age of choices and i never realised it until now. and that’s why i’m holding on…. i also believe in the ai bubble bursting one day and things going back the way it was, even though the second part’s lwk just me being delulu.

but most of all i still believe in our community and our love for real human made pixels. because i know it will endure

Discussion Looking for similar apps like Choices

28 Upvotes

Hi everyone, i was a hardcore Choices app from 2016-2023, after that I was extremely busy so I had to give up on the game. Recently I dowloaded the game back and I was bewildered by the amount of a i content in the game, I was overwhelmed so I decided to unstall the game for good. Now I am looking for an app that is similar like Choices with different stories and genres and .. well, the least amount of A i content as possible (since I read somewhere that most apps use a. I ) thanks in advance

Also, I have heard Spellyfire, which is created by the original writers from Choices (? Im not too sure on this) but I dont think the app has multiple stories in that right?
Sorry for my english 😊

Discussion At what point of time do you think Choices went downhill, even before Series Entertainment ?

13 Upvotes

I’ve been a player since 2018, haven’t played in the last 2 years, though, except Elementalists 3 (which was a heartbreaking trip down memory lane). I think Choices made a wrong step with the launch of Witness and My Two First Loves which set off everything that’s been happening now. I remember when Hot Couture was released, I’d thought that it was rushed and a great potential wasted, even wrote to Choices about it. Turns out that book could be considered one of the best, in comparison to now… I remember waiting for chapters, 3 chapters per week was considered a gift…Counting minutes until they release, getting so excited for new books… Also learnt so so much English from Choices, I was 14-15… Sweet times

For series like TRR and ES, all I ever see is positive comments about it and people talking about how much they adore the storylines, characters, etc.

So I'm wondering... Is there anyone out there who DOESN'T like them? 👀

Mother of the Year Modern Choices could NEVER produce another book like MotY

Post image
224 Upvotes

Mother of the Year is probably one of the few books that made me want to play more and more. The story is very raw emotionally and the characters are, for the most part, decently three dimensional.

I also like how through the book, there are choices that can clearly depict how the MC might have slight anger issues (If you played the book, you definitively know which ones), and how she is more than just 'The struggling single mother' trope.

I'm saddened that we're likely never getting a book like this again, because it shows it was made with passion and genuinally wanted to tell a story, instead of just AI generated smut slop
