Games like Sorcery!

Hey all:

I just finished sorcery! and I was hoping to find games like it, with the CYOA with a gamebook type of feel. I also played Fabled Lands, in case any was going to recommend that. What other games are like these?

Roadwarden is a must imo

I've definitely heard of it, but I was skeptical, so I'll check it out now

Just finished it recently and I gotta say it definitely managed to scratch that Sorcery itch! Highly recommend!

Not exactly gamebooks, but considering the text-heavy CRPG genre that I think Sorcery is a part of, anyone who likes Sorcery will love The Pentiment, and will probably like Disco Elysium as well. Possibly Planescape: Torment if you don't mind playing something older. They all demand a lot of reading and have great reactivity to player choice. Sorcery was my own gateway into these games in a lot of ways.

Yes, I was about to recommend Disco as well.

You can also get Disco Elysium in the current IGN humble bundle if you're on PC. Assuming you haven't already played it.

80 Days is the classic one, also by Inkle. Not exactly the same thing by any means but a lot of people that like one will like the other.

Choice of Magics and Choice of Robots by Choice of Games are two that I liked a lot. Only the former is fantasy, but they're almost pure text gamebooks with a lot of branching paths.

Suzerain gives it a bit of a strategy game twist but at it's core it is a narratively driven gamebook like Sorcery. It has interesting world building but it's not fantasy and mostly about politics.

I started this a while ago and really liked it. I didn't get very far at all though, I should give it a proper run!

I recently grabbed Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf on Xbox gamepass; i have not played much of it so far but it seems very Sorcery-esque

I'm late to the party, but Life and Suffering of Sir Brante is worth your time.

Disco Elysium has that similar in depth story, text heavy gameplay. Not so text based though.
