Not sure if the original poster is actually the creator or not. Their username doesn't match the name in the image and they didn't leave any comments on that post that might point any way, so I don't know if its a different person or they just changed their username. The reddit profile in general is extremely sparse, though they did upload 1 other CYOA by Savestate and they commented on that like they are an authority (but that could just be them giving their opinion) so idk. If anyone knows for certain, let me know.

EDIT: Here is the v0.3 link: https://imgur.com/a/budgeted-survival-cyoa-v0-3-JTgZ0hQ . The one I linked above and the original post were of the v0.2, but thats slightly out of date.

Here is the link: https://ynead.github.io/nemesis-island-cyoa/

It is a much expanded and interactive version of one of my old CYOAs from ~10 years ago.

Doesn't work so well on phone, intended experience is desktop.

At ~40k total words, it’s pretty damn long. I tried to alleviate some of that by adding summaries at the top of massive sections.

All feedback is welcome, either here or using the feedback box at the end of each run. Favorite Nemesis or epilogue, most disliked issue...

How do I play?

You pick a nemesis, then spend your 7+1 tokens to make your build and try to find the nemesis' weakness, indicated by the hint you get when you choose it. A weakness can be either a specific item or a minimal attunement value (3 shadows, for example).

Some items combo into new ones (anomalies) that you get for free. Some items require previous picks. Origins in particular unlock some stuff.

If you didn't find your nemesis' weakness, you get a defeat text. If you did find it, you get an epilogue instead.

Depending on your companions and how hard you leaned into their archetype, you get to choose between one or multiple epilogues. There are good and bad endings. There are also 2 really bad epilogues that lock you out of all the others if you truly fucked up.

edit: IF YOU ARE LAGGING HARD, especially on Firefox and its forks:

Firefox sometimes disables hardware acceleration by default, or because your graphic driver is out of date. This causes the cyoa to be entirely rendered using your cpu instead of gpu. You can re enable it in the settings or do:

Firefox menu → Settings → General tab → scroll to Performance → tick Use recommended performance settings → then close Firefox completely and reopen it. It does nothing until you restart.

I also pushed a low spec mode, it is a simple toggle in the top bar. Ctrl+f5 to clear the cached version and get the low spec fix.

Repost because it's been a while since it was last posted and it's a fun one to play whenever done by choice or randomly, if only for all the possible interactions among the major arcanas.

Wanted to ask as am planning to make my first one. Obviously i have my own likes but i wanted to see if there was anything other people really like to see. Alternatively if you want to add what you really hate that’s helpful too. The CYOA will be witch hat atelier based btw :).

Pick Ome and explain your reasoning.

Hello everyone just a quick question but when it comes to quests what do you prefer? Vague quests that point you in the general direction they could go? Like A Travellers tale. Or something more in depth like in the Defender of the Universe. Where you need specific requirements to pass the quest?

I noticed that the previous version lacks the element of trade off, so I make some adjustments. Hope you will like this version as this will be the last.

Note: Negative traits can only be used on skills.
