Today, Choice of Games is proud to announce two new
games. First, Psy High, the latest in our popular “Choice of Games” line of
multiple-choice interactive-fiction games, is now available on iOS, Android,
Kindle Fire, and, via the Chrome Web Store, Windows, OS X, and Linux.
Second, we’re announcing that Creatures Such as We is
now available for free on iOS, Android, and our web site.
Psy High — Read minds, fight evil, and save the junior
prom!
When the kids at your high school start developing
psychic powers, you and your friends must team up to stop the principal from
taking over the world!
Psy High is an interactive teen supernatural mystery
novel by Rebecca Slitt, where your choices control the story. It’s entirely
text-based–without graphics or sound effects–and fueled by the vast,
unstoppable power of your imagination.
Play as male or female; gay, straight, or bi. Will you
be a jock or a brain? Popular or ignored? Use your psychic powers to help
others, or to take what you want. Win a coveted scholarship, star in the Drama
Club play–or lose it all and spend your senior year in juvenile detention. How
much are you willing to sacrifice to get ahead in the world?
Can you solve the case? Can you save the school? And
most importantly, can you find a date to the prom?
a.. Solve mysteries in the classic teen-detective
genre with a supernatural twist
b.. Find your place in the cutthroat high-school
social scene: be an athlete, an actor, a brain, or a rebel
c.. Uncover the truth about your small town and its
secrets
d.. Instead of stopping the principal, why not steal
his powers for yourself, or even join him in his plan for world domination?
e.. Find your one true love, or more than one! (They
never talked about love triangles in trigonometry!)
Creatures Such as We – One of the Best Games of IFComp
Creatures Such as We by Lynnea Glasser is a
philosophical romance with game designers on the moon. It's available on iOS,
Android, and our web site for free, with no in-game advertisements and no
in-app purchases.
In Creatures Such as We, living on the moon is lonely,
and stressful, and exhausting. Video games have always offered you an escape to
a better life. The easy, happy life you wish you had. Which makes it so
frustrating when the game you’ve been playing ends badly. But you have a chance
to figure it out, because the next tourist group is the game’s designers. You
can debate with them about art, inspire them with the beauty of outer space,
get closer to any one specific designer in particular, and finally find out how
to get the ending you always wanted.
a.. Immerse in the beautiful setting of a moon-bound
tourist destination a tourist destination.
b.. Explore the meaning of gaming as a form of
artistic expression with a cast of game designers.
c.. Inspire profound discussions, courage, and even
love with the visiting space tourists.
d.. Six unique character paths, with options to be
romantic or maintain strict professionalism.
e.. Play both your character, and the character of
the game-within-a-game.
f.. Decide for yourself the best way to bridge the
gap between game players and designers.
g.. Inclusive options for gender identity,
orientation, race, and age.
Lynnea wrote Creatures Such as We in ChoiceScript as
part of the 20th Annual Interactive Fiction Competition (IFComp), where it took
second place.
One of the beautiful things about IFComp is that people
post lots and lots of online reviews for IFComp games. Leigh Alexander posted
about Creatures Such as We in The Guardian. Emily Short posted a full review
and highlighted it in her “top tier” (best of the competition) roundup, calling
it “Well-paced and richly written.”
We hope you enjoy playing Psy High and Creatures Such
as We. We encourage you to tell your friends about it, and recommend our games
on StumbleUpon, Facebook, Twitter, and other sites. Don’t forget: our initial
download rate determines our ranking on the App Store. The more times you
download in the first week, the better our games will rank.
