ChoiceScript Stories

Sitting quarantined in Fiji, what else is there to do but check out some videogames, especially my favorite kinds of interactive fiction. I discovered that there is a coding language called ChoiceScript which can be used to code in particular these multiple choice games. I discovered this through playing a number of games made by the company Choice of Games.

I discovered there is a site of free amateur written games coded with ChoiceScript. When I get back and assuming time permitting, I would love to code up one. Here are a few examples:

Recommendation - RE: Monarch

RE: Monarch

https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/37951/re-monarch

Cairn is a prince who is already tired of ruling. Faced with an imminent coronation and an overbearing father, he wants nothing more than to drown his responsibilities in cheap liquor and poor decisions. With the help of his sister, he hatches a plan to escape the clutches of the throne once and for all. It all goes terribly wrong, and Cairn finds his priorities shifting in the face of unimaginable tragedy. The change of heart comes too late, however, and Cairn dies. He reawakens to find himself transported ten years in the past. He immediately begins to plan for the future, only to discover his killer has somehow followed him. To succeed, Cairn must unite the kingdom and discover the motivation of his killer, using as many tries as it takes.
