Episode’s asking for intensely interactive story recommendations. What would you all recommend?

I’m not exactly sure what they mean by interactive. Stories where choices matter? Stories that have lots of mini games/tappables? Or either/both?

Here’s some (assuming either/both is fine):
Wanderlust Academy by Mavis
By the Book by Amberose
Detenu by J Miley
Hit and Run by me :rofl:

Lmao, when this is still in :air_quotes: beta :air_quotes:
But yes, I imagine they mean stories where your choices matter heavily. Less about dialogue choices and more about action choices that lead to consequences? I feel like mini games would not be a requirement but that most stories with minigames would naturally be a good fit.
Thank you for the recommendation :hugs:

Lol it’s likely going to be in beta forever.

This would be a cool shelf. Actually, I hope there are a few complete stories on there because stories that are already complete with multiple endings based on your choices would be fun.

Duemadiri by Vaena and Erin. This one is particularly impressive because it branches out into separate books with the four possible protagonists.

Clue: By The Book by amberose. Lots of customization, minigames, and nice personal options like whether or not I want my player character to drink or have a non-alcoholic alternative - no punishment by the game either way.

Proxy by Rozozzy. It gives you some difficult choices to make and is supposed to have 11 separate endings.

Electric Rhythm by Scotti was a fun reality show story. Essentially, you compete in a modern dance competition against others and try to keep the audience on your side/form strong relationships.

Will add more if I can think of any. :video_game:

Has Trials of Suburbia by TORIAH been featured before? It was one of the first community stories I ever read and I think it would be a good fit

I’m pretty sure it has because I think that’s how I found it.
Actually… I think one of my stories was on the same shelf :rofl:

I still need to replay this one because I didn’t get into the mean mum’s group lol

All I’m saying is that if By The Book isn’t on this shelf then what is Episode doing? I’ve never read a story on here that truly made you feel like your part of the story then this one. It’s a fun story appropriate for all ages I feel.

I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned it already but By the Book by Amberose would be a great fit for this shelf :smirk:

I’ll go on strike if By the Book doesn’t make this shelf.
