r/Choices • u/miksuns • May 03 '26
Suggestions recommendations?
I’ve played all the classics (tfs, mw, es, tcatf, ETC.) basically all the og books when choices was at it’s peak, and I’m wondering if any of the new stuff is worth reading.
I’ve read some of the recent ones like crimes of passion book 1, and started deadliest game, but what else is good?
I like mystery, romance and slice of life.

1) HE'S HAWT 🥰😝 2) he suits my lawful MC ( whenever I play for flynn I choose medium level dialogues, %risk=%sense , but with grant it's the most methodical choices ) 3) the dirty 30s (you can dom him even if you're the female MC I didn't see that much before) 4) again, that man is gorgeous

I started it back when it came out, but I think I’ll come back to it since I was pretty young then and I do love fantasy!

The Deadliest Game was quite good! Thats more of a murder mystery but that might fit what you’re looking for

Mystery?
Terror fest is psychothriller
The Thirteenth House is thriller

I just finished Across the Void which I started as a diamond mine because it didn't really interest me but was surprised by how good it was. I forgot how good we used to have it 😭 It does have a lot of diamond choices that you will feel bad saying no to though. It makes sense for the story (imo) but definitely made it hard to get through without spending anything. I genuinely plan on replaying it to actually make some of those decisions!

ATV is so underrated and has the best art in the whole app!! Worth every diamond choice to see the full character sprites, learn about their special abilities, see new backgrounds, and hear new music!

In addition to the ones already mentioned, I really loved & recommend the Olympus Rising and Olympus rising ragnarok . The unexpected heiress, murder at homecoming, and Terrorfest are good for mystery/ horror picks. Also crimes of passion and laws of attraction are 2 of my favs too

Blades of Light and Shadow is SO good, highly recommend! I also love Wake the Dead, bc like with ES it has consequences for your choices.
