Thou hast lost an eighth!
a new "Choice of…" game -- Choice of the Pirate
Has anyone played the "Choice of" series? They're text-based games that are RPG-ish to the degree that they include character customization and stat-building.
I know the guy who started the company, and they have a new game that just came out, Choice of the Pirate. Try it, it's only $2.99!
I have no idea if this one is any good, as I just this second bought it myself, and most of the games have different writers. But the previous entry in the series, Choice of Robots (also very cheap!) was pretty great, I thought, and really showed the company maturing. The course of the story diverges wildly based on your choices, and the game could end with the US conquered by China, or under the thumb of your own robot army, or on much smaller scale with a robot falling in love with another robot for the first time.
For example, the choice below isn't just cosmetic -- it will come up repeatedly through the course of the game, affecting how people react when they meet your robot and sometimes limiting which story threads are available to you.
So, uh, yeah -- buy my friend's stuff, everyone!
