No one player can discover the entire story in a single play through. See how many other players visited the same place as you, each time you conclude a story arc.\n\nAre you ready for the most epic text based game out there?\n\n** OUR STORIES **\n\nADVENTURE 1: And The Sun Went Out\n\nApproximately 600,000 words and 2,400 choices in total!\n\nWhat if the sun inexplicably vanished only to return hours later? Investigate with your AI companion, Moti. Uncover conspiracies. Discover ancient religions. Travel the globe.\n\nFind out who is murdering scientists and what this has to do with the random disappearances of the sun. This is your journey, and only your choices can expose the truth.\n\nADVENTURE 2: And Their Souls Were Eaten\n\nYou have a gift. With your gift, the dead are never truly gone.\n\nBut what if there is a dark side to your gift? What if there are those who can pervert your talent, and alter the balance of life and death?\n\nTravel across a steampunk 1830s Europe, where metal is magical, giving powers to those who wear it. Learn more about your ancient gift and what it means for you, your family, and humanity. Uncover the nefarious plot to destroy all life... and fight against time to stop your enemy from destroying everything you hold dear.\n\nADVENTURE 3: And Their Heroes Were Lost\n\nYou wake up in a dirty prison cell with no memory of who you are. And, you're not alone. Who are the other prisoners? What are they to you? Are they your allies... or enemies?\n\nWill you escape? Try to find out who you are? Why did the people who captured you steal your memories—instead of just killing you? Travel the world as you uncover the details of a past that holds many secrets, and a future that is in peril.\n\n\"What’s really innovative about Choices...unlike traditional gamebooks that have a definite end, Choices: And the Sun Went Out is a continuing gamebook that will be updated weekly, allowing you to progress through the story over time. As you make choices in your story, it will advance in ways completely differently than other readers when weekly content is added.\" - PocketTactics.com\n\nThis app is supported by video ads which can be optionally disabled by purchasing a story pass.\n\nPrivacy policy: http://tinmangames.com.au/privacy/","facts":{"developer_id":318996102,"developer_url":"http://gamebookadventures.com","first_released":"2015-11-25T11:19:20Z","support_url":null,"privacy_url":null,"website_url":null,"app_version":"4.2.3","release_notes":"General bug fixes.","rating_current_version":4.57232,"rating_count_current_version":2254,"star_counts":null,"genres":["Games","Books","Roleplaying","Adventure"],"languages":["EN"],"content_advisories":["Infrequent/Mild Cartoon or Fantasy Violence","Infrequent/Mild Horror/Fear Themes"],"device_families":null,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-10-20T23:45:12.908Z","catalog_read_at":null,"reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":"2026-10-20T01:07:11.528Z","placed_at":"2026-10-20T00:49:11.525Z","scored_at":"2026-10-21T13:59:13.725Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"Free collection of branching text adventure stories inspired by Choose Your Own Adventure gamebooks, with three.","what_is":"Choices That Matter is a Games app containing a collection of text adventure stories similar to Choose Your Own Adventure books.
