Hii if i buy an IF from steam (since it's always cheaper there) can i still play the game on my phone through the app? I would assume so right? It would just connect automatically on my account? Sorry if this sounds stupid i just want to make sure

This was years ago and I only played the first chapter, but as far as I recall, you were trying to find a buried treasure hidden on an island, and you were able to kill your captain to gain your independence.

I’m familiar with a lot of classics like Wayhaven and Jolly Good etc does anyone have recommendations for good ones that came out in the last year or so? Besides Unsupervised.

Also if you could play as a trans lesbian that would be great

Already played Fallen Hero and Vampire Nightroad

What games you've played (WIPs included) have the most time spent with ROs? No other requirements, deep friendship route characters instead of ROs are also fine.

As the title says! Give me all and any books that are in a series. Been feeling like reading smth long nowadays┐(￣ー￣)┌​

Also, don't mind if it's from Hosted, Hearts Choice, Choice of games, etc. Thank you! (⌒‿⌒)

Give me all the post apocalypse setting wips (specially when its zombies) that also are more focused in the emotional aspects and relationships more than just survival. For example i played telltale the walking dead and the last of us. I've played obviously exodus safe haven and after dark. I've would love is someone help me. Thank you!

Im going mad cause i cant find what i read long ago (btw sorry my English)

Asking here cause idk what to do anymore, bit confused if what i read is IF games or just some random novel i read

I just know the main plot is MC (idk if it gender locked or not, but i play as female) a reincarnation of this being (vampire maybe? For sure undead/immortal) soulmate.

Villain : is a witch that lives in the same time as RO/ML, but obsessed with him so doing dark magic and cursed ML. In present time (modern) this person hunting others witch to take their heart as source of her power. ofc with her main mission to kill MC.

You played a detective in a small town about finding a serial killer whose previous victim was your father. You also have a platonic childhood friend.

Is there some list/directory of actually completed games? As in that story is finished, it's not part 3 of 5 or there were next parts planned but never materialised.

So I came across Unsupervised and On The Run: Rogue Heroes I ended up going through them but the way they ended left me vaguely feeling like there should be a part 2 to both of them but I couldn't find anything so I was wondering if anybody knew anything about a part 2 for either of them or had any info on them. Thanks in advance for any info

I love interactive fiction and choicedriven stories, but I'm always struck by how much the genre is dominated by high fantasy, supernatural tropes, or sci-fi. Grounded, pure history seems incredibly rare in the space.

Do you think authors avoid real history because historical constraints limits player agency too much? Personally, I feel that navigating the real-world social and economic pressures of a 12th-century merchant or lore, where a single political misstep could ruin your lineag, can offer just as much narrative tension as managing magic points or fighting dragons.

If you were to dive into a massive, multi-chapter historical interactive story with zero fantasy elements, what specific era or setting would actually keep you hooked for hundreds of thousands of words?

I realise this is pretty specific, so I'll take any recs even if they don't fit the bill, or are not on cog. Any books where you play as a soldier/officer in the military, preferably based in the modern or sci-fi world?

I've played Whiskey Four and enjoyed it a lot, and I've also played The Operative. I'm currently having a look at Officer of the Fleet and War of 2022. Id appreciate the help, thanks 🙏🙏

Replaying this again and just wanted to point out how Mr. Sinclair Griffith is clearly the GOAT.

1. Mr. Griffith is a good teacher.

2. He's well dressed and well groomed.

3. Perceptive enough to notice when Hartmann is struggling.

4. He sees potential in Delacroix, encouraging them to apply for Reisinger University in every route. Something even their parents don't care about.

5. Treats Karson nicely and has a good relationship with them.

6. In the routes where MC is nice to him, he will step up to help them with reference letters and vouch for them in front of the School Inspector.

7. He's the only teacher who Lady Renaldt doesn't (cannot?) move against.

8. Pulled Ms. Dalca who's a baddie. Even before the events of the game, Mr. Griffith and Ms. Dalca are clearly an item.

9. Pulled Mr. Blanchard, a jock with nice hair, despite being a nerd, during the events of the game.

10. Good leadership qualities to become the Head Teacher when the game ends while keeping both his ROs with him.

hi all, i’ve just started with cog and was looking for some recs. so far, i’ve played two of harris powell smith’s IFs: cdlc and royal affairs.

i had seen these recommended quite a bit for their rival/frenemy ROs and while i didn’t have a terrible experience i felt there was a lot left to be desired in the romance department.

in cdlc, blaise was >!kinda barely there, and i felt like they got together too abruptly.!< in javi’s case, i just didn’t think the romance was compelling enough - there wasn’t much of a focus on it, but i did like the whole bit w them being pressured to marry bc of political reasons, despising each other’s guts, and yet falling in love anyways.

what i’m looking for specifically is a game with supremely good banter, and gradual, believable romantic progression. a RO that i don’t have to go out of my way to be nice to in order to progress the relationship if they’re uncharitable towards the MC. being brought together by circumstance/forcefully and taking a while to actually warm up to each other. doesn’t necessarily have to be a “villain” RO, just a dislike/hate-to-love type of relationship is good too!

as for the setting i’m open to anything if it’s good but i do tend to like political intrigue/court settings/noble/royalty stuff.

i also don’t mind plot heavy games as long as the romance is very good.

thank you!

I remember the MC joining a university or something and one of the ROs is a childhood friend who you used to play with. The RO had celebrities for parents who left her to grow with their uncle and aunt. The nickname was Elmo and we meet them again in University and the MC acts as if they don't remember them.
