Maria From Relics From The Lost Age

The Superlatives: Aetherfall has Lord/Lady Dusk (definitely my favourite RO in that game).

Fate of the Storm Gods has Shade (my joint-favourite RO, along with Cielo).

I loved the antagonist ROs that people have already mentioned in The Soul Stone Wars, Mecha Ace, and Sordwin too.

You can romance the Shadow Man in The Shadow Society (HG), but the first book only lays the groundwork for this path and there isn’t much in terms of actual romance yet.

And +1 for Hayden Winter (Evertree Saga). I like that one a lot.

Zhan in the Midnight Saga, hopefully releasing on August 4th.

Okay first off if there is already a thread for this can one of the mods take it down. Secondly I have come across multiple instances of people asking for game recommendations in the “What’s That Game” thread. So as to try and avoid future instances of that I have created this thread. Now on to the games I recommend people try.

Keeper of Day and Night. Books 1 and 2
The Great Tournament. Books 1 and 2
And last but not least Mecha Ace

Hi guys!

After having finished The Sword of Rhivenia (what’s available of it so far) and greatly enjoying it, I’m looking for kinda of similar games/wips. What would be your recommendations?

geldar · 2022-02-18T05:46:21.023Z

Hm, depends, similar in what way? TSoR has some very unique aspects and others that are fairly common.

Tess · 2022-02-18T05:50:29.310Z

Uhm, maybe it would be better put this way: If I enjoyed TSoR then what other games/wips do you think I would enjoy reading?

geldar · 2022-02-18T05:53:54.355Z

Maybe The War for the West? Really depends what about it you like though.

(Also this isn’t really a recommendation thread; maybe we shouldn’t get too far off topic)

Tess · 2022-02-18T06:04:46.949Z

Good recommendation, but I already played that (and it’s one of my favorite HGs). I guess I like the MC being an important noble/heir to a throne/ruler and political intriques (another game a played just lately despite having bought it long time ago was Tudor Intrigue, and now I liked that one too). Also I would prefer to not being part that the is have to MC live as a commoner and fighting to get back their birthright (so TLH, while it’s also a great game imo, wouldn’t work for me now either.)

You might want to check out Lords of Aswick.

Lords of Aswick - First of His Blood

With barely the merit or land needed to be nobility, choose your path to power and become your monarch’s trusted adviser or a defender of the faith.

@rose-court Whoops, I wasn’t aware of there being a recommendations thread. Sorry, for derailing another thread.

Drakona · 2022-02-23T03:09:50.686Z

First time writing a topic so don’t judge me to harshly. Just finished playing War for the West and I would like to know if there is any wips where you also play as nobility or royalty?

Hayden_Winter · 2022-02-23T03:11:44.128Z

There’s this one:

The Sword of Rhivenia: Book One (Submitted) Works In Progress

Hello, it’s me again The Sword of Rhivenia focuses on romance, family, leadership, and war. Unlike my previous work, The Unwanted Warrior (rip), there are no many locations in this game. Therefore, the story mainly takes place in a kingdom called Rhivenia. You play as a prince/princess in a castle full of intrigues and conspiracy. FULL DEMO There are three endings in the public demo. Patreon Demo I’m also active on Tumblr. Keep in mind that English is not my first language…

Big_fan1231 · 2022-02-23T03:17:13.819Z

There is a game suggestion topic already if I am not wrong

geldar · 2022-02-23T03:21:48.070Z

There are many of them. Were you specifically looking for something similar in concept to The War for the West? Or just anything where you play as a noble or royal?

Hayden_Winter · 2022-02-23T03:25:28.464Z

You’re right, I always forget that one exists.

Choice of Games and Hosted Games Recommendations -- Consolidated Thread General

Is there a list of the free (I take it that it’s advert-supported and not free-free) Choice of Games on each platform? And a similar list of of Hosted Games? I sometimes recommend games to people and when they’re asking for free (as opposed to demo with IAP to unlock the full game) it would be nice to know which ones I can suggest. If you were to recommend a game to someone completely new to interactive fiction, which game(s) would you pick, and why? Would these be different games to those you…

Drakona · 2022-02-23T04:51:01.684Z

Just really anything where you play as a royal or noble

DiamondVirus · 2022-03-01T21:28:54.296Z

Basically I’m curious if anyone has read some particularly feels inducing games/WIPS

Why? Cause I’m basic and love angst

Kelly_Seastar · 2022-03-24T17:10:15.933Z

Anyone know any CoGs (or HGs) that take place in Greece? I know VTM: Sins of the Sires takes place in Greece but I want more.
