path of martial arts is the more traditional sort of wuxia. aura clash deals with eastern martial arts as well but its less wuxia more dragon ball z/shonen anime type style. still pretty good, would recommend. theres also a new one called dao ascencion, but i havent played that one so i cant tell you about it.

Hello! I played the Affairs of the court and my character had relationship with the queen. Are there some other stories with age gap but also more focused on the romance than the story? But if not, even age gap in general is fine. Can you recommend something? Thanks!
I’ve enjoyed the Ferrado romance in Heart of Battle and the Nichol romance in The Play’s the Thing, both of which can be set to female. In my game Honor Bound, you can set your age and can therefore have romances with older or younger characters where there’s a gap in your ages.

You could try asking about this on the Interactive Fiction tumblr page? They’re very good at Rec Lists.

For a totally different take on the subject, try Donor. Is very often overlooked but very good.

Hey everyone! I’m curious to know which Choice of Games title left the biggest impact on you. Was it the gripping plot, the romance options, or a twist that caught you off guard?
Mine is “Choice of Robots”—I loved how deeply personal the story became based on my decisions.
Would love to hear your favorites and why they stood out!

Both are amazing stories.

Any ‘mentor\teacher\parent’ recommendations? Something that has you teach, raise, train someone and it’s a major part of the story, letting you see the progress of that person?
From the top of my head I remember Choice of Robots, and Don’t Date Werewolves but not much else.
In approximate order from most to least relevant:
I haven’t played The Parenting Simulator, but it’s exactly what it says on the tin.
I haven’t played Choice of Alexandria, but you play as the tutor of a prince of the Ptolemaic dynasty, and how you influence him as he grows is a major element of the game.
In Honor Bound, you’re hired as the bodyguard of a teenage girl at boarding school, and you’re in a position to offer her advice about friends, ambitions, identity, etc. You’ll also sometimes work together with her parent and/or school authorities in matters of safety or discipline. It’s possible to develop a romantic relationship with her parent.
The Last Monster Master is all about training intelligent monsters for their future careers. It has a sort of foster parent-cum-high school guidance counselor vibe.
In Bootlegger: Moonshine Empire, you have a little sister you’re responsible for, and you get to make decisions about how much to tell her about your life of crime and what sort of people will influence her most as she matures. It’s a fairly major subplot.
In Stronghold: A Hero’s Fate, you can raise a child and influence their values and choices as they grow. You also have a young protégée in the last few chapters.
I haven’t yet played Runt of the Litter, but it’s about raising and training a baby gryphon.
In Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven, you can end up as the guardian of your young nephew.
In Dragon Racer, you get to train your dragon … to race.
In The Luminous Underground, you take on a couple of new employees, which includes helping them learn what the job (think Ghostbusters) involves, both pragmatically and emotionally.
In Paradox Factor, you can travel back in time to make decisions that shape the lives of the people around you, including your children.
You have a student advisee in Professor of Magical Studies, and you can have an impact on his academic future, although it’s a pretty minor subplot.
In The Beast of Glenkildove, you can bond with your little cousin, make decisions about her future, and possibly become her guardian in the end.
In Brimstone Manor, you’re hired as the nanny to a toddler, and you can build a relationship with him, but you don’t really influence his character development.
