I think I saw a post from the ye olden days of tumblr about Choice of the Dragon. At the time the last of the Heroes trilogy was just coming out, so probably around 5 years ago now, crazy how time flies!

I remember reading online book in my mom phone and I was searching for new book to read which as you can guess, COG. āCreature Such As Weā was my ever first COG game I read then followed by āThe Sea Eternalā I think? I was like 15? When I played COG and I never stop ever since

I am a freelance coder and narrative designer. Finding out about CoG was more or less inevitable for me, especially as I started branching out from Twine, my first Text Adventure game engine, and went to learn more about my chosen area of study to other Interactive Fiction tools/engines. I first read about Choice of Games 2 years ago on Emily Shortās blog while reading through it for examples for a presentation on Interactive Fiction. Since then, Iāve been wanting to start a project to make a proper ChoiceScript game, but felt I needed more experience in writing more short works first so that I would be well enough disciplined.
About a month ago I felt confident to actually start designing a longer project, and CoG platform was ideal for this one. I plan on finishing my outline this week, and in the coming days I will probably post the first few chapters in the WIP section, when they are ready.

Same here! It was the Lost heir trilogy what brought me to the forum but It took me a year more to be a member of the forum.

I saw a lot of really cool fanart and fan theories for a game I found out later was Wayhaven, downloaded the game, and really enjoyed it. I didnāt get really into COG until randomly discovering Tally Ho later. And itās all been downhill from there

I was reading olaf and the dragon then got inspired to read more CYOA stories. I found life of wizard after googling and have been reading since then.

Long time ago, but I think it was because of Alter Ego (which Iām pretty sure I discovered through a Vsauce video, ah the nostalgia). I found Choice of the Dragon a little while later and the rest is history.
Well I found CoG through Zombie Exodus. I then found CoDragons and Lost Heir trilogy. This compelled me to search up the developers and I found a whole frickken forum. Never regret spending a few minutes to search it up.

Mostly reposted from a similar thread a couple of years ago:
I had seen a few CoG and HG games on the App Store as I browsed the Top RPG lost for ideas, and been tempted by Psy High and A Wise Use of Time. Never bit, because I was unsure about the stats, having never experienced IF as anything but my childhood collection of CYOA books.
Some time later, I had an idea. Not that unusual, even for me. But it struck me as a very good idea. Better than any creative one I had to date. It was for a SRPG or possibly RPG, with an absurd premise, and hopefully some fairly engaging gameplay. I have zero knowledge about gamemaking, though, so I had to go about looking for someone who did. But easier said than done. As a single income family with two little girls, my inability to provide much upfront renumeration was poison to finding willing collaborators.
While posting about the search on the forum where I used to play D&D, a couple of users mentioned that I should try to make it on my own, and to start down that road I should make a simple game myself. During that conversation, one person unwittingly changed the course of my creative career by mentioning Choice of Games. I came here in June of ā17, saw the contest, and knew I had to do this to see if I could. And here I am!
I still want to make the RPG someday, but I highly doubt it given the expenditure involved and how niche it would likely be. But just being able to publish not one, but two stories has meant a lot.

I canāt remember the circumstances of how I found itā¦but I discovered mobile armored marine and was really taken with Choice Games as a medium. Such a fun take on casual reading!
My first ever Choice Game was choice of dragon back when there was hardly any choice games at the time. I was just bored and wanted to find something different. so i went to the app store and went scrolling. Choice of dragon has a special place in my heart for this reason

I honestly just found it by searching text-based rpgs on my phone. I found I think it was Choice of the Dragon and discovered the rest of CoG through that.
Chronicon Apocalyptica came up in my Steam suggestions; I really liked it, and decided to find more of them! Which is really weird, and makes me realize how little I understand Steam suggestions - it recommended Chronicon Apocalyptica to me even though I had nothing remotely like it in my library, and now Iāve got so, so many COGs and HGs in my library, and Steam never recommends others to me!

I found mine on my Kindle fire and on Steam actually
I saw Choice of the Dragon in the app store not too long after it was released, and since it was free (or at least inexpensive, canāt remember which), I just went for it. I have been hooked on these games ever since.

I found it through a friend. We both have similar tastes and he always told me about the stories. So, I finally gave them a try and fell in love with them. I believe my first was Choice of Rebels; I remember liking it quite a bit because of some of the management of resources.
