Yeah, it’s possible to pull this off, but I’d have to be wary about the fact that it’s a CYOA book, where you make the choices for the MC, and, well, some players might be a bit disappointed that they don’t get to make a certain choice that would be absurd without the meta-knowledge.
But perhaps I’m overthinking this. Don’t know.
New concepts came to mind:
Last thing you remember was an artillery shell that landed nearby your position. When you wake up, the civil war is over and a “peace” treaty is signed between North and South Borealis. Problem is, you don’t remember which country you served under. You have no idea if you woke up in your or enemy’s country, no one does, in fact. Regardless, you’re given a new ID card and expected to serve the country you’re in.
It’s going to be randomized whether you belonged to North/South Borealis and whether you wake up in your/enemy country.
You, as a high ranked member of an organization, believe your current organization’s leader is corrupt and you join their right hand person to coup them. Then you discover that the actual corrupt person is the right hand and you come forward with everything. Despite that, you’re found guilty of High Treason and promptly executed…
Except, you wake up. Your entire body has been changed to the opposite gender, your face too. You can’t recognize yourself anymore. Then the leader comes and explains everything: They gave you a new chance to regain trust through serving from beginning, but extensive surgery were needed to make sure they don’t recognize you.
Those are won’t be developed for a loong time, but still wondering if any of them are interesting to y’all
Hey everyone 
Finally gotten around the idea of making my own Choicescript story. I’ve already gotten lots of attention on Tumblr—and was just wondering if anyone be would be interested in my first IF on here.
Without furthur ado…
(It’s pretty long bear with me)
BLOOD AND IRON (B&I) is a compelling and mature action interactive fiction, created for an adult audience. Inspired by gritty classics like Batman, John Wick, Ninja Assassin, The Punisher, and The Equalizer, this story contains explicit language, intense violence, gore, psychological stress, themes of trauma, abuse, and disturbing content. Reader discretion is advised.
Chicago, 1994.
Chicago bleeds quietly these days. Not in the headlines, but in basements, behind unmarked doors, in the flicker of broken streetlamps, no proper badge patrols.
The world didn’t ask if you were ready. It just kept turning and grinding down the soft parts until only the sharp edges remained.
Raised in a hidden facility outside Chicago, you were one of many children. An experiment in obedience, efficiency, and silence. They didn’t call it a home. They called it a program. And you survived it.
Barely.
They stripped your name. Trained your body. Broke your will, up until they didn’t.
You escaped.
The world didn’t know what to do with you.
But he did—the man who saved you, giving you a name, cover, and a second chance dressed up as a normal life.
By day, you blend seamlessly into the crowd, adopting a new name and working a steady job making pizzas. To the citizens of South Chicago, you’re just another face on the street.
But by night, you take on a different role—one that cleans up the shadows left by a broken system: dismantling organ trafficking rings, confronting human traffickers, and bringing to justice those killers shielded by power or wealth.
But this isn’t just an act of heroism on your part.
It’s personal.
You’re digging through the filth of this city, tearing up every buried secret, because somewhere beneath it all lies the truth.
The Facility.
And the man who ran it.
Whitaker.
He’s not on any official record—and the place that you escaped from doesn’t exist on paper.
But you remember the rooms. The drills. The screaming. The numbers burned into your skin like a barcode.
Every body you drop might be connected. Every whisper might lead back to him.
You’re not a hero.
You’re a survivor searching for the ghost of the man who made you—and the trail of blood he left behind.
The closer you get, the more unstable everything becomes—your past, your purpose, his goal.
You can follow orders. Break free. Burn it all down. But one question echoes through every silence:
Who will you become when you finally reach the end?

Thank you for hearing me out! I’m super eager to hear your thoughts, feedback, and any questions you might have 
Looks fun!
Hi Hoshi, welcome to the forum! Just to let you know that WIP threads require a demo, so I’ve moved your post to the interest check thread instead which is for ideas/pre-demo stories - feel free to create a WIP thread once you’re ready to share one. Best of luck with your project!
Hello everyone! I am thinking of writing a British line officers perspective in a battle of the war of the first coalition. It’d be pretty short considering this would be the first one i’ve ever done/written. Got inspired by seeing a bit of a rise in these line battle type games and honestly can’t get enough so figured i’d try my hand on one. Thanks!
Looks pretty interesting, love gritty, action packed stories with cool worldbuilding and ROs like you have here!
Thank you so much, I appreciate it!! 
It’ll take some time, but I know it’ll be worth it in the end.
I won’t lie this story has the potential to be something great
And I will see it through till it is 
Hello, I’ve been lurking and decided to make an account today to share my idea and see if people will be interested in it.
Title: Crumbs of Ivory and Ink
Genres: Dark Academia, Romance, Modern Fantasy
Summary:
At Blythewick Academy — a crumbling, ivy-covered university famed for its alchemy department and the study of ancient runic languages — tradition runs as deep as the roots beneath its ancient halls. Students whisper of secret societies, ghost-haunted libraries, and faculty who dabble in powers far older than its recorded history.
None, however, are more infamous than the Macadamian Circle: an elite, enigmatic club known for their extravagant midnight tea parties where every course is a puzzle, and every dessert comes laced with secrets.
You never intended to join them. But an unsigned invitation arrives — gold-inked, perfumed, impossible to ignore. Curiosity leads you into their gilded gatherings of candlelight and masks, where whispered toasts hide veiled threats and sugar-dusted confections conceal deadly truths. Their signature offering? The exquisite, melt-in-your-mouth white chocolate macadamia cookies, the symbol of their inner circle.
But by the time you realize your cookie has been poisoned, it’s already too late. You have six months to unravel the Circle’s web of old money rivalries, cursed bloodlines, and ancient, outlawed magic — or become just another name in Blythewick’s long history of scandal and quiet murder.
To survive, you’ll have to outwit the liars, seduce the ambitious, and awaken long-dormant powers of your own… before the next feast is held, and your place at the table becomes permanent.
Features:
The Clubs include:
The Dream Coven: a society of illusion mage specialists that teach others how to create and share dreamscapes
The Cuisine Coven: a collection of people who share their secrets in baking, cooking, brewing magic, or other kitchenery witchery.
The Cassette Coven: A collective of creative musical mages who find pleasure in songwriting, jamming, collecting albums, and producing thematic mixtapes. Though many members dabbled in digital production, the Cassette Coven mainly favors analog equipment. Less complicated to enchant.
The Sanctuary: A volunteer organization that helps rehabilitate cursed or corrupted creatures, dealing with the moral complexity of magic. They don’t just care for animals, they also help reintegrate magical beasts back into wild environments after rescue.
Notes:
Always love a good magic fantasy story set in an academy/school. Plus we get housed based on the entrance interview? Sign me up. I’d love to check this out once a demo is out! Hoping we get to actually attend class/subjects of our choice with exams and stuff.
This sounds like it could be a delightfully whimsical mystery story. Do you intend on striking a more comedic tone, or are you aiming for something a little darker? I could see this working very well with a mix of both.
I’m glad you like what I have so far. The classes (or majors) will be a huge component to the story. I plan for there to be more hands-on exams where you prove your knowledge in the field.
Tbh, I was worried people would be tired of magical school stories. So I’m really glad to receive some positive reception.
I intend it to have a more dark tone in some parts and more light-hearted tone in some parts. Don’t intend comedy since I’m not very good at humor. Thank your for your interest and comment, btw. Its encouraging that you like what I have so far.
I’ve been looking into the romance paths of this story and I ended up creating 4 love interests, two women, two men. It was double my initial proposal, but I feel its better this way.

Please let me know what you think! I hope everyone can find someone who’s route interests them.
What you have shown so far is promising so looking forward to seeing what you give us once a demo is ready.
An understandable the fear but its not saturated in my opinion to the point it doesnt have interest lol exspecially since not a lot of active demos that share school like themes of this nature.
Im exspecislly interested in how the interactions between characters are handled.
Ooh, I’m always a fan of magical school stories where the school part is emphasized, and this sounds like a good setup. I assume that the MC’s performance at the academy is one of the stats the player is balancing, along with progressing relationships and solving the Macadamian Circle’s puzzles?
Yes, exactly.
I’ve been craving a racing IF and didn’t find many, I’ve a feeling this’ll be niche, but who knows?
Burnout is a racing adventure heavily based by Formula 1. Follow your driver through their career as one of the few EVO 1 drivers.
You’ve lived and breathed racing ever since you were a child. It comes as naturally as eating and breathing, and you can’t imagine it being any different. having made a decent name for yourself through a years of karting and the early leagues of EVO Racing.
Now you’re at the top of EVO 2. The league just beneath EVO 1, the pinnacle of motorsports. It’s the final race of the championship and your last chance to claim the EVO 2 crown over your lifelong rival.
After EVO 2 the future is clear. Your performance in EVO 2 guarantees a spot in EVO 1, but how far will you really climb?
I’ll start by saying, I’m not sure how much of a focus the romance will take. But, given how much I enjoy them in IFs I’m including a few.
The Engineer
Simon/Simonne Lyons: Lyons is your race engineer, your eye in the sky and voice in your head (radio). Lyons is an unshakeable rock amidst the storm. Cold and calculating they help you keep your head straight during a race while tossing in a dry joke here and there.
The Mechanic
Oliver/Olivia Remington: Remington is your main mechanic and mans the front jack on the pit crew. Remington is known for being a workaholic and quite shy. They’re very friendly, but have a tendency to keep to themselves and get caught up in work. Talking about their work or seeing on race day and they’re a completely different person.
The Rival
Vicente/Viviana Serrano: Serrano has been your rival since you were thirteen. Serrano is emotional, competitive, and charming. To most Serrano is a passionate, enthusiastic, and kind person. To you, that could be an entirely different story.
The Teammate
Ji-ho/Ji-an Kang: Kang is a fellow racer who’s been in the same leagues as you, but generally has been a few places back. Kang is quiet and laid-back, generally just preferring to listen and hang out. When on the track though, they are fiercely competitive and deadly stoic.
Defintly interested in seeing how you develop the idea looks promising.
I don’t know much about racing, but this sounds like an interesting concept that could absolutely find an audience. My favorite of the romance options you’ve listed here is Lyon
