So far, I’ve been thinking to make it a short story, and focus on the loneliness that would happen if you were in this position for so long. But there is a cat to keep you company! And yes, the lack of NPCs could be an issue, so I’ll refine the story more. Maybe Act 1 could be all the fun and games then loneliness, then Act 2 could be meeting people in the same boat as you lol

What about a game where you’re struck by lightning and then teleported back to when you were a baby, but you keep all of your current knowledge?

Thats more book material than interactive fiction

I think anything can be made into an interactive fiction. What matters is having choices, branching, and different endings.
Maybe like you’re 6 years old and in school and you can choose to show off your knowledge, and then people think you’re a genius but they are scared of you, or you can lay low and coast

Does time play again how it did before the lightning or is everything new and different? You could write it as something reliving what you wanted in the past or doing something you’ve done to regret and changing that
I think it actually teleports you back in time so you are like exactly before in time. But if you do things that are “too different” from what you did previously, then the timeline might change. It could change more the more that you differed from what you did
Oh that’s interesting! I’d like to see how far we can do “different” and what that can do to the timeline. Interesting idea so far :>

I might do a few things differently, but I think it would be more frustrating than helpful. Imagine knowing a bunch of things will happen but not being able to affect (or profit from) its outcome. You won’t be able to prevent wars or terrorist attacks, and you probably won’t be able to convince your parents to buy stock for certain companies as a child.
The only thing you can affect is your immediate personal life, and the more you change it, the less it resembles your previous life. So at some point, you’d be back to making bad choices in the dark, because you don’t know the future anymore.
I think it could work better as interactive fiction if it was like some of those endless light novels/manhwas where the protagonist is betrayed and killed and wakes up a couple months or years prior and now they have time to expose the people that backstabbed them.

Honestly what would you want there, like romance, action, uh self fulfilment fantasy?
Honestly I feel like it works better as a book, with IFs there comes a certain level of butterflying and with there being the original timeline. How would that translate into info for the player? do you put it in an information section on the stat page, should the information slowly disappear unless you give the PC perfect memory.
how much does the PC’s actions change the future of the new timeline, not meeting one person does one etc.
I wonder what happened here.

I’ve always been somewhat creative and loved books and narative games. But never thought I was that good at writing. I’ Have this character I made in my early 20’s that I use for everything. Video games, table top you name it. Any way I just started writing down this characters story. I’m just doing a general interest check here. Does anyone like what they see? Or am I wasting my time?

It’s very cool, thenfirst couple images aren’t loading for me and I am forced to ask. Will there be choices included?
Didnt really intend to make it a game. I suck at coding. Never really thought I could be half decent at writting. I just have this story in my head for a character that I created a decade ago and know very well after many hours playing him in countless video games like mount and blade, elder scrolls then dnd. Just felt the need the write it down.
Hello It’s me again, International best selling Author Quan Millz….I mean funwari.
I have you 3 BANGER ideas that I can’t decide on so I’ve brought it out to the public for some input.
Disclaimer: Titles are subject to change.
Low class mercenary’s adventure in a fantasy world
Genre: Sci-fi, Fantasy, Action
You were just another mercenary drifting among the stars—until everything went to hell.
A mission gone wrong.
An ambush in deep space.
A desperate warp jump through an uncharted sector.
When the smoke clears, your ship is wrecked, your pursuers are gone, and you’ve crash-landed on a world where magic reigns and steel bows to spells. Your gear is failing, your supplies are limited, and monsters roam the wild. To survive, you’ll need to adapt… or die.
The Adventurers’ Guild offers shelter, coin, and a chance to start over. But survival isn’t your only choice. You could rebuild your ship, rise as a power in this new world—or burn everything down.
Features:
-
Scavenge and salvage your crashed ship to keep your technology alive—or trade it for local power.
-
Join the Adventurers’ Guild to take on high-risk quests, hunt monsters, and claim rare resources like mithril.
-
Learn magic and combine it with technology.
-
Build alliances or rivalries with other adventurers or factions.
-
Decide your fate: escape the planet or carve out a new life.
-
Shape your identity as an adventurer, innovator, or hero.
Rookie Hero fakes it till they make it
Genre: Superhero, Action
In a world where superpowers are common, yours is… different. You grow stronger when people believe in you. If they think you can fly, you can. If they believe you’re unstoppable, maybe you are.
But belief is fickle. In a society ruled by hero associations, flashy agencies, and viral fame, your legend can rise overnight—or vanish in a heartbeat. Strength isn’t just built in the gym or the battlefield… it’s built in the spotlight.
Will you become a symbol of hope, a media star or fizzle out?
Features:
-
Stream your exploits to grow your fanbase—or let word of mouth build your myth.
-
Earn sponsorships, ads, and merchandise deals as your popularity rises.
-
Register with the Hero Association to earn your rank, then choose to work solo or join an agency—each with unique perks and politics.
-
Climb the hero rankings to gain fame, power, and influence—or burn it all down.
-
Forge your fighting style to match what people believe you can do.
-
Face rival heroes, criminals, and those who want to control public perception.
-
Build alliances, rivalries, or romances in a world where reputation is everything.
Transmigrated into a cultivation world with a system
Genre: Xianxia, Action, Cultivation and maybe a bit of Murim we will see how I’m feeling
The path to immortality is long and your journey starts from the bottom… actually a place above the bottom.
You’ve transmigrated into the body of a young member of a minor clan, a family with little power or prestige on the empire’s grand stage. When the Imperial sect announces their entrance exams, your clan spends its meager wealth to give you a single shot at glory.
But in a world where only cultivators can rise above their station, there’s just one problem: you were born without the ability to cultivate.
Until the System awakens.
Will you seize this second chance, rise through blood and spirit, or disappear like countless nameless disciples before you?
Features:
-
Choose your clan background (martial or scholarly), shaping your early advantages and story hooks.
-
Customise your character’s style, talents, and personality.
-
Pick your fighting style — blade, talisman, fist, or something else
-
Climb through the sect and earn your place.
-
Raise your cultivation higher to become an immortal.
-
Forge bonds, make enemies, and rise through the sect’s deadly hierarchy.
-
Decide whether the System will be your tool… or your undoing.
You may be wondering why no ROs and if there is romance, yes there will be. You ever played an IF and fall for a non-RO character instead of a RO character well to fix that issue I’ve decided to make every character romanceable…that is a lie I don’t have that in me but you can be friendly with the characters and top 3 of male and females you guys like will be voted upon and be romanceable and stuff.
Disclaimer 2#: All of this stuff is subject to change.
Anyways which choice script game do you see yourself enjoying the most?
- Low class mercenary’s adventure in a fantasy world
- Rookie Hero fakes it till he makes it
- Transmigrated into a cultivation world with a system
