Choices That Matter Wiki

Many choice-based story games always seem to follow the same formula. Your choices never felt like they mattered and, in the end, they really didn’t. You always ended up at a same (or similar) ending, only slightly altered to fit some of the choices you’d made. But not this game. Every choice felt like it matter. Every little choice could, on one hand, save someone that you’d befriended. But that choice could also as easily get someone killed. It was a toss up and that’s what I liked so much about the stories in this game. It always has you on edge and makes you wonder if you’re making the decision. I’d definitely recommend giving this story game a go and play through each of the stories, especially if you’ve been looking for a ‘real’ choice based game for awhile. Also, I’d recommend purchasing the story pass. Not only does it make the experience a bit more enjoyable, but also allows you to support the developers and the writers who made this incredible game!

This is now my favorite app. I have just finished 'And The Sun Went Out', and I adored (and slightly hated) the ending. Though I could go into much detail and all the things I loved, I shall not spoil the ending for new comers to this lovely game. Though, I'm a wimp. I get really scared really easily. When I tapped on 'And their Souls were eaten' it said I had to be 13 or older to play this game. I'm 12. I'm slightly scared what I'll encounter when I start this next game when I turn 13. If I get nightmares (which doesn't happen often), I'm deleting the app, but overall, amazing game. I have a few issues to report. First: Sometimes I press a certain choice, and it does the opposite one. I was in a collapsing building and it gave me the option to save someone or run away. I chose 'Save someone', but it had me run away instead. I do not know if this is the actual consequence that happens, or it is actually a glitch. Second: You have spelled a few things wrong. Minor things, really, but I have noticed you spelled 'please' as 'pleaes' and 'on' as 'en'. Not that big a deal, though. This game makes the characters come to life. The wording is amazing, the choices are tough (especially in the end), and the whole aspect of the game is incredible. I am very much excited to be playing 'And Their Souls Were Eaten' and 'And Their Heroes Were Lost'. Great job, Tin Man Games!! ((Etienne and Moti 4 life.)) Sincerely, LupinLover15

This app is just perfect. It encompasses 3 stories right now. I read “and their heroes were lost” first before going back to “and the sun went out.” I love how you get so many choices. Sometimes, you don’t have the information to make an educated choice, and I love that because it’s how the situation would actually be in you were there. The writers really carve out a realistic and believable world for the stories. The music is suspenseful and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I also loved the fact that you can watch a ton of ads to get 3 tickets which is very generous. Although some may say the interface isn’t developed enough as other episodic games, I actually love the simple interface more. It lets you concentrate on the story, the plot, and your imagination rather than cementing how people or situations look. I like a little imaginative space. Nothing but rave compliments for this app!! Definitely buy if you love CYOA games!

I started playing “And The Sun Went Out” and I was absolutely ensnared by the captivating story! This game is absolutely fantastic! Never have I encountered a choices based game that was as friendly and reasonable as this one! This app never forces a negative outcome that I didn’t outright cause, like other similar games that punish you for being curious and making choices freely. This app builds a wonderful narrative and does not give all the information you want to know right away, I was left wondering who exactly my character was until I explored further in-game. I also extremely enjoy the ticket/choices function where you can wait for tickets or watch 15-30second ads for 3. This is a fantastic system and I can guarantee that I helped the developer’s ad revenue increase significantly! Overall, this is a wonderful app and I can’t wait to finish the first story and start the others!

1st story: I really like the Sun story. Pulled me in, and really liked the interaction between Moti and the main character. The ending I got I would consider very good. For a moment I thought it was not going to be good but I was able to turn it around. I will replay this story. 2nd story: it took a little bit to get hooked, but once I had a clear vision of the imagery, I was hooked! This was very interesting and honestly, someone should make a short movie about this. Out of the three, this story made me feel like every choice I made actually mattered. I think the ending I got was the most realistic ending. 3rd story: I liked the premise, and I was hooked instantly. The story dragged as I got into the middle, and found myself skipping through a lot of dialogue. Some of the choices in the middle seemed redundant or it would ask me to make a choice on events that didn’t seem impactful. I want to play it again and see if I get a better ending. Edit: just finished my 2nd play through of the 3rd story. It really takes you for a ride. And what makes this one stand out is that it takes you on a wildly different journey than the first playthrough. I think I got a good ending but it ended so abruptly! I will play again and see if I can save all of camp amnesia.

I hardly ever leave a review if I’m not getting anything in return (not nice, I know), but I just had to say something about this game. Choices That Matter drew me in right off the bat with its first story, “And The Sun Went Out.” I’ve spent so many nights literally losing sleep over this game, it’s crazy. I could not put my phone down. Personally, I quickly formed an emotional attachment to the characters, and found myself taking way too long to make certain decisions throughout the story. Despite the fact that I am extremely satisfied with the ending I got, I wouldn’t mind playing this story over and over to see more possible endings. This is truly an amazing game, and I absolutely cannot wait to read the other two. Thank you so much.

When I first downloaded the app, I had been let down my so many others that my expectations were set low. I started with “And Their Souls Were Eaten,” and had my expectations blown entirely out of the water. The stories are immersive, well-written, and allow you choices that actually impact the story without bringing about death and destruction to your party. The characters are lovely, usually all charming in their own right whilst being entirely different people. My favorite part about, at least, “And Their Souls Were Eaten,” is the lack of defining characteristics that the main character is given. You are free to be whatever you’d like in the story, without gender labels—a feature most apps usually miss the mark on.

I just finished the story of the Sun going out, and I have to say I teared up a bit at the ending. I’m aware that everyone will have very different experiences pending on their choices, but I throughly enjoyed every choice I took and resisted looking up any walkthroughs or the like, and I suggest anyone who wants to give this a shot to do the same. The storytelling is absolutely brilliant. I’m a casual writer myself and the twists and turns this story takes you on was enjoyable from the beginning to the end. I absolutely loved it, and I actually really enjoyed the simple interface. I didn’t need to see anyone’s images or faces or scenery because the writing was so good it was unnecessary! This is MUCH MUCH BETTER than any of the many Choices apps you’ll see, PLEASE give this a shot.

This is one of the first reviews I have written for an app, which should tell you how great I think it is. The story is so intriguing (I am currently reading ‘and the sun went out!) and the characters are so interesting. They are all brought to life in their own personal and unique ways. The simple interface is something I prefer, it is very similar to reading a classic book, rather than the way most CYOA games are formatted now. You never have to pay for certain choices which is very much appreciated, because that can ruin the story sometimes. The app is very generous with providing free tickets, and because of this I would easily consider purchasing tickets or a story pass to support the app. Good job!

I just finished as much as I could of “And their souls were eaten” (until the next update) and it was really good. I read through some of the ratings and noticed something. People were having trouble with the apple watch feature, but i think there’s a misunderstanding. Firstly, you have to press the settings icon, click the button labeled settings, and turn apple watch feature on. Secondly, the apple watch feature (for the story i did) only showed certain characters diolouge, not the whole story. I don’t love this, but I do think there should be an explanation within the app so people aren’t confused. unless you do these steps, the apple watch app doesn’t work and just shows the app icon.

This is one of the only apps I will willingly watch ads for. The stories are extremely well written, and the choices do really feel like they matter. You can tell that the writer(s) put a lot of thought and care into their stories. I also like that they give you options on how to obtain tickets. You can watch an ad, wait for a few hours, or buy the story. I've found too often where apps like this force you to pay or berate you with ads every minute. I would love to pay these writers for their hard work, but I'm unable to since I'm a minor and I don't have a job, and I'm really glad I can experience these beautiful stories without having to pay.

I’m not a book person myself or reading but this game has certainly open a interest to me, I may not have finished the game right now but I’m still interested and engaged to it so far that’s why I’m giving it a five star but I’m just scared that along the way that I’m reading in the game might get lazy and repetitive and I’m scared that might happen but you know I trust of the developer will Continue to work through the game because this is the only game that I watch ads and enjoy the ads because I feel the ads actually help me get what I want and I will continue watching ads so long as I can if the game is good that’s all

I have only read the “And Their Souls Were Eaten” story on this app so far but DANG!! It is so stinking good! I LOVE the detail and the great imagination the writers put into the story! I was blown away and completely enthralled by the authenticity of it all and it was so cool feeling like I was part of the story as well! There is also some music that plays which also draws you more into the story! The creators really went over and above to create something fantastic and I am so excited to start the other stories (or maybe even read the one I finished again with different choices!). So well done! I couldn’t recommend this app enough!

I downloaded this app because I love playing interactive story games. Let me tell you I was not disappointed, starting the app with reading the first out the three other stories, “And The Sun Went Out”. The story was a long playthrough, giving me an interesting plot and storylines, some plot twists, and countless decisions that let me tell you matter. I also love the way the creators allow you to replenish your tickets by either paying for the stories or by watching ads. I am definitely going to read the next two stories from this app and I hope to see move from the company, TinMan games. Happy reading everyone!
