Psy High

This game is not perfect. In fact, its story is quite predictable. If you can put aside that the mystery isn't REALLY a mystery and more of a puzzle, then you will enjoy this game. If you, like me, love watching arbitrary sliders go up for acting like a Lannister, you will enjoy this game. If you had a good, or at least not-awful time in High School, chances are you will enjoy this game. It's not amazing, it doesn't have tons of depth. But it does have a lot of replayability, and the story it tells is interesting no matter what angle you come at it with, even if you want your Player Character to be a delinquent to a Model Citizen. Just don't click fast. The one bug is that clicking fast will cause text to not show up, or skip a scene entirely. Honestly, sell some trading cards and pick it up for change. You definately have worse ways to spend your time.

Short, but alright. The options felt a bit restictive to me though and it felt a bit generic. Didn't really get as invested in it. Cliches aren't nessacarily bad, just could've been better. I'd say I enjoyed Mecha Ace and Choice of Robots more. Maybe it's just my tastes getting in the way. Fortunately I think there's a demo for one to try out.

"Solve the case, save your school, find a date for prom!" Anyone remember Heroes? Save the cheerleader, save the world? Well, this game is nothing like Heroes, but for sure its something unique that you will probably enjoy playing/reading. Its an interactive story, like Telltale's Walking Dead game, but with nothing but the texts. Dont think that this game is cheesy or superfluous just becouse of the high school theme, the story can be simple and easy to understand, but will you face tons of hard choices to make, and you can take various different paths through the game. It kinda reminds me of my teenage high school times, and you will probably relate the game to your memories. I highly reccomend addint this title to your collection, its very cheap and it will be worth your time.

*edited to black out spoilers* This story was short, predictable, and easy. Sad, because I liked a few other stories from Choice of Games and would usually want to replay them. But not this one. First off, the characters' personalities barely had depth. No one was complex, which pretty much guaranteed my lack of attachments towards the characters. I didn't feel anything when making choices or reading because I couldn't relate to any of them. They were stereotypical to a fault. There were also a few inconsistencies in the story. For example I was holding a job, yet the father of the protagonist said that he was the only one making money if the mom lost her job... and then the game suggested that I had too many things to do, so I had to drop something. I ended up dropping the job since it didn't seem like it had any real significance to the story. The cash I made didn't have any bearing to the game at all. What was the point of getting a job if it was barely acknowledged? [spoiler] I...

Astonishingly poor. Very lazy and formulaic writing. While the author is mechanically literate and capable of basic plot planning, it reads like a condescending impassionate account of a middle aged person who is struggling with both remembering what those wacky tasteless dumb teenagers are supposed to be like and not falling asleep from the lack of any genuine interest in the subject matter. Needless to say, anything anyone might consider exciting about being a teenager is presented clinically at best. Often it's, again, condescending to a degree that is irksome even to someone who isn't a teenager anymore simply by the virtue of empathy. Which just makes you wonder who exactly was supposed to be the target audience of this work. Who is supposed to enjoy this oversimplified mockery of teenage life and why? I can only imagine perhaps pre-teens actually getting excited over this glimpse simply due to the fact that they're the only ones who might not know better and not realize just how ...

I love reading and I think CYOAs are a great way to immerse yourself in a story. But this is the lamest CYOA I've ever bought from Steam. This game is full of generic, forgettable characters and the writing is very dull. The writer somehow manages to take something cool and exciting and make it UNexciting and dull. Maybe making fun things suck is her superpower? In addition to that, in this story you go to school in what is practically San Francisco with Gay Pride Week and all. The writer specifies that you are happy to be there - as is everyone else in the story - and that if this or that happened, such as two boys going to the prom with each other, neither you nor anyone else would even blink because you and everyne else in this story supports that. I'm not being insulting to any LGBT people but come on. People are individuals and when a writer stupidly introduces an extremely divisive subject like homosexuality (or abortion or illegal immigration or any other unpleasant real-life su...

Game says : "this is your crush, love her/him" Me: "I don't give a fuck about her/him" Game: "Sorry, that isn't an option." ... What?

I played a lot of Choice of Games' interactive novels. I liked most of them, but I feel the need to downvote this one, especially as it received so much positive votes, I think I need to tell some negative things about this novel. First, the choices are way too obvious and non story-driven. I mean by "obvious" that, most of times, you know clearly what will be the consequences when you make a choice. And the worst is that these choices seem only there to provide a justification for the skills & stats: the choices basically are always "I'd like to solve this issue by using Magic, and improve my Magic stat" or "I'd use my Academics stat to pass this skill check". The consequence of these is that I never felt immersed in the story, strangely it gave the feeling that I was "grinding" my stats like in a MMORPG... And that's not what I want for a interactive novel. And on the story itself, I found it too simplistic. Maybe I placed my hopes too high for a "high school teenager drama", but c...

A very nice game! Some of the situations are predictable, but it still manages to get you into the story and makes you think about your choices. Choose to be love-erveryone-good or drug-selling-bad and deal with the consequences of your choices. It's not really expensive and I think it gives you enough playtime and fun for your money and more. You should really try picking it up!

Everything was going nice until a scene kinda broke the whole experience. [spoiler] I had just joined the Golden Crown Club, and my GF Taylor was happy about it. Then in the next scene she just walks up to me and says "Were done! I`m breaking up with you after THAT." Id didnt make any sense, and the game didnt said anything about "you were confuse about that" or "You didnt understand why that happend", it just went like "She broke up with you. Now what youre going to do?". Nothing against a break up (Oh it happend so many times IRL) but this is a crucial momment and it was poorly written. Ruined the experience for me. [/spoiler]
