Choices: Stories You Play

AI Slop Very disappointed in the direction this app is going. I used to spend so much time and money on this app because it had better storylines and art styles than its competitors. I fell in love with the og stories like the Freshman and I would go back and replay them over and over again. I admit I felt like the quality of the writing has been steadily going down for the past couple of years as they focused more and more on romance-centered stories and less on other genres. I didn’t even hold it against them. I’m sure that’s where the money was. But I recently logged in to check for updates on series and was excited to see that the It Follows series had a new sequel. I enjoyed the first two immensely. Only to be redirected to another website where the story comprised completely of AI generated content. I am disgusted by the lack of creativity. I am deleting the app after being a long time customer for years. It’s truly the end of an era.

What is going on? Not only has AI taken over the app, I just finished one of the newest books that was only 5 chapters, which is bad enough when we used to get 15+, but the story ended so abruptly I was literally shocked. No closure, no explanation, it just ended randomly. Also, the diamond choices have gotten almost twice as expensive. This used to be the best stories app, now it’s swiftly becoming the worst.

A Heartbreak I have been playing this game since I started college in 2017, and the past few years the app has become butchered. So many stories on here have really meant a lot to me, thats the only reason the app is still on my phone, to revisit what used to be but its hard to see what its become. Almost every story has these ai avatars that turn into a new person every time they change expression in this horrific to watch morphing. I used to admite the backgrounds for several minutes when theres a new one or I see an old favorite, but now I regularly cringe at the slop they put behind the text now. I loved the Crimes Of Passion series but I havent finished the latest release because a lot of it is unpleasent to look at. My favorite was the It Lives Anthology for the art, the details, the clear heart that went into it and when I saw the new ai video story for it I havent been able yo really open or look at the app for months. Like putting aside any moral qualms about ai, its terrible quality. No more new art, these bizarre shiny animations, the awkward flat soulless voice. It was heartbreaking to see one of my favorite stories, one that has had such a deep impact on my own creative indeavors be turned into this terrible stilted lifeless slop. Honestly its been one hell of a decade but I think its time I put my love for this game aside since there is no sign of it ever getting better again.
