Studfox Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I went in completely blind to this game when I saw it on sale this past week and was pleasantly surprised by the developers take on the text based choose-your-own-adventure style gameplay. It was extremely nostalgic to the fantasy CYOA books I would read as a kid. Does anyone know of similar games? I know the Dark Anthology games and Until Dawn are CYOA but I really liked that this was just text based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoesusHCrust Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) I wouldn't say that Until Dawn is in any way like a CYOA book. I would recommend giving 'The Return of the Obra Dinn' a go if you like minimalist, text heavy games. It's essentially a ghost story/detective game but very good. I think you'll enjoy it. You might like Undertale too if you like a minimalist style although I didn't like it at all! P.S. just read your 'signature'!! That's my world too! Fatherhood and gaming don't always fit together well, do they! I had to play 1 hr plats for the first year of my son's life! Anything more in-depth I just couldn't find time for!!!

Obra Dinn was an awesome game that definitely also scratched that nostalgia itch (I also agree about Undertale, didn't much care for it.) 5 minutes ago, Helyx said: https://www.50gameslike.com/games-like/ord/ps4 Really cool site, thanks for the heads up! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neocarleen Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Reviving this old post, but Choice of Life: Middle Ages and Monster Loves You are both text-based branching adventure games similar to Ord. But unless you want to include visual novels, there just aren't many more text-based games on PS4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyadamo Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 It's not really text based but I'd plump for Wheels of Aurelia in terms of trying to find all the different endings and having fun experimenting with the terrain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
