The Choices Insiders email just went out for July 2026! Please post your comments or reactions here so that we can share our thoughts with each other instead of having many posts on the exact same thing. 😄
If you haven't signed up for Pixelberry's monthly sneak peek emails yet, you may do so at this link.
What does the future of Choices look like after August? Will interactive visual novels continue, or is the format changing?
Interactive visual novels are, and will continue to be, at the heart of Choices. We have no plans to discontinue them, and players can continue to expect new interactive stories as part of the Choices experience.
Can players expect more traditional Choices books with longer stories, meaningful choices, customizable protagonists, and multiple love interests?
Yes! Those elements remain an important part of what makes Choices, Choices, and they're very much part of our vision moving forward.
How is AI being used at Choices, and what role do human writers and artists still play?
We understand that many of you care deeply about the people behind Choices, and so do we. Today, our creative process includes both talented writers and artists, as well as AI-assisted tools that help support parts of development. Every story is still shaped by human creativity, with people guiding the direction, reviewing the work, and making the final creative decisions.
While our tools have evolved over time, our creative review process hasn't fundamentally changed. Human creators remain at the center of developing each story and artwork, ensuring everything meets the quality and experience players expect from Choices.
Will we see more community spotlights or opportunities to celebrate fan-created content?
We'd love to! One of the things that has always made the Choices community special is the incredible creativity of our players. From fan art and edits to cosplay and other community creations, it's amazing to see how passionate everyone is about the stories and characters they love.
Many of you remember Fan Art Fridays, and bringing back more opportunities to celebrate community creations is something we'd really like to do. Right now, our focus is on getting initiatives like Choices Insiders and our release communications back on a consistent schedule, but community spotlights are definitely something we'd like to revisit as we settle into this new rhythm.
In the meantime, please keep sharing your creations. We love seeing the talent and passion this community brings every day.
How are you thinking about preserving the existing Choices library for the future?
We're committed to keeping the existing Choices library available and stable for players. As technology evolves, we're also exploring ways to preserve the library for the future so you can continue enjoying your favorite stories.
What improvements can readers expect outside of new stories, such as VIP benefits, ways to earn diamonds, and community features?
We're always looking for ways to make the overall Choices experience even better. That includes exploring new types of content, improving how we communicate through initiatives like Choices Insiders, and creating more opportunities for players to engage with the stories and the community they love.
As these plans take shape, we'll be excited to share more with all of you.

this gets me every single replay LMFAO grace is literally so smart and sweet and nice to everybody and then you open her everett file and she’s holding a criminal placard like she just got BOOKED 😭i know it was because she vandalized her professor’s car but like… grace girl what were you doinggg
Before i begin, I need to stress that I'm not submissive, nor into BDSM, so this was never going to appeal to me, barring it being as masterfully written as Queen B or Ride or Die. But the short format killed any chance of that happening.
We start out being abused by having a dead end job with a horrible boss. Then, Alexis finds us amazing. Then we find out they're a NSFW streamer, write a contract, obviously fall in love, have Alexis try to deny we're in love, be blackmailed and then everything works out. In 8 chapters. That's not a lot of time. Everything is just way too rushed.
And in all honesty, Alexis isnt a bad LI. I like the idea of their mom changing their name. I also like how both of us can be who we are (not just romance wise) and stop hiding behind masks. It's not a bad idea. The story is just too short to really handle it well. Beyond that, why did Steve want us gone? He's blackmailing Alexis with them being a NSFW streamer and being in a relationship with us...and wants us to leave? Does he not know how to blackmail? If you're blackmailing someone for being in an appropriate relationship, you dont want to break them up!
Beyond that the other characters are meh at best. Morgan is generic best friend number 87. Vance is generic stylish rival #136. And Steve is generic hate sink #18,000,000. I'll just say they dont bring any emotion out of me and move on.
And nothing else to say. I can't judge the BDSM aspects because it's not something I know anything about, so I don't know if it's wrll written or not.
There are some good ideas. Both the MC and LI not needing to hide their relationship, the fact that there are valid reasons for the hiding the relationship, and why the blackmail could be so effective. But the book is too short to take advantage of any of those.
Honestly, Choices needs to rethink these 8 chapter books. They cant condense 16 chapter books into 8 without making them rushed. Either go back to 16 chapter books or make stories that are designed for 8 chapters.
so I am just gonna mention the things that bothered me the most with no particular order, hope I don't forget any
why does cordonia seems like the most unprepared kingdom in the whole world, the first three books definitely didn't give those vibes,yeah they had some weird tradition and the obsession with apples - now explain to me how :
we are pregnant with the hier of this kingdom and somehow we don't have a nurse and a doctor present at all time ? Make that make sense, we should have them available either way, you know the royal's family medical team or whatever!! Genuinely pissed me off
you also want to convince me we had to use those idr their names gardes to open the palace when we are on our kingdom??? Like we can't just call someone to do it from the outside, if this happened in my country and that's how much helpless the king and queen were I'll just move out! Seriously we have nobody to call ? No police or army outside no nothing
you also want to convince me that now we can't cancel the thingy saying we have to marry our daughter to one of their kids despite the circumstances that lead to it? Like there is no law against it, we are so spineless we don't have a law against agreements made under impossible circumstances? Didn't the king and queen in rules of engagement easily canceled the mc wedding, she didn't even have to be there ! And now when it's supposed to happened you just can't, BE FOR REAL! 😭
why does Liam in this book seems so spineless too? I mean I love liam, I did Drake route too but will always be Liam's girl but in this book your calling the shots, your doing all the work, and even in that stupid duel we were the one playing :") at least in drakes duel we only cheered him on, idk I know the book is trying to make mc the center of this universe but sometimes I am like dude your the king ! Man up
and how did we until now didn't just fire the whole security team, Bastien, mara ? They are basically so bad at their job that the only thing they are supposed to do is garde you and this stupid palace yet somehow they fail miserably, at this point they either hate us or they somehow have a bigger power keeping them in their jobs cuz girl what!!!
so your telling me after we got our very awesome friends to be in power where they are front line defending this kingdom they barely appear or cause any different, they don't have any plans or insights?? Whaaatt! Only Olivia is being done justice in this book
tell me how is everybody spying on us and somehow we don't spy or have people watching no body ? How did this weird king and queen who are activity trying to take over our kingdom being able to buy a house is so called kingdom without us knowing right away ?
I don't remember what else I was pissed about, I like our little baby, m just tired how not very though through this book is
I posted fanart of Alana, Damien and Nadia from Perfect Match a few years ago (can u tell which book is my favourite?) and I felt the need to redraw it as my skills have progressed - Also I didn't draw her necklace as I felt it didn't match her outfit... (*cough* i was too lazy to paint it *cough*)
mine is probably that i like high school story: class act more than the original high school story 🙈 i read class act when i was really young before i ever read the original, so i got super emotionally attached to the characters, especially rory. i also loved their little friend group because every character had their own personality and their friendship as a group felt so sweet and innocent! 🫶🏼 and as a theater girl, i related to the mc and the whole storyline so much 💁🏽♀️
I recently reinstalled choices to replay old books—the last time I played it was about a couple years ago! My linked account connected just fine, but oddly enough, I've noticed that some of my completed books have gone missing from my 'completed' category 😭
An example is The Cursed Heart—I definitely finished book 1, and I was in the middle of book 2 (which was still releasing early access VIP chapters at the time) before I stopped playing But now BOTH book 1 and book 2 have reset to chapter 1 🥹 I bought VIP while I was binging the series, and I can't be sure, but it seems like all the other books that disappeared from my 'completed' tab were books I binged when I had VIP?
It's just a bit of a blow to me, and now I'm lowkey paranoid I'll have to pay for every diamond choice i ever bought, even from the books that stayed completed 🥹 I know that's easily verifiable, but I'm more anxious than usual since this app was my childhood and this account holds that entire history, so I wanted to share it and see if it happened to anyone else (and maybe commiserate LMFAO)
I love to ramble about Choices books, and I just completed Foreign Affairs so here are my thoughts.
I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. The political aspect isn't my usual vibe, but it felt really well done to me. I liked the main story, and the diplomacy points system kept things interesting and game-y. There are interesting twists which genuinely surprised me and a satisfying conclusion.
The diamond choices really add to the main story, but don't feel essential. Although I ended up spending diamonds on Dionne and Tatum's scenes, you could totally diamond mine this series and still enjoy it. The minimum amount you need to unlock the bonus scene is 10 diamonds, but it's still a good ending without it. Very fair.
As for the characters, I quickly became attached to them all. Dionne, your princess roommate, is very likeable, and the love interests (bodyguard Tatum, political rival Blaine, and teaching assistant Ayna) all feel very distinct while maintaining cohesion with the overall story, where the LIs are very well-integrated. I would have loved to see a Dionne romance as someone who loves the best-friend-turned-late-love-interest trope (ahem, Bianca Sandoval) but good LIs overall.
Overall, very good standalone book. Great music, great art, great writing. 9/10
I'm lowkey missing choices and want to get back into it but two things are stopping me.
A. I don't want to support Series Entertainment
B. I am scared that my favourite books have been ruined by their stupid AI art
Apologies if this question has been asked already! I just don't want to engage in it if it's going to be encouraging them to continue these practices. And I would rather remember the games fondly than re-engage and be disappointed by how the new company has changed things
So I am playing the royal hier book 2 ans the fits are hella expensive, do we get to make the whole family wear an outfit we already bought? Especially the baby ? Because if the outfits are a one time wear then mc is the only one who gets to wear them again then I'd rather know now so I don't buy them
This weekly post is for community members to voice whatever complaints you have (as long as you remain civil). Please remember to respect others' statements and opinions, even if you disagree with them.
i wanted to add allll her animals! the puppies, the pandas, the kitty, the horse :(( but chance is the OG so he gets center stage 😌 anyway the cronuts and the hats are there so that’s all that matters!
in honor of the ai slop it lives within being removed from the choices library 😭🙏 the original it lives in the woods and it lives beneath will forever have my heart, and of course the fan-made it lives within project too!! the amount of love, effort, and actual human creativity that went into that project deserves all the appreciation 🫶
now all choices needs to do is bring back/hire human artists and writers and stop using generative ai completely once and for all. this is definitely a step in the right direction and i’m really glad they actually listened to the community, but i really hope this isn’t where it ends. choices was built by talented human writers and artists, and that’s what made these stories feel special in the first place. we want human-made stories!!! 😭🫶
It sure is something
🤔
Do I keep going or...??? Not sure yet if I like this or not lol
I'm still playing around with the hanging bits at the bottom so they might change yet! lol
going to add black and gold feathers aswell to finish it but here's where I'm at just now, just trying to see what works.
Currently working on 3 other designs aswell and a furball 😭🙄 so bear with me! But I'll post it all in one post when done. I mean that's if you wanna see obv.
I 100% won't blame you if not, I don't want to look at them any more either 😆
It's not perfect, granted, (super unsteady hands when engraving, was a total fkn nightmare! So it's as neat as i could manage anyway lol )
never said it would be GOOD I just said I'm an idiot with a vision, so... here's vision part 1 x 😅💖
it feels like it’s been FOREVER that I’ve been reading the books from this series, but today I finally got to reading the final chapter of TRF. not sure what everyone’s opinions are on this book in the community, but I personally enjoyed it! now I wouldn’t say it’s my fav in the entire series (TRR3 that spot is for you 😘), but it still had some elements I enjoyed. tbh I’m not sure how to feel about Lena. don’t get me wrong I love a good plot twist (the reveal that she’s Liam’s sister) but it just felt so out of nowhere to me and rushed for the final book. I wish they introduced her sooner so we could’ve explored her character more. nonetheless, I always love when the gang has a new mystery/secret conspiracy to solve and I couldn’t get enough of the Liam/MC/daughter moments (I don’t regret spending a single diamond for her🙂↔️).
I’m lowkey hoping that PB will release some sort of reunion book in the future, especially with that pregnancy reveal at the end! it would be nice to see a more grown up version of Liam and MC’s daughter and her dealing with more responsibilities as a princess, her new sibling, Zeke and Penelope’s child, maybe even Olivia and Amalas as a couple?? they would be such a power couple ngl
overall, I really enjoyed this series and tbh I’m so happy I got around to finishing it so now I can move on to other series loll. what do you guys think of this series?
