Dear Esther vs My Story: Choose Your Own Path
Dear Esther
Dear Esther is one of the few rare games that managed to evoke strong powerful emotions simply with beautiful visuals, euphonious instrumentals, and an immersive and narrated story filled with love, loss, guilt and redemption. Previously a cult mod, the game sends you on a journey of exploration and self-reflection as you explore a remote and uninhabited island in the outskirts of Hebrides where apparently a mysterious Esther has summoned you here.The best part about all of this though is that the game is, unlike most heavily story-driven games, very replayable. Every play-through will give you a new experience as the audio, visuals and even the events that happen are all randomly generated. So, if you enjoy story rich games, Dear Esther is a game that will unequivocally captivate you.
My Story: Choose Your Own Path
My Story: Choose Your Own Path is an interactive story game where you can choose your own narrative by picking the dialogue option that you like the most during, usually, a pretty critical moment in the game. Your choices will affect the course of the storyline, determining your relationship with the friends in the plot, your popularity as well as who you'll be able to date. Similar to games like Choices or Episodes, you get to personalize your character and choose a fitting hairstyle and clothes.The only downside though is that updates are a bit slow in this game. A new chapter for a story you like may take months to arrive. Not to mention, some players have suggested that the game might want to add more options for players to earn free diamonds and tickets, and this, in turn, may point out that the game may be a bit pay-to-play... as in, you'll need to spend real money to buy premium currency if you plan on uncovering the the actual deeper version of the story rather than the skim-the-surface one.
All in all, My Story: Choose Your Own Path is incredibly similar to Choices and Episodes in so many ways. Fans of the latter games might enjoy playing this one as well.
