My Shelf: My Choice, My Episode vs Undertale
My Shelf: My Choice, My Episode
My Shelf: My Choice, My Episode is a mobile game that is quite similar to Episodes or Choices where you'll get to "experience" various stories and influence how the story goes by picking dialogue choices or making important appearance-based decisions based on what you wear and how you look. Whether you like the idea of engaging in high school drama or fall for a mysterious yet suave vampire, this game has all of these stories and more! New chapters and stories are also added on a weekly basis, so you'll definitely have enough stories to read and enjoy.Unlike the other story apps though, My Shelf doesn't seem to have a section that allows players to create their own stories. Maybe this is a feature that will be added in later down the road. After all, the game already has all the elements in place for such a feature.
So, overall, My Shelf: My Choice, My Episode is a pretty decent alternative to games like Episodes or Choices despite lacking a pretty key feature which allows players to create their own stories and share them with the community.
Undertale
Undertale is a rather unique RPG mainly because unlike most RPG which "encourages and promotes" violence, this game strives to be different; to be better by allowing you to use whatever persuasive skills you have to negotiate out of danger. Considering that the game is set in an underground world full of monsters, this is something you'll need to pretty often, but of course, if you want to do some killing, you can still do so. As it's not exactly the focus point of the game, the combat system is fairly simple and yet decent. It mainly revolves around accurately timing your attacks and dodges.Undertale also boasts of having an immersive storyline and a host of characters which you can either slay (you murderer!) or make friends with. Heck, according to the game, you can even date a skeleton... an all-bones, no-flesh skeleton!
Undertale definitely gives its players a really nice and unique perspective on the RPG genre. The game's alternative, non-violent paths also make you really think before you start hacking and slashing at the supposedly enemy, making every kill that you think is necessary carries a certain weight. Sounds like a game you'd like to try? Then, you definitely should check it out.
