Episode - Choose Your Story vs Journey
Episode - Choose Your Story
Episode - Choose Your Story is a rather interesting game that may bring to mind the choose-your-own-adventure gamebooks of old (at least for the kids from the 90s) though the game features a whole lot mote cheesy romance stories rather than epic dragon-slaying adventures. Catering to female teens and tweens, the stories are episodic and, unlike gamebooks, has animated characters. There isn't as many choices in this game as you might expect, with a lot of them mainly involving the changing of clothes - apparently, clothes makes a man... ahem, I mean lady. There are some obviously positive choices, which are highlighted in gold, from time to time, but in order to choose these choices, you have to spend premium gems. Naturally, you'll only have a limited amount of them until you have to start paying real money to buy more.Each episode of a story, with the exception of the first episode, will require passes to play too, but at least you'll get a nice number of passes for free daily. That said, it's nice to see how the app allows creative writers to monetize their stories in a more interesting way while earning a following in the process.
If you enjoy interactive stories with choices such as the Choices: Stories You Play, you'll love Episode - Choose Your Story. Do give it a try!
Journey
Journey is literally a quintessential "artsy" adventure game. Why so? Well, the game puts you in the shoes of a mysterious robed figure who you will control throughout your adventure across beautiful, quiet and mostly desert landscapes. Each landscape provides players with a puzzle to solve that will allow them to move on to the next scene, though players can simply roam around the place and drink in the gorgeous visuals.There isn't a lot of buttons in the game and that's fine enough since you really don't need much to solve the puzzles, but personally, I'm incredibly intrigued by the Sing function. Although it is used to solve certain puzzles, most of the time you'll probably be using it idly while your character is travelling. Depending on how long you press the button and how fast you do so, you can actually create amazing little tunes that you'd love to have it recorded down and turned into perhaps a ringtone or something.
That said, Journey is a game that's so much more than composing music and solving puzzles. It is a journey (like its namesake) to help the robed figure discover who he/she is and to help you figure out what's happened in the game world, resulting in the sprawling desert that spans most of the game.
