High School Life vs My Story: Choose Your Own Path
High School Life
High School Life is an interactive story game that might be a bit simplistic. Instead of having a deep and well-hashed-out story, the most you'll be doing in this game is dressing up to meet and flirt with boys, and hopefully, you'll get a date to the school dance, be it Homecoming, Sadie Hawkins, Winter Formal, Valentine’s Day or the actual Prom. You don't get to spend a lot of time in the actual high school setting though, despite being a game titled as "High School Life".The characters in the game aren't very well-designed either. The boys in the game seem to look especially flat-faced and honestly, a bit on the ugly side of things. The "texting a friend" feature is pretty interesting but it would have been nice to have some sort of interaction with your BFF at school, where again, being a high-schooler, you should be spending most of your time at.
High School Life is a pretty shallow version of an interactive story game and hence, is a poor alternative to games like Episodes or Choices, but it might still be enjoyable for some players who like something simple.
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.
