Katawa Shoujo vs My Shelf: My Choice, My Episode
Katawa Shoujo
Katawa Shoujo is an anime-themed interactive novel which casts you into the role of a boy with a congenital heart defect, Hisao Nakai, who has been sent to the fictional Yamaku High School for disabled children when his health issues caused him to be hospitalized for extended periods of time. Despite struggling with his own problems and the common issues of growing up, you'll need to help Hisao find new friends and perhaps even a a girlfriend at school. The game features five main female characters who can be romanced by Hisao, each with their own storyline for you to explore.Katawa Shoujo is a heartwarming story-driven game that is mainly text-and-image-based. If this is the sort of game you like, you might want to check it out. Take note that the novel contains some adult materials.
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.
