(Which from polls seems to be uncommon for most games people are picking up.)īoth these things lead to bad reviews, which leads to poor sales, which leads to most authors not writing highly branched games that split into many different outcomes instead of following a branch and return type formula which is most common.Ĭhoices are part of the attraction, but can be used cosmetically, for significant direct changes, additive changes or delayed ones. So they feel cheated if they pay for a 200k story and were expecting close to that in story word count, but only get 30k on a playthrough unless you’re the kind of reader that wants to go back and explore all the other choices to get the full possibility of stories that could happen depending on the choices made. If it highly branches, you might only see 30-40k for example.ī) Many people only read games once or twice.
