Choose Your Own Adventure With (not)Guilty


With all the powerful hardware packed into smartphones these days, text-based adventure games might seem obsolete. However, these games have a certain ‘je ne sais quois’, as they focus almost entirely on the story, so, more often than not it will be much more interesting and engaging than playing traditional games that heavily use visual representations and actions. These kinds of games lean onto the player’s imagination and moral or ethical compass and ultimately the game endings depend on the choices one makes while playing.

Text-based adventure for every murder-mystery fan

The rising popularity of text-based choose your own adventure games gave us a huge list of games we can play on our Android devices. The last one we tried is (not)Guilty, a murder mystery solving adventure in which we played as a lead suspect in a horrific murder trial. The story revolved around our choices in trying to escape the fate of being locked up in one of the country’s most dangerous, high security prison named Eden. The game took us on a journey of trying to discover the real killer and declare ourselves as innocent in front of the court.

(not)Guilty ended up being an amazing gaming experience with gripping storyline that kept us glued to our screens and always on our toes with it twists and turns. With the incorporation of multiple complex storylines and the various possible endings this game is true representation of how much fun and engaging a simple text and story based game can be.
