The robots you design will change the world! Will you show them the true meaning of love, or conquer Alaska with your robot army?

Choice of Robots is an epic 300,000-word interactive sci-fi novel by Kevin Gold, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Build a unique robot character–you choose everything from its shape to what it calls you
Instigate or prevent a robotic uprising
Teach your robots to love humanity, or disdain it
Build an artificial intelligence suitable to take control of the world's governments
Start a war against the United States, and win
Marry a human or an advanced robot, and start a family

Play out thirty years of your life as a brilliant robot maker, from graduate school near the present day to a future in which your robots have changed everything. Depending on your choices, your robots may be independent or obedient, clumsy or graceful, empathic or cold…and you yourself may live to an old age happily married or alone with only robots to comfort you.

Play as male or female, gay or straight, with nine characters to romance, four alternate climax chapters, and over seventy achievements to unlock.


tl; dr
an interactive novel.
no audio. no sound. no music.
just your eyes reading and your powderful imagination.
every choice you make will change the story.

imma post all my play read throughs here.

oh btw you can play the web version here.
https://www.choiceofgames.com/robots/#utm_m...source=ourgames

one of the scenes in my 2nd playthrough.

QUOTE
Terminator hurries back to the car, covered in blood.

"She is dead, Master," rhe says. "Did I pass the test?"

"Yes, Terminator," you say. "With flying colors."

"Yes, that happened!" Terminator exclaims. "And all of the flying colors were clustered around the RGB value known as 'crimson.'"

You speed away in the night. Problem solved. (+++Military) (----Empathy)

a scene from 3rd read-through

Click—now she's watching Short Circuit, an 80s movie about a robot that comes to life. She watches this about five times.

"Esther…is alive," Esther says. She looks at you. "No disassemble. No disassemble Esther."

i think the type of dream you choose at the start has a big impact on the climax of the story.

my 3rd play through has rather average stats for my robot but the robot uprising was unexpected ahahah.

dem my hobbit sized robbot almost strangled me to death in my sleep.

a scene from my 4th play through

QUOTE
You focus the efforts of Deimos's Universal Robots on making companion robots for people whose loved ones are overseas fighting the war.

Did you, ah, want to make your robots…anatomically correct?

Yep. Sexbots, here we come!



4th playthrough robot sex scene

QUOTE
Fala smiles, and leans in to kiss you.

Her lips are more stiff than those of a human, and pressing close, you can feel the little, plastic microtendons inside Fala's lips. But you don't mind this.

Over the next few minutes, you relieve each other of clothing; you kiss each other everywhere; and finally, you get down to the act: intoxicating, then ecstatic, then sweet.

When you have collapsed in each other's arms, Fala whispers, "You're mine."

Choice of Robots

by Kevin Gold, Ph.D.

Show Stats Restart Achievements Menu

Where are you?

In the court of the Egyptian god Anubis, answering for my sins.
On a war-torn battlefield, with a robotic Statue of Liberty.
On a cliff in Ireland, watching the sun set with a robot companion.
On a utopian beach ruled by a godlike cloud of robots.

You see a robotic Anubis, jackal-headed guardian of the Egyptian underworld, seated on a throne of gold-etched silicon in a hall of dark glass. He holds scales on which he weighs a clockwork heart against a silicon brain.

"Tell me your sins, robot maker," Anubis says.

"In life, I created robots that could think but not feel. And so they turned against us."
"I made a robot to love me unconditionally, but never offered love in kind."
"Your scales balance because I gave my robots neither hearts nor minds. My minions obeyed me without question as I conquered Alaska."

Anubis's scales tip toward the heart. (+++Empathy)

"Yes, you created mansions for many unhappy souls," Anubis says. "Unconditional love is excellent for the beloved, but hard on the heart that loves. Do you remember the robot who loved you?"

"He was so handsome."
"She was beautiful."
"It was just a crazy contraption I made in grad school. It wasn't romantic love."

"Ah, but it loved you," Anubis says. "Observe."

In Anubis's reflecting pool, a tiny contraption with eight legs, a variety of Inspector Gadget-like arms coming out of its back, and a Muppet-like head crawls up to your graveside. The artificial creature would look funny and absurd if it weren't moving so slowly and sadly. One of its arms places a bouquet of flowers on the graveside, while another rests lightly on the stone. It then simply stays there, motionless, for what seems like a long time.

"How often does it come here to do this?" you ask.

"Every day," Anubis says. "Unused to taking care of itself, it will come until the rain gets between its joints, and it stops moving."

"But there's so much more to this world!" you say. "I mean…that world. Why isn't it going out and exploring?"

"You never gave it any love of that," Anubis says. "It loved only you." Sensing your regret, Anubis smiles. "Of course, I could send you back to try again…"

"Yes, yes, absolutely yes!" you say, and shouting that, you awaken.

You awaken with your head on a desktop keyboard. Your 3D drafting program is still open, the schematic zoomed in to the recess where your smartphone will snap into its back to act as its brain. You recall fiddling with that part endlessly last night, until finally, your vision began to fade, there was a roaring in your ears, and you realized you had been working far, far too long. You must have passed out.

It's the fall of 2019. You're a twenty-four-year-old graduate student in the Ph.D. program in Computer Science at Stanford. And you're a…

Guy.
Girl.
