You may also want to check out a game called Papers, Please if the whole choice part of the choose your own adventure is what you're interested in.

Also, I forgot to recommend some game: Steins;Gate and Robotics;Notes are both fantastic. There's also Digital: A Love Story and Analog: A Hate Story.

God, how did I forget this? How stupid am I?

Acadamagia is a self improvement type chose your own adventure game where your character attends a Magic Academy. It is, literally, the single most in depth raising sim I've ever played. This is the skill list:

All those skills do something. Every last one. Yes, even worms.

Offline sim. Basically a kid raising sim where you play as the kid. You spend one year at a magic academy, and there are tons of events. So many you'd probably play through the game ten times and not see them all.

I bet students from Hogwards would love the game.

(Pssssst. Erryone Play Dwarf Fortress)

(Except Wulf, because it would cause his dinosaur computer to go critical and sink Florida.)

 Hey, my dinosaur computer has character.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I haven't had the pleasure. Is it good?

[Zaleramancer]

Do you like Dwarves?

Do you like digging?

Do you like death?

Do you like massive overcomplication?

Do you like ACSI graphics?

Try Dwarf Fortress! It's like Minecraft Meets The Sims!

WITH EXTRA !!FUN!!

(That's fun ON FIRE)

...let me get this straight.

You first blockaded your entire landmass, planting statues along the edging to prevent any wildlife from entering, disrupting the migration habits and breeding of local terrestrial creatures, as well as probably annoying caravans to no end.

Then, you drained the ocean so that you could attempt to catch TWO animals only, with supermassive whales and sharks as a mere byproduct and entire freestanding structures in the middle of the ocean being mere attempts.  And after all this, you're still capable of draining the entire ocean at will.

 Oh, dear.

[Zaleramancer]

I recommend reading some of the Let's Plays in order to get a good feel for what it's like.

Boatmurdered details a game from one of the past versions, but it's quite (in)famous.

And very entertaining, especially as it goes along.

[WonderDrow]

An overcomplicated 8-bit digging game huh.  

Is it something you can play online with other players?


On a side-note. Last weekend, my GW2 world managed to defeat the evolved Tequatl The Sunless.
It could only be done because there was coordination of the many players via a dedicated teamspeak channel.
After several close call attempts.
The victory felt epic.

[Zaleramancer]

Nah, multiplayer is usually the result of the above: sending the save to other people.

I like it because it generates an entire history of the world just to provide things for your dwarves to carve into walls.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Oh, are we talking about Dwarf Fortress?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Sweet Dwarven mothers.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Yeah, they all pretty much end like that.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

You have piqued my interests.

[Zaleramancer]

I've built an arena.

It currently has two cougars and a jaguar, but I have plans to replace them with a forgotten beast or minotaur or similar at first opportunity.

[Zaleramancer]

The Queen has arrived!

I've given her the finest room I could create: Gold, Silver and Platinum abound.

Even the most wonderful table our master smiths could devise:



Our finest engravers brought forth their craft to ensure that the entirety of her room was covered in depictions of the past and statues cast from silver and platinum adorn the room itself.

Because of her frail constitution and the value I place in our dwarven heritage, I took the liberty of installing iron bars across the entrance to the room in order to protect our beloved monarch from the cruelty of goblin malice and bestial rage.

Nothing shall be able to enter in order to cause her harm.

LONG LIVE RAKUST DANGLEDTORCH, QUEEN OF THE DWARVES

Since she's a bloody vampire, that's going to be a very long time.
