Choice of Robots

Choice of Robots is a 300,000-word interactive science-fiction novel by Kevin Gold. It is entirely text-based, with no graphics or sound effects, and your choices shape the story. You play a brilliant robot maker over thirty years, from graduate school near the present day to a future transformed by your robots.

Create and guide robots

You design a robot’s shape and choose what it calls you. Your choices can make your robots independent or obedient, clumsy or graceful, empathic or cold. You can teach them to love humanity or disdain it, instigate or prevent a robotic uprising, and build an artificial intelligence capable of taking control of the world’s governments.

Your choices can also lead you to start a war against the United States and win. You may marry a human or an advanced robot and start a family, or reach old age happily married or alone with only robots for company.

Shape your story

You can play as male or female, gay or straight. The story includes nine characters to romance, four alternate climax chapters and over seventy achievements.
