Let's Play Lies Under Ice - CYOA base building sci-fi
« on: January 08, 2024, 10:18:15 am »



Let's play Lies Under Ice. It's a novella-length choice-based game about going to Europa. Any comments and suggested choices could make their way into future releases...



At any point, you can ask to look at the stats screen, like so:

Already second choice of the game and we'll have to make a choice that'll have ripple-on consequences for the entire colony. No pressure.

I like the sound of the crater with a dome over it, I say we go there.

I want life but I'll reluctantly throw in with the dome. We can go find life later, it's gonna be hard to build our own crater.

Not dying on impact is nice and all but this is clearly go big or go home territory already.

I say check on everyone: in case of injury Earth can't help right now but maybe I can.

That choice didn't seem like it did much, but it will actually come back to us in an interesting way in chapter 2. This next choice though... this will impact the rest of the game.

((I notice that there are two options that get us the title of "president". Perhaps the UE one should be "CEO"?))

My vote goes for Libertalia though. Commissar, if it makes a difference, but I'm ok with Captain too.

The rationale for there being two ways of being a president is that's how it is in our current day: Biden and Putin aren't on the same geopolitical 'side' but they're both presidents. Still, even more conceptual separation of the factions is a neat idea.
