Lead the revolt against a bloodthirsty empire! You grew up under the iron fist of the Hegemony. Now is your chance to end their blood-fueled magic, as you forge a ragtag outlaw band into a rebel army. "Choice of Rebels: Uprising" is a 637,000 word interactive fantasy novel by Joel Havenstone, 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.

Win yeomen, helots, merchants, priests, and aristocrats over to the rebel cause...or turn them into your worst enemies. Will you defeat the army of the Hegemony’s Archon and the elite force of evil blood mages sent to destroy you, or will a personal betrayal put an end to your rebellion when it’s just barely begun? • Play as male or female, gay, straight, or ace. • Fight as a renegade, aristocrat, or defiant slave • Lead your outlaw band as a self-taught mage, a general, or a mystic priest • Reform the empire’s religion or start your own • Master the arcane magic of Theurgy and demolish the blood harvesters of the Hegemony • Find romance amongst your fellow young rebels • Root out spies, betrayers, and fend off a mutiny • Survive attacks from assassins, mages, and the mutant Plektoi hounds Will you gain a reputation as a compassionate idealist or ruthless insurgent?

  • Best choice of story game so far

    I’ve played around 20 of these games and I’d say this is the best one in terms of engagement/immersion, difficult choices, and differences your choices actually make. Well done. I eagerly await the sequel.
  • Love it

    I love interactive adventure stories like this. I finished the first one and it said a second would be out soon but can’t tell if it’s going to happen or not.
  • Phenomenal writing and world building

    As someone who has played quite a few choice-driven narratives, I can confidently say that this is without a doubt the best out there. The writing is excellent, the world engaging and interesting; you’d be hard-presses to find another that rivals the quality of Choice of Rebels: Uprising.
  • Amazing

    Amazing story. I can’t wait till the next one comes out. It would be neat to add some kind of cheat system I think. I would like to go back and do it again with like a money cheat or an influence and stat cheat. Just to see what all I could do with it
  • Extremely good, but not worth the price

    Honestly enjoyed the game to its most, but it’s not even the full game, and I wouldn’t doubt the next parts are the same price. If you lowered the price, it would be worth the money, but I could get better and more for the same price
  • A Brilliant Read, Even Better Narrative Gameplay

    This is my all time favorite from the Choice of Games library. Choice of Rebels: Uprising’s immaculately written branching story allows for tremendous possibilities which create a deeply immersive experience. The rebellion is as much a character as your main character as you directly influence both. Are you a charismatic revolutionary trying to smash every corrupt Hegemonic institution (all of them) or are you a brilliant strategist plotting to overthrow the government with as little shake up to the status quo as possible (you bourgeoisie bastard). Trying to survive in the wilderness while being hunted was so immersive it made me feel like I was in the film “Defiance” with Daniel Craig.

    One of the best, immersive story, plenty of freedom and well developed characters. When’s part two ?
  • Not only an amazing game but an amazing story

    The author clearly approaches this as a novel that can be played as a game rather than a game that can be read as a novel. This leads to compelling characters, thought provoking themes, and an endlessly fascinating world. Your choices heavily affect the outcomes later in the game. I’ve played through the entire thing multiple times and I’m still not even close to being tired of it. Can’t wait for the sequel.
  • We need a book two!

    Please!
  • Good overall, bad beginning.

    While this is one of my favorite Choice games, with characters you actually *care* about and meaningful choices, it's beginning is a large info-dump of exposition which was incredibly jarring and hard to follow. Finding what title meant what and what the social classes were shouldn't have taken a multiple paragraph pre-read in the built in lore book. Other than that, the book was an engaging read with multiple completely different endings and hidden choices. Unfortunately, during winter a few raids and events would repeat themselves. (Minor spoilers): The event where you raid the rich noble family with the guard on the top of the ladder you either fight or send others to fight I had occur twice in a playthrough. I'm pretty sure this is either a bug or an oversight, so I can forgive it more than the exposition.
