Description

Fight on the front lines of the war between humanity and the hideous Blobs. (Not that anyone has actually seen a Blob up close, but everyone knows they have tentacles. Surely they’re hideous!) Go on stealth missions, run alien blockades, and investigate mysterious planets, "aided" by Lloyd, your insufferably obnoxious shipboard computer. Choice of the Star Captain is the hilarious interactive science-fiction novel where your choices determine how the story proceeds. The game is entirely text-based--without graphics or sound effects--but powered by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination. For example, suppose Lloyd has just informed you that your ship will crash land on the jungle moon of Cygnus Delta in 93 seconds. What will you do? A) Call upon your elite piloting skills to escape the moon’s gravity well. B) Invite Lloyd to land the ship himself, if he’s so smart. C) Make the prudent choice, and try landing on the moon’s surface instead of attempting a risky escape. D) Spend the last 93 seconds of your life gleefully smashing Lloyd’s screen with a torque wrench. Humanity needs you, Star Captain! Will you defeat the Blobs and come home as a war hero? Will you uncover the secret that sparked the Blob invasion? Will you serve as ambassador and convince the Blobs to spare the human race? The choice is yours.

  • An unexpected pleasure

    This is a fun romp with a subtle level of divergent humor. It feels like an E.E. Doc Smith adventure, with some Harry Harrelson icing. It is hard to predict just what the result of different choices are, but each leads to a smile or a chuckle.
  • Choiceofgames are great.

    This title was amazing. The plot was interesting, the situations were compelling, and the twists were all interesting to explore. I recommend this highly to anyone who likes text-based adventures. This title is just zany enough, and it doesn't take itself so seriously as some others. Five stars all the way!
  • I love the devs

    Hands down one of the best stories I have ever read/participated in. It was really exciting and really awesome and I loved the ending and just woooow. Well worth the money. If you're like me and you're doubting if it's worth it, it is. Just trust me. It is. Plus theres a bunch of pop culture references, its just great.

    This one didn't really do it for me story-wise. Sci if is my favorite genre of fiction but this story was written pretty amateurishly (is that a word?) and many of the choices I had to make didn't include what I actually wanted to do. Oh well, it's only a couple bucks and it kept me playing to the end, if just to get it finished, so 3 stars anyway.
  • One of the better COGs. Not greatest.

    A little on the easy side and too forgiving. I made it to the end with a high "score". Only 2 times I had to really think "oh s&@t what to do"; you know nervous. If you want a EZ none threatening cog adventure this is it. I still rate it high because I'm a fan the sci-fi subject matter. And I did enjoy my time with it.
  • Great Game!

    I just finished the first play. Great ending and I am excited to find the other ones. It's comedic and adventurous. The plot line is pretty interesting. One of the best ones I've played.
  • Amazing!

    This is defiantly one of the best apps I've ever used. I've just finished my first adventure and I am going to play more ways through the story. I am defiantly going to be playing more choice of apps.
  • One of CoG's Best (possibly even THE best)

    This is probably my favorite CoG game; it's tied with Way Walkers for my favorite IF associated with the label. The narration is consistently funny, and the characters are pretty well-written (though the one who really shines is Lloyd, without whom the game would be much less amusing). It's just a shame that the plot wasn't left open for a sequel...
  • Thoroughly impressed.
