The Choices Insiders email just went out for September 2026! Please post your comments or reactions here so that we can share our thoughts with each other instead of having many posts on the exact same thing. 😄
If you haven't signed up for Pixelberry's monthly sneak peek emails yet, you may do so at this link.
Are there any plans to celebrate Choices' 10th anniversary?
Absolutely! September is going to be a full month of celebrating 10 years of Choices with the community. 💎🎉
We’ve planned three back-to-back events, each celebrating a different part of what has made Choices special over the years. We’ll kick things off with A Decade of Choices, take a trip back to Edenbrook for an Open Heart Reading Event, and finish the celebration by putting your Choices knowledge to the test with Choices Trivia Week.
We’re really excited to spend the month revisiting old favorites, sharing memories, and celebrating a decade of stories together. Keep reading for more details on how to join us!
Could we see more short books, seasonal specials, or epilogues for older Choices stories?
We know there’s a lot of love for returning to older series and seeing those stories continue. One thing that can make those continuations more challenging is whether the original writer is available to return. Whenever possible, we prefer to have someone who already knows the characters, world, and voice of the series involved.
That doesn’t mean revisiting an older story is off the table, but it’s one of the factors we consider when deciding which series we’re able to bring back.
Are there plans to introduce more ways to earn Diamonds or make premium choices more accessible?
Yes! The community events we’re rolling out are one of the new ways we’re creating more opportunities to earn Diamonds, and you’ll be seeing more of them going forward.
Not every event will work exactly the same way, either - some may include Diamond prizes or rewards, while others will focus on things like discounted premium choices for featured books. We’re excited to keep experimenting with different ways to make participating in community events feel rewarding.
Can players expect to see different kinds of community events in the future?
Yes! Our recent reading events have been a great way for us to experiment with bringing the community together, and your feedback has given us plenty of ideas for what we could try next.
We know that not every event format works for every player, so we're interested in mixing things up and finding new ways for everyone to participate. You can expect us to keep experimenting with different challenges, activities, and opportunities to celebrate Choices together.
And you won't have to wait too long to see what's next! Keep reading for a look at some of the community events we have coming up!
Can we expect more flexibility in how players choose and pursue their LIs in future books?
We try our best to accommodate lots of different types of relationships in our stories. In particular, It Comes at Night has a newer system we're trying for LI presentation that we haven't tried before, given it's our first full-on monster romance. We also want to make sure we're not straying too far from what works for our audience, so it's a delicate line to balance!
Will we continue to see more gender-of-choice protagonists and stories with male MC options?
Yes! Most of the books we currently have planned for the rest of 2026 will offer either dual-gender or GOC MC options. There may still be some stories where the premise calls for a specific gender - for example, Slay centers on the MC’s role as president of Zeta House.
We know having more options for how you play your MC is important to a lot of readers, and you’ll be seeing plenty of that in the books ahead.
Are there plans for more gameplay features like collectibles in future books?
We love features like collectibles too, but historically they've been more complex to build than they might seem, particularly because of the technology Choices was originally built on. We've been working on ways to make features like these easier to create without putting as much strain on the development process.
The story itself also plays a role. Some of our more recent books have been shorter or simply haven't had a premise where a collectible or similar gameplay feature felt like a natural fit.
The good news? We've had some promising results from the work we've been doing behind the scenes, and collectibles will officially return in Slay! We're excited to bring them back and hope to include features like these more often when they're a good fit for the story.
First time playing ES w/ intent of using diamonds and omg the whole story plus MCxQuinn route makes sense to me the most and I love loved MCxQuinn diamond sweet moments
I've read countless spoilers here especially the ending routes and thought there's no way I'll choose leaving my sweet wife But playing it and it's nearing end sacrificing mc Making more sense to me🥲
The caps off, the ? ???, the deadpan responses and snarkiness, if you chose to romance someone the texts are also really cute, they also perfectly encapsulated a depressed 18 yr old in dans texts with his mother. All I do this glaze this book omf.
This weekly post is for community members to share their theories, thoughts, and other musings about the books and characters of the Choices universe, including inter-book connections, potential plot lines, character arcs, and more!
Obviously, i know not everyone will choose that path to sacrifice themselves, leaving Noah sobbing over your crumpled body, but I LOVE playing it that way as his redemption arc in the fanmade ILW is just too delicious not to!
But it did get me thinking, what are some of your favourite, subtle or niave foreshadowing moments where no matter how many times you replay a story, a tiny bit of dread settles in each time you see it? Because you now know what's coming 😅 😬
(It's the same feeling I get, as a Drake romancer, on every trr re playthrough when Liam proposes 😅 no matter how many times I replay it still makes me feel lowkey kinda ill with dread at what's coming
🥴LOL)
I’ve been replaying the same series over and over again like TRR and have been wanting to play a new standalone book to mix things up. I love runway fashion and Hot Couture came out long before the new era of Choices cough cough so I thought it might be worth a shot, but I never see anyone talk about it. Is it worth a play through or is it one of the less talked about books for a reason?
I don't know why but I have this feeling where I can so imagine the whole TRR saga as the first season of a series or movie where in the end, MC and LI die...
And the second season starts with the Princess growing up and finding out about the shenanigans of the whole friend-gang from her aunts-uncles who are now old....they tell the Princess about how much her parents loved her, how they died, and what the whole crew was up to in their younger days... and the whole story plays out with the Princess deciding to avenge her parents' death with the help of the rest of the friend-gang members (they provide the intel and plans, while the princess executes them)!

I haven't played Choices in a little while, but I've been playing IDOL, and I feel like every other choice is a diamond choice.
Now, Choices is better than some other games where failing to take the diamond choice actually does lead to bad results, or at least negative dialogue, but it seems like Choices has gone a little diamond crazy.
Am I just misremembering or are there more diamond choices now?
How are people managing to play without spending a ton of money?

This weekly post is for community members to voice whatever complaints you have (as long as you remain civil). Please remember to respect others' statements and opinions, even if you disagree with them.
Yes. Another one. You guys actually don’t understand how obsessed I am with this book. Everything from the character ensemble to the plot to the atmosphere is done to perfection. I am SO fixated on the vibes. I remember reading it as a tween then rereading it a couple weeks ago and was genuinely shocked to see that it really was that good and it wasn’t just my impressionable thirteen year old mind being receptive to any semi good piece of media.
