Background Information:

This story is lightly based on and inspired by “Lustiges Taschenbuch #333” (January 4th, 2005). That book has been resting on my shelf ever since its release, and I was always amazed by its own choose-your-own-adventure story, so I wanted to try my luck at one myself.

Because planning and writing stories like this one take a huge amount of time, I chose to keep it fairly simple for now. True CYOA stories have multiple paths, sometimes even multiple alternate endings, and every choice will have serious consequences for you as a player. Most importantly though, they have around 400, not 40 chapters. I could’ve written something with more than one end, but the work for that would’ve been extreme. This project here already took me one and a half weeks of daily work.

This was more of a test for myself anyway, as well as to see how people generally like these stories. If the feedback is positive, I might consider writing more of these in the future!

Walkthrough:

1 – 2 – 3 – 23 – 31 – 9 – 33 – 21 – 8 – 26 – 37 – 13 – 27 – 38 – 4 – 11 – 34 – 17 – 40 – 39

In the most ideal situation you should have 20 chapters marked as read (summing up to only about 9,300 words). How far off are you? Comment!
