Choice of Robots is, more or less, a detailed CYOA game about robots and things to do with them as written by Kevin Gold, a PhD in computer science. The game is published by Choice of Games, a company specializing in text-based CYOA choice games. As described on their website:

The robots you design will change the world! Will you show them the true meaning of love, or conquer Alaska with your robot army?

Choice of Robots is an epic 300,000-word interactive sci-fi novel by Kevin Gold, 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.

Play out thirty years of your life as a brilliant robot maker, from graduate school near the present day to a future in which your robots have changed everything. Depending on your choices, your robots may be independent or obedient, clumsy or graceful, empathic or cold…and you yourself may live to an old age happily married or alone with only robots to comfort you.

Play as male or female, gay or straight, with nine characters to romance, four alternate climax chapters, and over seventy achievements to unlock.

Choices are presented frequently, and text in between is often short. For this first run I'm tentatively starting out with a base to demonstrate how the game works, then proceeding in short updates of varying length based on what choices need to be made. Pace will be figured out somewhere along the way, and likely sped up on subsequent playthroughs.

To vote on choices I'll be adding polls. Vote for one to (n-1) options. You can vote for 0 or n options too, but you're not accomplishing much if you do. I'll exercise my own judgment in the case of a tie. (By which I mean I'll be appealing to the random number gods about 95% of the time.)

This will not be a comprehensive LP of the game, but we'll see how much we do or don't cover.
