Loved the palace intrigue? The impossible choices? The 110 endings? Here's what to play next.
FMV Interactive Drama · PC, iOS, Android
Same studio (New One Studio), same format, same blend of romance and political intrigue. If you played RtE first, this is the obvious next step.
FMV Interactive Drama · PC, iOS, Android
Also by New One Studio. A shorter, darker story about espionage and identity. Shares the same choice-driven narrative engine as RtE.
FMV Interactive Thriller · PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch
One of the best FMV games ever made. A heist thriller with genuinely branching paths and multiple endings. Shows what the genre can do with tight pacing.
FMV Interactive Sci-Fi · PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch
From the makers of Late Shift. A contained sci-fi thriller with relationship tracking that affects the ending. Similar "your choices matter" DNA.
Interactive Drama · PC, Xbox, Switch
Not FMV, but captures the same multi-generational drama feel. Choices have real weight, and the art style grows on you. One of the best interactive dramas of recent years.
Interactive Horror · PS4, PS5, PC
The gold standard for "every choice might kill someone." Different genre (horror vs. court drama) but the same bone-deep tension about whether your next decision will be your last.
Interactive Narrative · PS4, PS5, PC
If what you loved about RtE was the branching narrative and character relationships, Detroit takes it to the extreme with hundreds of possible paths.
Text Adventure · PC, iOS, Android, Switch
A text-message-based game about a Syrian refugee. Completely different setting, but the same feeling that every word you choose could save or doom someone.
