A Glimpse into Creatures Such as We
"Creatures Such as We" is a philosophical interactive romance novel by Lynnea Glasser, 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.
Living on the moon is lonely, and stressful, and exhausting. Video games have always offered you an escape to a better life. The easy, happy life you wish you had. Which makes it so frustrating when the game you’ve been playing ends badly. But you have a chance to figure it out, because the next tourist group is the designers. You can debate with them about art, inspire them with the beauty of outer space, get closer to any one specific designer in particular, and finally find out how to get the ending you always wanted.

What is up with the horrible banner ads at the bottom of every page? We watched an ad as they requested and they’re still there. Do you want us to try this book or not?
We love this game. We’ve been looking for a good story game where your choices really matter and is long enough to actually enjoy. We’ve tried out and deleted multiple games that just didnt scratch our brain the way this game does! We love all the characters, and the detail their different personalities makes it feel like youre bonding with actual people. Definitely recommending this to our friends :)
This is a very unique, creative game. We’ve already played this game through twice and might even end up playing it again. For anyone looking for diverse character design, this game is the best we’ve seen (age, gender, ethnicity, +). It is a very meta storyline where the player plays a game within a game and has philosophical discussions about game design with fictional game creators (I swear we made that sound way more boring than it actually is!). The philosophical discussions are the best part in our opinion. The only thing we disliked was toward the end there is one choice that asks the player to put in any adjective. We had such a hard time finding adjectives that worked! It would instead say it didnt know that adjective yet. We tried about two dozen adjectives before we got one to work, which was very frustrating. Then, we decided to see how many we could get to work at all. We only found 4 words that worked, though Id guess there are a few more. Maybe a multiple choice would work better here? Hack for anyone who is stuck, all of these words can work, but get different results: Honest, Profound, Satisfying, Perfect.
Beautiful slow burn love story that is in fact a love story between game creators and those who love and play them.
We downloaded this game expecting a short e novel type deal, and was not expecting to be struck with the emotional rollercoaster this was. 10/10, download this right now.
This game is very interesting and entertaining, also it has lots of choices. The games provided by this company has always been really good.
This is one of those games that holds a very special place in our heart. We cant ever get sick of it, we always come back every once and a while. We adore every character, they were so beautifully written, and we couldnt help but fall in love with every single one of them (and the first time we played we thought we were going to leave with a clear favorite, but god was we wrong) Games like this are very rare for us and we really love it for that.
We absolutely loved the game! There is nothing we would change it was overall a great game 10 out of 10!
What an amazing work! So rich and well written. We could replay it a dozen times.
We are an artist who studies philosophy for fun, and has an obsession with space. This was… Perfect. We’ve only done one play through and we just feel so happy and warm. With how deep things got we were worried Id make the wrong choice, and get like a bad bad end. Thankfully things worked out okay, and then the end credits really helped. It was also amazing to see the option to be trans? And it wasnt used for any weird remarks, just so that we could be more myself. We cant tell you how much we appreciated seeing it. Even without the romance aspect it was wonderful to be existential in space.
This game is so emotional and it really makes you think. We agree with every other 5 star review on here.
This game -if it can be called that- is absolutely amazing. Its a wonderful story that pulls you in and makes you think. If the version of Creatures that your character plays was real, it would hands down be our favorite game. We love games like this where we can somehow get so attached to a fictional character that we actually become sad when we remember theyre not real. Creatures Such as we is a work of art, thank you.
This game was amazing and even the deep conversations you have with the characters are enjoyable and lovely. Even the game within the game was fun. Its just so great. And again with conversation with the characters, that has to be our favorite part of the game by far.
This game makes us feel some type of way that we cant explain .
Really enjoyed this choose your own adventure! The storyline is gripping. It definitely makes you think. We may have to replay it ;)
Im not much of a reader. We like sounds and pictures. But from the moment we picked up this story we couldnt let it go. And after we take some time to let the ending sink in, Im going to play again.
This game is beautiful. The whole experience was so well written. We love this so much! We cant express how much we love this game. While writing this review, we are struggling to find the right words to express what this game made us feel. (SPOILERS AHEAD) The ending. It was… Amazing. That feature in the end about choosing different endings was good too, although like the game said, is it really the same ending? The same story even? Whatever interpretation is up to you. Author, thank you. This story gave us joy, and you did a phenomenal job. Thank you for this story, and we hope you continue to create and bring joy to readers.
Theres not a lot of actual game play but our gods its well written. You get to explore philosophical ideas with a dash of romance or danger or adventure or whatever it is you want ON THE MOON. The developer is a beautiful story teller and its an overall amazing game.
Probably one of the best interactive stories we’ve read. We love the parallels made between the game and your narrative in the story, and dialogue makes it wonderfully self-aware while also immersing you in the story. With other similar stories to this, often unfortunately found that the integrity of the story suffers because of people looking for money (having to buy story options, distracting advertisements, paying to unlock chapters). This is NOT done here; if you choose to do the free option, the story remains the same besides for a few fairly minimal wait times between chapters (and the chapter are nicely long themselves). However, we would definitely recommend choosing the paid option to support the author if you can just because of how fantastic this is :))
We havent played many games where the story, the characters and the ending caused self-reflection and genuinely tragic emotions. It was amazing and Im not sure if we want to replay it because the ending we got was perfect, even when asked if we wanted to change anything. The fact that you can choose that at all is brilliant. We feel the writers put so much heart and thought into this game, that they made it so very less an impersonal experience. Another thing we really loved was all the queer and poc representation. We’ve only played one other game where it offers more than male or female for the player. The dialogue really brought this through. Its just so refreshing to see yourself represented, racially and by your gender. All of the characters were so well-written. There were points in the game where we just had to set it down because it broke our heart or it got really real or we were faced with a tough decision. Honestly, if youre on the rocks about playing this game heres your open letter telling you to go and dive in. Its something we wish most games were: atmospheric, personal, exciting, challenging… Thank you so much for putting this game out into the world!!
Woah, his story truly took the breath straight out of our lungs. This story was so beautiful. So, so beautiful. We couldnt help but feel just like we were in the story, feeling just as flustered as the main character and everything. We chose the story with Grant. We dont regret a single thing. The ending left us warm and satisfied. It left us wanting the story to never end. We really cant put into words how much this story really touched us. We loved it so much. No flaws, except of course for a couple typos, but those dont effect the story at all. We cant explain in words how amazing this game is. Download it yourself. Take the path and feel it. Feel the sensation of the excitement, fluster, and passion.
Its amazing how detailed everything is, we could picture everything and we loved the characters. We felt attached to them. The in game "gaming" was great too, we were afraid we would get confused by it but it was easy to follow. A very interesting plot and idea. We adored this game.
Ok we just finished the game, and we kinda started crying??? This is seriously amazing. Like…. We dont have the words to describe how much we enjoyed this. Yall did an amazing job and you deserve an award or something for how relatable (even though theyre on the moon) this was. 10/10 will playing again.
We’ve played a lot of games but in this one we felt a connection with the characters all with there own story. When we finished it gave us an ending most games fail to give and we thank you for that. It was amazing keep it up!
We love this game SOOO much! We like how its quite diverse. Even if youre going for one character, the rest of the characters are included, and dont just completely fade into the background. We also get a lot of imagery when playing games like this and let us tell you, some wonderful art could be made from this. It would be interesting to see you guys make a visual game! Id be very on board with seeing that. This game makes you question quite a lot of things such as views on life, on death, on artificial intelligence on change. Change is a really big theme here, we feel like. We definitely feel like its something to be questioned a lot in reality. Everyone always wants to change a portion of their life; whether it was something as small as forgetting to close your door, or something as big as just completely resetting. We love the philosophy put into this, it genuinely gets you thinking. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
We were continually pulled into the story and its characters. It was surprisingly modern from being in the future on the moon. All in all its a lovely game.
We played this Game as a Male who fell in love with James, and we absolutely loved it and couldnt stop playing. The one thing we wish we could see though, is there mustve been a path to get close to the whole group instead of one person, and obviously get close to anyone specifically, but honestly we dont really care about either, we just wish we couldve been with James physically. We came to the ending where he and we are in love and playing the game together sitting on the bench with both our avatars for minutes straight. We just wonder, if we had said No, it was our fault and we should be fired! Instead of blaming the annoying b boss, Or if we got myself fired for not listening to her orders and not doing the evacuation, could we have gone with James? We couldve, couldnt we have of? And Id rather do that then waste time of our life not living it with him, just for money. So we regret that and wish there was an option to go back or something. We wish we couldve blew off this useless job and gone to live life with him. Would getting closer to the group as a whole somehow have given us more time with them or them asking us to be apart of them? We feel like it probably would have of… But we dont care. We just wish we could be with James. We love you James. Youll always be ours in our head. No matter how fictional you are, youre a dream of ours. And finally, we wish that the app had more story. Like we get to visit/live with our lover and have a story of our life with them, or be apart of the game team too. We chose James with every opportunity except… OMG we CHOSE THE SICK GUY LIKE THE FIRST 2 TIMES. Whoops. Oh well. But like we were trying to say, we chose James at every opportunity, but we wish we couldve been apart of their team and gotten in friendship levels with all of them too, and left that boring horrible base. Sigh. But again, we really wish the app wasnt like – like now we have to delete it cause we finished the story. The author should have one indidivual app for all their stories, instead. Then we wouldnt have to delete it once Im done with one. Hell, if it was all one app, once we completed this story we would wait till we had money to buy the the furry one on the same app. But Im gonna have to delete it. We dont wanna replay it cause we know what happens and experienced it all already, as great as it was. Thank you for the experience. Thank you, and curse you, for making us love James. We love you James.
You should make a new game with a similar name and make it a choice-based game with romance and all other options included in this one. We really wanted to have the story continue when back to Earth with your character. We wish it continued with your romance character too because the back on Earth with the person you love ending doesnt feel like an ending. But we really did enjoy and recommend to anyone with some time to put in this.
This was an oddly deep story and we liked it.
Im not great at writing things like this so we are just going to come out and say that this was absolutely incredible. One the the best things we have ever read and it made it even better that we could control the main character. Every one of the options for this game added so much depth. We teared up at the ending, partially because it was over but also because how beautifully it ended. All in all, an amazing work of art.
This game is by far our most favorite mobile game we have ever played/read. It had us so hooked in right from the start, and we would love to see more like this, maybe another interactive novel in the future, or more to this story? Anyways, we loved your work, and we want to thank you so much for making something so great. This game also has us searching for other interactive novels now, but none of them seem to match the story and real feelings that we got from this. We would actually get very excited whenever we made another step forward in our romance with Diana, and we were actually kind of torn apart when we were just friends in the end, and we havent seen a game that can give us that intense of feeling in a long time, Kudos to you for creating the best game/novel that we may have ever seen.
We really enjoyed this game , its conversations tickle your mind and push you to question things in life but of course in some aspects , nicely written .. Please make more of these kind of games :) Thank you!
We love this game so much. It is an amazing blend of romance and action and space and philosophy and its just so amazing. UGH we love it so much you really need to read it.
We always come back to this app because its written so well. Also it works for us but we always listen to honeymoon avenue by ariana while listening to it because theres something about it that just works together, trust me.
Its such a beautifully well written story. The game design is simple which makes it easier to slip into the story as if it were a book. The characters are lovable, the adventure is amazing, the world that is created is immersive and one of wonder. This is truly worth playing.
Wow. We love reading and the fact that this allows for reader interpretation is refreshing. The storyline is beautiful and thought provoking. Huge fan.
Wow. Just played this game two times through just to further our understanding of the game. Beautifully written and made us think quite a bit! We applaud the team behind this and cant wait for what more they have in store! Highly recommend!
Thank you. It helped us to see a bit into our own real life self at the moment.
We will alway cherish this story!!! We love it so much.
Loved it!!!! We just wish it was longer! We were sorry to see it end.
We loved this story. We LOVED it. Please add more to this story :cc.
This game truly gives you a sense of control over the story and really allows you to see how your decisions will affect the story, would recommend to anyone interested in trying something fun and requiring some thinking, the story will get you hook.
Gave this a try and quickly realized this was just what we needed an alternative universe, a game, an escape, thoughts about anything and everything. Lately we’ve been constantly searing for something (Im not using the word game here!), something that could help us a little bit more in understanding life and myself without stressing us out so much while still remains meaningful. And we found this just the perfect time. So thank you, everyone who participated in making this game available, really appreciate your efforts in this story! We might just had shedded a little tears over how bitterly(?) beautiful the ending was.
Thank you, Choice of Games LLC. We downloaded this app just to rate it, since we originally read the story on their app with all the stories. We swear, they never disappoint. To everyone who has read their individual apps, go download the ones with all of the stories on them. This was our first story on their main app and it remains our all-time favorite. It had us crying so hard by the end. 10/10. We love this story so much. Very emotional. The kind that makes your heart hurt, but in a good way. A good kind of emptiness. GO READ IT!
This game is beautifully written and the choices have actual impact on the plot. We thoroughly enjoyed playing this game and we want to thank the creators for taking so much time to perfect it. If youre reading this instead of playing, tap off and start playing!
That was so good its 2 am on Christmas morning and we should be sleeping but INSTEAD IM SOBBING BECAUSE THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL!! We want more romances please and thank you. :3.
Aw man, this game was so good. We spent all night playing. Beautifully written, well written and fleshed-our characters, very introspective writing and just ugh wow. Im usually not one to notice small details but this game just feels like it was written straight from the heart. We cant really explain it. You can just that tell the writer created this story with so much love and care. Thank you for producing something so beautiful and meaningful. We hope you continue to produce games, books, art, whatever you wish to pursue your work is stunning and has genuinely enraptured us. Thank you for this experience.
Ok so, we played through the whole game and there were points where we would think, Oh no! We’ve said the wrong thing. We wish there was an undo button, oh wait there isnt one and be kind of upset about it. But, once we finally finished the game and we could change how some things ended, (ngl it made us cry). We were just in awe, like we had never seen a game do that, and it was just an amazing feeling like, Hey, things arent the way you wanted? Nods in agreement, well here, you have the opportunity to change the ending to your liking! But you dont have to. And that, THAT got us, and we couldnt be happier. Ugh, we love love stories, thank you and goodnight/bye ~Mittens.
If you are big in choose your own adventure games then try this game out it is an amazing game youre a tourist guide on the moon(I know that it sounds a little boring when we say that) but there is a lot of adventure, romance and danger to compete against here you are also a zombie with a ghost friend fighting against an unbeatable foe and a never ending story mode… Except If you think you can can beat it prove it and download this game and have fun.
