About this game

Choice of Life: Samosbor — a visual novel where every decision changes your fate.

A new text RPG from the legendary Choice of Life series takes you into the universe of Samosbor — a dark world inspired by an alternative USSR. This visual novel combines branching storytelling with life simulator elements inside a closed technocratic society.

You were born in the Giga Khrushchevka — a massive endless concrete complex made of connected residential cells, factories, and research institutes. There are no windows here. Only concrete walls, strict regulations, and a hermetic door that must be sealed when the siren sounds. It protects you from Samosbor — a destructive phenomenon that wipes out everything beyond the block.
But can you survive in this text RPG?
Will you rise through the ranks as a liquidator, scientist, party official — or become a follower of a new faith?

This visual novel lets you shape your own path inside a rigid system where every action has consequences.
The choice, as always, is yours.

Game Features:

✍️ Branching Story
This visual novel offers multiple story paths and alternative endings. Your decisions directly impact events, relationships, and survival. Every playthrough feels different.

🔥 Life Simulator Elements
Career, service, ideology, reputation, neighbors, and survival during Samosbor — all of this forms a deep life simulator experience inside the Giga Khrushchevka. Your status and future depend on the choices you make.

🆘 The World of Giga Khrushchevka
Sirens. Block isolation. Inspections. Rumors about secret objects. Strange phenomena behind sealed doors.
This text RPG builds tension through atmosphere and meaningful consequences.

🎮 Immersive Presentation
Atmospheric 2D illustrations enhance the experience. The text RPG format focuses on decisions and narrative depth while maintaining the signature Choice of Life style.

A visual novel about survival and control.
Will you obey the system or try to change it from within? Will you protect yourself — or risk everything to uncover the truth? This text RPG does not offer safe options. Every decision shapes your story. Choice of Life: Samosbor is a visual novel, a text RPG, and a life simulator combined into one dark narrative experience.

Will you survive the next Samosbor?
Survive in an alternative USSR. A dark visual novel where every choice matters.

I dont leave reviews often if not at all so when I leave a review the game is either horrible or great. And this game falls in the great category, this is one of the few games that I can play and actually enjoy. It has many options to choose from so you dont stick on the same path every single time. I highly recommend to try this game because it's really enjoyable, keep up the great work love the game.

The game itself is great and I enjoyed it, but an ad banner that is constantly covers 1/6 of the screen is outrageous. And you can't play the game without connection for no reason it seems (except of course, to show you ads), so it makes the experience considerably worse. I would rather watch an unskippable two minutes ad when starting the game instead of what the game currently has. The art, music and story is great though.
