So I'm back with another CYOA (choose your own adventure). This time it's about pills. Not red or blue pills, but special either way.
It's simple: you get to choose either 2 pills or just 1 pill. If you choose just 1 pill you also get the bonus effect.
Xanax
take the game pill
make your own video game
add whatever item you could possibly conceive of to it
get it irl
guys i broke the game pill
Take the skill mastery pill AND the game pill. (I'm bad at computer stuff like that)
The easiest way to cheat is to develop a Twine VN where a pill has all of these abilities and use the game pill to bring that super pill into real life.
Even without that, the game pill is super OP since you can bring a game object once every 7 weeks. Just going off of games I've played before.
You can instantly restore your health through consumables.
You can be underwater without drowning.
You can teleport other people and teleport yourself.
You can charm people.
You can enslave animals using spherical orbs.
You can massively boost your attributes by eating food.
You can use telekinesis.
You can become invisible.
You can instantly put people to sleep or wake them up.
You can see perfectly at night.
You can change your body to match the gender you want.
You can resurrect people from the dead.
You can be resurrected from the dead with your health completely restored.
You can stop time.
You can fly and shoot fireballs.
You can touch fire or lava without being hurt.
You can carry around a near infinite number of items with you.
You can open every locked door.
The pills were poorly thought out lol
I didnt make this but I agree that most CYOA stuff usually has poor internal balance.
they control for the opness with that 'handheld' qualification, many game abilities/mechanics are not bound up into single game objects as such.
but maybe the right game might have a necklace that does some or many of the things your talking abt, idk im not a gamer encyclopedia
Creature Pill
This is furry bait
Creature Pill. I'd shapeshift into a cat to get headpats and hugs, because it's the only way I could.
Wilds Pill so dogs and/or other animals don't kill me when I'm a cat.
Was thinking raven and wilds for the reason and then get someone to start a pagan cult to worship me in the woods.
You have no idea how absurdly overpowered the gamer pill is.
There's a fucking Death Note videogame for crying out loud, not even touching on all the other wild shit out there. Like not even touching on Armoredthirteen's comment below GameDeving your way to godhood, there's just way too much game IP out there that does pretty much exactly that.
creature pill comes in a close second with it's bonus completely due to the fact you get to bioengineer possibly the perfect organism or bioengineer an organism that can take traits from other existing organisms by consuming them. In otherwords, Tyranids but earthbound.
If we exclude the broken pills and look at whats left, I think I'd choose the focus pill with its bonus to become the perfect communist revolutionary and spend the rest of my life calling everyone else liberals for I have become the one true communist! Also just having an easier time learning new stuff and having a better memory is just nice in general, hopefully it also counters any kind of neurodegenerative diseases because those really fucking suck.
I'll take the Gamepill and then create a cheapo asset flip game where i have a pill that will give me any power i want and take that out of that game.
Spy and rift pill, so I can detect someone walking behind me and instant transition right behind them instead. It would also keep me safe.
Focus and Nocturnal pills.
Fellow student, I see
Sharing this stuff is how the 3 letter agencies conduct psychological profiles of people in order to keep better tabs on them. I assume. My spy pill hasn't arrived yet.
Mimic pill, then use it for nothing but making badger noises.
I add them all to a game and then use the game pill to wish for more wishes
Focus + Mimic
I like the idea of being a turbo smarty pants who knows all of the things but I can't think of one skill I really want to master right now, unless that skill is changing my voice to extreme ends at will with the Mimic Pill. I feel like that combo could pull off some real heist movie shit
Game pill for the Portal gun, and Jumper pill so I don't go splat after I mis-jump.
Focus
Just focus. I can’t concentrate or focus to save my fucking life.
I appreciate that somebody else is cyoa-pilled.
I pick the Wilds Pill and the Mimic Pill.
I'll live alone away from society and do voice work occasionally.
Xanax, you never said it had to be one of the pills pictured.
You nerds are gonna be doing shit I'm gonna be snoozing and listening to Elliot Smith.
Game pill and wilds pill. I will summon Harry's impeccable wardrobe one item at a time, and live as real life Hobocop.
I feel like game pill is the strongest because you can just make your own game
Toss up between Wilds and Spy
We can be Wild Buddies. Create a Woodland Commune of Humans and Animals. (Name can be workshopped).
This is so GOOD. I love it.
Have you posted it on r/makeyourchoice? That's a subreddit for cyoas like this.
Oh man, I'm so torn. I kinda wanna take Wilds and just fucking live out there away from all human bs. Yeah, fuck it. I'm not optimizing anything - Imma go live out in the woods and chill with Grizzlies.
You should think of adding a drawback section, btw. (no, I'm not just saying this because I will gladly give up speech, limbs, dreams, and everything else to pick up another pill). Maybe an "on theme" one can be an "drawback pill" section where, for eg, taking the "anti-jumper pill" makes you extra-prone to fall damage. Or just super-weak and easy to bruise.
Again, great job.
OH. Im sorry. This is not made by me, didnt think people would think that. In fact I got it from r/makeyourchoice. I have thought about making my own cyoa but im lacking in any pc/artistry skills.
Ah gotcha. Your post made me think you made it. No worries lol.
Mimic + Wilds
i'll become a disney princess so help me god 
i'm sure you could make a shittonne of money by making and selling portal guns, or using something else to make a fortune or become a supervillian... but god could you imagine actually getting the right amount of sleep 
EDIT: oooh actually i'm doing a disco elysium cosplay this summer and summoning kim's jacket out of thin air would save me a lot of time in front of the sewing machine...
Ez nocturnal pill, I already don't sleep super often . Id kill for a permanent insomnia cure
Same here. As a cherry on top the extra 8+ hours a night would also probably triple my free time.
You essentially live an extra 1/3rd of your life. Best pill on here by far. Love that I still have the ability to sleep because I love naps
Game pill is pretty cracked tho actually
Focus pill + bonus of bass playing.
Wilds Pill 100%!!! I love animals and I long to be able to pet the bobcat/deer/eagles/froggies/fishies/foxes/stray cat nearby 
I also love looking around and trying to identify all the species of animals and plants and fungus etc.
Game pill only and then I would pull out the potion of gender swapping from Fable III and once a week, after I use the first dose on myself, I would open a gender clinic that takes one client at a time per week.
It will be slow be we gonna make it Fam.
Focus pill probably the worst, but id pick it anyways to give myself more free time. Secondary rift or jumper, probably rift to get around
All of them to see what happens
Game pill, pull a wand of wishing out of any old roguelike.
Focus all the way. I got ADHD and a lot of hobbies, including music.
Creature pill
8 hours for rest, 8 hours for work, and 8 hours for being a cat (
)
Excluding the insanely OP gamer pill:
Either nocturnal pill: Not needing to sleep is pretty insane.
Or Rift + Spy pill, if I know when I'm being watched then I can ensure my teleport power stays secret, and I could be the ultimate bank heister.
Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
No anti-nautilism posts. See: Eco-fascism Primer
Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
