Simple Gameplay Features
To see more of these features, click here.
 * The majority of playable characters' ages range from their late teens to their early thirties.
 * There is at least one premium choice per chapter, although the most common rate is 2. Each scene ranges from 7 to 50 diamonds.
 * Once a premium choice is bought, it will be free any subsequent time you replay the chapter.
 * Colored choices are important.
 * Completing a chapter for the first time will earn the player two diamonds and possibly a third via watching an ad.
 * Books can be restarted at any time by clicking on the "restart arrow" once on the book's cover.
 * After completing a chapter, it can be immediately replayed for one key, returning you to the beginning of the chapter. There is no other way to replay an earlier chapter short of resetting the book to the beginning.
 * Occasionally, some series will give the player the ability to play different characters, introducing differing point of views to a book.
 * Occasionally, the choices proposed to you will be based on previous scenes, actions and conversations you had.
 * Some choices have a timer. This timer is typically about ten seconds, but can be faster or shorter.

Trivia

 * Many series have spanned for a total of three books to create trilogies, examples including The Crown & The Flame, and Rules of Engagement (not including Newlyweds). Newer series that concluded with a third book include Endless Summer. Some series do actually span for more than three books, including The Freshman, and Rules of Engagement (including Newlyweds).
 * Despite the above fact, some series do not receive trilogies, and instead are confined to two books, #LoveHacks being the best example of this, and most recently the Perfect Match series. However, there are some stories that are contained within a single book, such as The Haunting of Braidwood Manor, Home for the Holidays, Veil of Secrets, A Courtesan of Rome and The Heist: Monaco. Most Wanted isn't listed as it is set to have a sequel but is on an indefinite hiatus, as is Hero.
 * Some books allow the player to make their character either male or female. The first instance of this was Endless Summer, Book 1. During the process of creating one's character, the game suggests gender neutral names such as Jordan, Alex and Taylor.
 * The game is noted for its frequent inclusion of LGBT+ characters. Currently, of the 397 total characters seen throughout the game so far, 73 characters are members of the LGBT+ community. With some games letting your character be male or female, some are unconfirmed. The first character to be revealed as gay was Zack. The first character revealed to be lesbian was Kaitlyn. The first character revealed to be bisexual depends on player choices, and can range from Your Character in The Freshman series, to Kenna Rys. The first character currently revealed as transgender was Andy and Cameron as the first non-binary character. The first asexual/aromantic character is Zeph.
 * Pixelberry maintains Choices at a PG-14 rating. The words "b*tch and *b**tard are the worst insults that are stated throughout the series, but in recent times, more explicit language has been used throughout chapters. The first use of strong language occurred in Book 2, Chapter 9 of The Royal Romance.
 * The chapter titles of several books follow specific themes such as "The Sophomore" books naming their titles after popular songs, the "#LoveHacks" series mimicking typical "Buzzfeed" clickbait article titles and the "Endless Summer" series naming their titles after specific quotes in the chapters.
 * The idea that all of Choices' series take place in one common universe is strengthened many times in the series through locations / characters appearing in different series than their own, as well as confirmed family bonds between characters of different series and eras. Such as Kaitlyn appearing in "The Haunting of Braidwood Manor".
 * The genre titles have been updated to Choose Romance, Choose Mystery, Choose Reality, Choose Fantasy and Choose Horror.
 * As of April 9, 2018, Books are now updated 3 days a week; Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
 * Prior to this back in June 2017, was when the Choices App first began updating more than once a week by updating bi-weekly, on Wednesdays and Fridays.
 * Partnering with Nexon will hope to add new ways for players to earn diamonds and add new genres to Choices.
 * In Pixelberry's "What's Next" blog, a statement that several genres such as "Sci-Fi", "Fantasy", "Historical Fiction" and "Horror" and many other genres will be expanded in the future was issued.
 * On February 1, 2018 Pixelberry shared the playlists of the It Lives team that inspires the writing and characters of It Lives in the Woods in Spotify.
 * Link to the Spotify playlist is found in the Reference section.
 * On February 16, 2018 Pixelberry shared the Endless Summer themed playlists in Spotify.
 * Due to backlash received by a large part of the fandom, on March 25, 2018 it was revealed that if one is to play Red Carpet Diaries now, PB has changed the altercation between Your Character and Victoria. She no longer pulls your hair. Thus the situations is no longer seen as physical.
 * Book 1 was added in the title in Veil of Secrets, confirming to be a Book series instead of a standalone. It was later removed from the title when the book was launched in June 1, 2018.
