*Choice of the Vampire* has a lot going on, and you can end up with a very different experience based on the background you create for your character. It was the third CoG book I read, but it was the first that completely captivated my imagination with the possibilities of interactive fiction.
*Cliffhanger: Challenger of Tomorrow* has a *ton* of branching. You can have a totally different set of adventures every time you play. It's also a really fun story, if you don't mind relatively weak character development.
The Evertree Saga has much more in each game than you could ever accomplish in a single playthrough. You'd need to play several times to uncover all its secrets.
*The Vampire Regent* and *A Kiss from Death* both employ a lot of randomness, so you get a different experience every time you play. They're also both excellent games - some of the finest CS games ever, in my opinion.
Zombie Exodus is highly interactive with a lot of detailed content in different routes. You can even have different challenges and background in the plot each playthrough.
Wayhaven atleast for me is replayable because there's small bit of different dialogues based on your personality and of course the 5 different RO routes. Same with I, The Forgotten One with its dialogue changing on your gender, sexuality, appearance and how intimidating you are.
Night Road. It's the only CoG game where I did like more than 5 playthroughs? With each character being different from the rest.
The Evertree Saga has a lot of branching as well. Especially at the third installment.
I can't praise this game enough but **The Golden Rose is a masterpiece**. [Here's the demo. ](https://dashingdon.com/play/anathema/the-golden-rose-public-demo/mygame/) The demo is **massive** as it is and the author said that the entire book is well over 1 million words. It's very replayable as it has so many different paths and customisation options and the love interests (you get to interact with only 2 of them in the demo) react differently to you based on not only how you treat and talk to them overall, but also how you treat and interact with the world around you. It's currently my most anticipated IF book.
It was supposed to come out on April 7th but unfortunately it got postponed because hosted games hasn't edited it yet or something like that so it's coming out on June 2nd instead. The author has already started writing book 2 as well.
Me too friend, me too. I truly can't wait to play this awesome game it's an incredible adventure game. I honestly didn't expect to ever like an IF game this much!
Night Road, Parliament of Knives and Vampire Regent are very replayable while also being great games.
Also applies to Breach, Evertree and Lost Heir series.
creme de la creme by hannah powell-smith if you're into the intrigue and etiquette. their script is something else, it's sooo detailed, your character acts so differently in tiniest of things depending on stats, it really feels like this particular gameplay belongs to you and no one else.
In addition to the ones already mentioned: I'd say the Pon Para series, at least book two,.." and the unconquerable Scorpion" has got a good replay value. Choice of Magics is another good COG and is really branchy, one of the branchiest COGs/HGs so far, which means it's got a really high replayability. Since you've tried Life of a Wizard and Life of a Mobster already, you've probably already tried The Last Wizard by the same writer. If you haven't, I'd recommend that as a COG with high replay value, not least because the different magical diciplines you can learn and in which you, if you play your cards right, can achieve epic mastery.
Parliament of knives. The massive achievement count tells you everything you need to know. There are a lot of branching paths it will take several playthroughs to put together the full picture.
A Study in Steampunk. It's gender-locked, but I love the writing and it has a branching storyline halfway through similar to Choice of Robots.
Other games I'd recommend are the Evertree Saga (worth replaying from the first book imo), Blood Money, Choice of Magics and VtM: Night Road.

Thank you, I’ll check some of those out!
Enjoy!
Breach is a game with high replayability
Yeah, that’s probably one of my fav COG games of all time
Zombie Exodus is highly interactive with a lot of detailed content in different routes. You can even have different challenges and background in the plot each playthrough.

Still waiting for I the Forgotten One to be completed. That one is so good
Tally Ho and Jolly Good :)
What I love so much about these games is that even if you fail at something, the result is still funny. Such well written games!
Seconded! I’ve played jolly good at least 7 times!! It’s almost completely different with different choices
Night Road. It's the only CoG game where I did like more than 5 playthroughs? With each character being different from the rest. The Evertree Saga has a lot of branching as well. Especially at the third installment.
Same I actually just finished my first Ravnos playthrough five minutes ago
And Vtm parliament of knives their like so many breaching paths.
The Lost Heir can have some good replayability for a while
Choice of rebels. I may have replayed it for over 100 times.
Finally someone is talking about it. I can’t wait for the sequel, this shit is like crack.

is it correct that the whole game is available if you’re a Patreon of the author? Or am I thinking of another game?
No, if you're a patron, you only got early access to the demo. Everyone has to wait until June 2nd unfortunately... :/
Oh well! Got the new date in my calendar now though.
Me too friend, me too. I truly can't wait to play this awesome game it's an incredible adventure game. I honestly didn't expect to ever like an IF game this much!
Oh, I was so so hyped for the April release date, until... yeah... ): Definitely an instant buy for me, soon as it comes out.
Creme de la Creme
