3.5/5

Teachers and scholars were much more respected a few thousand years ago, mainly because knowledge wasn’t something everyone had easy access to, like today. Hence, even kings and princes had to be resourceful when it came to finding a tutor for their offspring, especially if they were preparing their child to take over their royal duties.

Choice of Alexandria is a text-based role-playing game in which you play the role of a librarian who receives the honor of tutoring the Prince Ptolemy IV. In case you are not familiar with this type of game, the most important aspect you need to know is that your choices truly affect the story. Hence, the plot changes according to the decisions you make, which allows you to replay the game multiple times and experience different events.

The story at hand focuses on the famous library of Alexandria, which was home to an impressive amount of information. Your character has the possibility to save the library from utter destruction and use it to make tremendous technological progress way sooner than we did. On the other hand, you must also remember to teach the young prince what you know and make sure he follows your advice.

The game is about as open as possible when it comes to how the plot evolves, which means that you can choose to focus on a number of things. Whether you try your best to protect the illustrious library from destruction or you forget all about tutoring the prince and put all of your efforts into daring inventions, everything is possible as long as you have the time for multiple playthroughs.

Naturally, there are a few romantic options at your disposal as well, depending on what you desire for your character. You can also meet a few famous characters along the way, such as Euclid or Archimedes, both of whom can help you invent new machinery. On the other hand, you have to imagine all of this by yourself, because the game does not feature any graphics or sound effects.

In the end, Choice of Alexandria is a very malleable role-playing experience with decent replay value, so if you do not mind the lack of graphics and the fact that you have to provide your own soundtrack, the game can easily keep you busy for a few hours.
