** ''Literature/TheKeepOfTheLichLord'', whose style became the basis for ''Literature/TheFabledLand'' series

* WebOriginal/{{Jumpchain}} is a Choose Your Own Adventure-inspired journey through the multiverse

** WebOriginal/Jumpchain is a CYOA-like “game” created by a person named Quicksilver.

* WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob's 500th episode was a review done in this style centered around the filmography of Creator/SteveGuttenberg.

** The 2005 Halloween cartoon is the interactive animation [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/ween05.html Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]. It actually features a bit of bait-and-switch, presenting the viewer with one adventure in the intro (helping Homestar find his costume and escape a haunted mansion) and then giving them another (helping Homestar find ingredients for Marzipan's Halloween potion... ''after'' he had doodled all over her recipe).

* ''Literature/TheFabledLands'' are a fantasy series of gamebooks written by Dave Morris and Jamie Thomson that have recently been republished in 2010. During its initial release in the 90s, only the first six were ever released. In addition, only the first two were ever published in the USA, under the name ''Quest''. Despite all this, they are amazingly fun to play, mainly because of their open-ended style (That is, they're a WideOpenSandbox series of books, each book covering part of the game world's map). While most other gamebooks had a definite objective, the Fabled Lands books just plonked you down in a random place and said, "have fun whatever you do." Other cool features were six unique character classes, the ability to buy ships and houses, and a huge number of quests you can do whenever you want, or not at all.

* The 3rd ''[[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Ren & Stimpy]]'' comic book special, ''Masters of Time and Space'', is a comic book version of this. Notable for its time travel plot, which makes some of the storylines several pages longer than the comic itself. Also notable for having two endings that couldn't be accessed at all unless you skip to them.

** [[index]]''Literature/MetroidZebesShinnyuuShirei'', based on ''VideoGame/{{Metroid|1}}''.

** ''[[VideoGame/Metroid1 Metroid]]: Zebes Invasion Order''.

* ''My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Literature/MakeYourOwnMagicTheStarswirlDoOver'' is set in the ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls Equestria Girls]]'' universe. The girls go to a music festival, but Sunset Shimmer finds herself in a GroundhogDayLoop, so she and the reader must make the right choices to break it.

The girls go to a music festival, but Sunset Shimmer finds herself in a GroundhogDayLoop, so she and the reader must make the right choices to break it.

* The Literature/AmericanGirlsCollection released "My Journey" books with the [=BeForever=] reimagining of the historical line in 2014. The books have a female protagonist going back to the Historical Character's time in a FieldTripToThePast, where they have several adventures with the main character. Since the books are aimed towards younger readers (late elementary to middle school), no endings result in death or major injury and the protagonist is always assumed to return home safely to her own time without major issues.

* The ''[[Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia Narnia Solo Games]]''.

* ''Literature/NintendoAdventureBooks'', released by Creator/{{Nintendo}}, which were essentially Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books starring either [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] or [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario and/or Luigi]]. Unlike many examples of this trope, in each book there was ''[[GoldenEnding only]]'' [[GoldenEnding one good ending]], with the bad endings having "GAME OVER!" written at the end. Also, when ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2 Super Mario Advance]]'' was first released, a Choose Your Own Adventure book that corresponded with the game's events was released by Scholastic. Each of the four characters went through one of the various worlds on their own and came together to fight [[BigBad Wart]], and at the same time, it was something of a guide for advice. Following it were ones for ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames'' and ''VideoGame/WarioLand 4''.

* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' has you choose which side to fight for: The peace loving Japanese-like Hoshido, and the Medieval Europe-like Nohr.

* Games made in the Twine engine are, generally speaking, variably elabourate versions of gamebooks: some tell a lightly interactive story, while others have audio-visual elements and some additional game mechanics. The most famous of these is probably ''VideoGame/DepressionQuest'', though many other Twine-based games have some degree of acclaim in independent game circles.

For those interested in creating their own choose your own adventure stories, several programs on the net allow for an easy access and coherent flowchart tool. A notable example is [[http://twinery.org/ Twine]], a completely freeware program that can be either downloaded or used through a browser.

** ''Literature/LegendOfZagor'' by Keith Martin [[note]](though credited to Ian Livingstone)[[/note]], 54rth installment of the series.

* ''Literature/LoneWolf'', featuring an epic swords-and-sorcery world and a continuing story line with the unique feature of importing your character from book to book. You can read most of them all open-sourced and legal, complete with author approval, at [[http://www.projectaon.org/ www.projectaon.org]].

* ''Literature/MurderAtColefaxManor'' is a British murder mystery gamebook set in UsefulNotes/VictorianBritain. Released as a free PDF [[https://goo.gl/7IlMZf here]].

* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' has the "code blue" game on their [[http://www.scrubs-tv.com/fun.html website]], in which your choices of lines of speech can dramatically alter your first day at the hospital.

* From Neil Cicierega of Music/LemonDemon and ''WebVideo/PotterPuppetPals'', "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUIu6_eTkjY Haircut, a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Song!]]"

* Creator/JasonShiga has a few gamebook {{webcomics}} on [[http://shigabooks.com/ his website]]. ''ComicBook/{{Meanwhile}}'' is the longest and best of these.
* ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel'' did an AlternateUniverse Choose Your Own Adventure story-arc in April of 2008, a second arc in December 2008, and a third in mid-2010. At particular points in the story line, readers were given a choice between different actions that the main character Ethan could take and were encouraged to send an email to a special account to indicate their selection. The choice with the most votes was illustrated for the next installment of the comic. Counts as a CYOA because Tim Buckley had already scripted out where each choice would lead ahead of time, and did not change "bad endings" even if they won the popular vote. The first story ended halfway through with the main character dying horribly due to a failed AirVentPassageway escape. Following this, the structure was modified so the narrative would have fewer "dying horribly" options and more "Ethan gets screwed but the story can continue" choices. Though [[http://www.cad-comic.com/images/news/planetofdoom_storytree.gif]] is still pretty bloodthirsty, the voters managed to get through it alive.

* ''Webcomic/DinosaurComics'' once had a "[[http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=1027 CYOA]]" that amusingly features a ButThouMust. A [[http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=1486 later guest strip]] by [[Webcomic/MSPaintAdventures Andrew Hussie]] features T-Rex attempting to do an animated strip version of a CYOA, with Dromiceiominus and Utahraptor discussing with him about the problems with handling a CYOA in said format. [[spoiler:It falls apart in the fifth panel, where T-Rex and Utahraptor end up carrying their conversation through the panel shifts.]] In case you want to read the whole thing at your own pace, [[http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1287951646 here you go]].

* ''Webcomic/{{Buttersafe}}'' has one, called [[http://buttersafe.com/2007/05/03/choose-your-own-adventure/ "Choose Your Own Adventure"]], but [[ChandlersLaw loses the will part way through...]]

* Lore F. Sjoberg's [[http://www.brunching.com/chooseadventure.html "Choose Your Own Damn Adventure"]] on the website ''Brunching Shuttlecocks''. In stark contrast to the usual escapist fare, a sardonic take on RealLife is played out in the form. It was later followed up with four sequels, "Choose Your Own Damn Serial Murder", "Choose Your Own Damn Sex Act", "Choose Your Own Damn Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Adventure", and "Choose Your Own Damn Franchise/HarryPotter Adventure".

** However, the "Quest Threads" have not stopped appearing, and have now become a main staple of /tg/, with multiple different settings and gameplay rules to choose from. Just look up the "Quest Threads" or "Collective Games" tags in the [[http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html /tg/ archives]].

** The relatively new /mlp/ board has spawned numerous quests including [[http://mlpg.co/arc/mlp/RenneQuest/RenneArchive.html# RenneQuest]], the never finished AuraQuest, and Shooting Stars, among others. A mostly complete archive can be found [[http://anonpone.pineapplecomputing.com/ here]]
