Definitely worth it
There are so many choices, an intricate story, and definitely a lot of fun gameplay in building up the company. It was incredibly satisfying watching as the company starts out with nothing and soon becomes something awesome. Highly recommend as a seasoned purchaser of Choice of Games
A superb tale of high-stakes magical capitalism
I wrote a much longer review, but unfortunately the App Store glitched and ate it. So I will summarize: get this game. It will NOT screw you over with unexpected skill checks after a plot twist, it WILL reward a determined strategy, it will NOT subject you to fake choices that affect nothing, it WILL give you a variety of meaningful options, it WILL allow you to succeed by playing to your strengths, it WILL offer multiple intelligent trade-offs, and it WILL NOT railroad you into failing encounters, though you can fail if you don't play to your strengths.
Plot is great, characters are good, choices are engaging.
If you've ever wanted to know more about the Ominous Super-Advanced Corporations in cyberpunk or urban fantasy settings, work for one, reform one, or ruthlessly exploit one for everything it's worth, buy this game!

Good but not great
Good story that’s fun to play but doesn’t allow for much change or customisation to it, even though the linear story you play is quite good it just isn’t worth as much as it’s being sold for.
Come on, people
It's a great game, a lot of choice. Worth the purchase; one of the games I come back to. Sequel worthy.
I Throughly Enjoyed This One!
I gotta say I really liked this one! After I had put quite a few hours into Wise Use of Time I looked for similar or urban concepts from that bundle thing. And lemme’ tell you this game is awesome! I don’t know when I started but rest assured I “finished” around 4:00 A.M. and I enjoyed every minute!

Awesome!
This was so much fun!!! It might be my favorite choice game to date.
slow beginning, but amazing read
i have to admit that compared to the other choice of games books ive read (quite a few), the beginning wasn’t engaging. i found it stressful to be in charge of the company but to do so poorly in the evaluations. HOWEVER, it quickly progressed into something amazing once the surgeons were introduced. this book is a wonderfully written story that really draws the reader in. to my total surprise, i was actually able to save the world, which i hadn’t been expecting to be able to do (mainly because i felt i made wrong choices from time to time). if you’re looking for a great book, check this one out—it’s worth it.

Sequel already!
Great game!!! Where is the sequel?
Great Game
This was a very entertaining game. I rarely ever sit down and read a book because games like this are way better in my opinion. I’ve played this through 3 times now and I never stopped the Surgeons from spreading the Earth, and have never kept a good relationship with Robyn Goodchild throughout the entire game. I wish it was a little less challenging to save the world and stay cool with Robyn, but it is still a great game. In the past I played Alter Ego, another one of Choice of Games LLC’s games, and that was very fun as well. I am looking forward to the next game that they release.

Very exceptional text adventure
I rarely, if ever, write reviews. But I had to for this game. The characters, the dialogue, the story - it truly transports you to this other reality. The game lasted me about 3 hours, but I played it almost nonstop (restarted a few times in there too).
BUY this game. Out of every text and quasi-text adventure, this is a shining example of how fun they can be.
My other favorites:
- 80 Days
- Broadsides
- Fall of Daria Trilogy
