Maia!

Great story and love the artwork. The issue of cut off text can be frustrating. With the team working on ep.2 I doubt we’ll get a fix.

Amazing

So proud of you for creating and building this amazing world. I absolutely love it! You deserve all the support and blessings to creating more amazing games with Maori in it!!!

Captivating, dynamic storytelling

Engaging from start to finish, including countless options that will keep you guessing (and second guessing) every step of the way. Guardian Maia is as powerful as it is fun. Masterfully conceived, brilliantly executed.

Love it

I enjoyed this very much and can’t wait for another epsiode👏🏻

Beautiful all over

From the story to the interesting choices to the intriguing characters to the smatterings of indigenous words (all with in-text glossary definitions) this game is beautifully crafted and stunningly presented. The images are superbly done and the flow of the story is not at all undermined or disrupted by the player making choices.

Combat’s a little easy to cheese on replays, not relying on clever tactical chaining of moves, but it’s easily made up for by the creative branching storyline. The choices are often all equally reasonable and really let you play as you wish, with only a few leading to immediate denials (ie. death). I’m looking forward to the future instalments with bated breath - fairly sure I’ve made some ‘poor’ choices that will bite me later but hey! In the meantime, I have this cool cloak!

Pretty Cool

Female main character? Lessssgo. Make an actual game please. I need to be fighting mangā & one day.. kill Moko. Lessssgoooo! When y’all make this one of those.. I’m a bot mobile/xbox gamer and would be keen to test. I’m just saying. 👀

It was fun

Nice twist

High quality, generous quantity

It has a well-written, engaging story and exciting gameplay in an original setting. One of the most visually pleasing text adventures I’ve seen.

Amazing! Only one concern

First off I hate to read but this had me hooked the entire time. It’s simply amazing. The only issue I have is when your choices pop up it blocks the story and it’s unable to read. Please try and remedy this before Chapter 2. Otherwise keep up the great work!!!

Compelling Characters

I’m usually not a fan of choose-your-own-adventure stories, but this one was fantastic. Maia is an immediately relatable protagonist. I really cared about her to the point of worrying about how each decision would affect her fate. Even the villain is interesting and sympathetic. The story so far is a bit of a hero’s journey with a Maori twist. Looking forward to the next installment.
