  • Took me six tries

    This game was fun. Took me 6 attempts to “win.” I liked the variety of choices you can make as your character.
  • Will They Ever Be Another Ending?

    I got all the endings, and I’m wondering, will they’ll be another ending, I have a great idea, after killing Clarissa, the ghost of Malcolm comes and tries to gives us a scare, Veronica wakes up only to reveal it’s been a dream, we then can take two choices by telling Malcolm that they had a dream or ordering champagne for Malcolm, leading into a route to poisoning Malcolm, that’s my idea

  • Waste of money

    I played around the world in 80 days. This game doesn’t even come close. The options are repetitive and boring. The graphics are terrible. I paid 5.99 for this garbage.
  • Dull

    I loved 80 Days but this game was predictable, pretty boring and repetitive. Feels like it could have been more interesting and engaging, but falls short...
  • Can’t see words

    The font is so tiny - if there was a setting to increase the size I could try it?
  • Phenomenal!

    I truly love this game. It’s beautifully designed, SO clever, and devilishly hilarious! It took me more times than I can count, in order to “win” but I’ll be playing again to try other combinations. LOVE IT! More like this, please!
  • Not Worth It

    Even when taking a new path a lot of the game seemed pretty repetitive. Each round also seems to go really quickly to me. Cool concept, but just not my favorite for how much it costs.
  • Soooooo boring

    I guess I don’t like a role playing game, this was just incredibly boring for me. Bought it an hour ago and pushed myself to get to the end. It’s just choosing dialogue…obviously a lot of people enjoyed it, but a bit waste for me, I’d never play it again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  • Clever idea, disappointing

    The premise is unique and could be really cool. The dialogue is good although I often felt obvious responses weren’t available. For the price of the game I expected it to be fully voice acted and to have interactive backgrounds, but essentially it is a text adventure with character artwork. If I had known that beforehand I would not have bought the game at this price. I would say wait for a sale if you want to check it out. The storylines are entertaining and I can see how the game would have decent replay value.

  • Flat, two-dimensional, and far from a fully realized game!

    I had really high hopes for this game, but honestly it wasn’t worth the money. I got through the game in about 20-25 minutes, and I was taking my time.

    It’s a very interesting premise for a game, which is why I downloaded it, but I wasn’t impressed at all. I think the creators were going for an illustrative, storybook effect, but it really was just a disappointingly flat and two-dimensional UI.

    There is no interaction in this game at all (seriously).
    When you’re “searching” for evidence, you can’t actually see the rooms you’re supposed to be looking through or the evidence itself. The entire game is set up like this: a flat, unmoving illustration of your character is on the screen and you must choose from 3 simple options for the given dialogue or action in that particular scene. The dialogue appears on screen like chat bubbles from an old comic, and you never hear any of the voices or narration of the characters at all. You also can’t see anything inside the ship at all.

    You can replay the game different ways to find different outcomes. However, even in doing so, there’s a lot of redundancy and overlap in the plot lines and it becomes boring because you know what the characters are going to say next.

    I want to reiterate that I really did want to like this game. I understand that it’s hard to build a fully realized game world within an iPhone app, but this game really fell short. I didn’t find myself invested in the plot, the characters, anything. Wouldn’t recommend!
