Hi, I’m editing this review the asked you if it’s possible when you go to update your game again if you can add a horror episode of some kind that would be great and like I said before it will be also nice to exit the story with some kind of different jester may be a three finger swipe down because you gotta keep closing the app and reopen it just to get out of that story and go back into the main menu but I love your game. Keep up the good work and if it’s possible, add a horror episode. Thank you. If I have to pay a couple of dollars to buy the episode once it’s added, I will because I’m into a lot of audio games and a horror story would be great. I love all six of the games now so thank you again. I have a question for you about the new swipe gesture when the story is over, you can swipe up the get back to the story list but can you make one gesture to where you can swipe down with one finger while you’re inside of an episode the exit to the main menu screen because when you’re in an episode two exit, you have to close the app and reopen it is there anyway you can fix that to where you don’t have to close the app at all? I was playing an episode, but I couldn’t go back to the main screen without closing the app to get out of the episode and could you please make a pause gesture to where you can actually pause the episode that you’re currently in I love all your apps games but what I don’t like really is you have to close the app to exit the episode and then re-open the app to get back into your main menu would you please consider making those new couple gestures in your next update thank you keep up the good work hopefully in the future you guys come out with new episodes like I said, make it to where you can exit the episode that you’re currently in Aaron‘s, Jared, where you can pause the episode that you’re currently in thank you

Response from developer
Thank-you for the excellent feedback.
We absolutely would love to make a truly scary episode. Maybe in the future.
It is currently possible to exit a story and return to the main menu without exiting the application. While in a story, you can tap on the top left (Gear icon) and then a swipe-up will take you back to the main menu without exiting the application.
Each story has approximately 6 places where the story is saved automatically, but you have to reach that place for it to save.
If you have more detail we would love to hear it.
Thank-you so much for enjoying our game and taking the time to write this review. As a small team we appreciate that you took the time to acknowledge our work.
