  • Great Story, No Sequel

    The game and story are phenomenal. The skills and items you acquire actually have a noticeable impact on gameplay. However, there used to a be sequel to the game available on the App Store and they yanked it from existence for apparently no reason, so I am removing a star for that.
  • Possibly the best thing ive ever downloaded. And I still come back to it.

    I’ve come back to this game/story and i still believe its the best thing I’ve ever downloaded, even after about 2-3 years. An unbelievable game, play with quality headphones and at night for near perfect immersion.
  • Amazing. A must buy.

    This game is so good. Unbelievably good. You're doing yourself a disservice by not playing it already.
  • Like a real RPG

    Or an old DOS adventure game...

    Writing is fantastic, music is great atmosphere, and it's like having a DM dictate game to you (except you only get certain choices). I wish there were choices for dialogue (would involve more writing), and some alternative to the dice, because rolling skill checks on 2d6 is irritating. Same for combat. Very easy to roll bad and die.

    Still amazing, and I'm only on the third chapter. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an adventure game but finding A Dark Room too tedious or difficult :-)

  • Unique and Well written

    As a huge fan of pen and paper RPG game, I'd like to say wow and thank you. It's superbly written, the art is striking and wonderfully fitting, I love the simple and effective dice combat system and think the replay value is massive. Please keep it up.
  • Great for Experienced Players

    Hienlein-esqe themes/prose, glimmers of witty banter, and the occasional smashing of the fourth wall make this a riveting and entertaining 'choose your own adventure.'

    The writing can edge on immature at times and some portions of the script would have benefited from editing but thanks to the author's talent for story telling you will find yourself forgetting any such faults.

    This game is however not for cyoa noobs. An introductory to title needs extensive tutorials and information regarding point investment. When approaching this game you need to know how 'skills' are used in games like this and must have already come to the realization that arbitrary choices or a shotgun method of character development will result in failure and frustration.

    If you have a background in tabletop RPGs and/or other cyoa books then you will get your money's worth, otherwise you might end up with a broken iphone.

  • Great writing, cooperative dev.

    Not only is the writing great, and the gameplay satisfying enough, but the dev is also very cooperative and fixes any reported bugs within a short period of time. Great!
  • FUN

    This is a very fun and cool app. The writing is very good and at times laugh out load funny. Give it a chance and you will be amused for few hours. Can't recommend it enough.
  • Good concept, good writing, poor probability...

    This game has a decent amount of content going for it. Good and somewhat engaging writing along with acceptable illustrations. The stupid "dice" game has me rail-roaded down certain paths because I lose EVERY time, right in the beginning where stat-play shouldn't be such a factor. Why offer a choice? Plus you have to slog through all the crap (more fixed dice games) to get to where you were after death, only to get predictably unreasonably rolls, even after investing in the skills that SHOULD give you a leg up. Tiresome and monotonously repetitively boring. Suppose I'll give it a few more goes... :/ this has potential but the dice are rigged...update: five more losses in a row, using the only skills I added points too. Story is good but random/ continuous losing streaks call for an uninstall.

  • Fun to read/Play

    It was somewhat hard to get into but once I got past the intro and somewhat into the first chapter it seemed to get far more interesting. The way the story unfolds with help of your own choices blends really well, far better than most other choice driven stories I've played. It's a fun game/story and it's quite compelling to keep playing.
