You can type your own name and it gives you a lot of love options (tho I wish there was a LITTLE more time to get to know them better. For my ending, I was genuinely on edge with my decisions! Great writing, and very fast story to get thru. I might buy the rest if I have extra money to spend but I’m not big on purchasing apps. (Tho the price isn’t bad at all) The only thing I would ask to change is to add a back button in case I accidentally hit the wrong choice. ### 3/5 — Good, but *2025-08-12, version 4.0.15* You should make it AI based. Took me a hour to get bored. AI would make it unpredictable ### 3/5 — Please restore my purchases *2025-02-20* I’ve had this game for nearly two years and I got a new phone. I redownloaded the app and pressed restore purchases, I even signed in to Choice of Games and it refuses to give me my purchases from 2023. I have receipts and screenshots. Who do I contact to get either my money or my items? ### 3/5 — Love it, but part 2 bugged? *2024-01-24, version 4.0.14* I can’t load my saves from part 1, it just instantly ends amd gives me a 20 minute delay after selecting the save file. Disappointing i can’t continue the story but it shows the options ### 4/5 — Stakes are high *2022-08-24, version 4.0.10* This game does a good job at making me feel like I’m genuinely about to dismantle and disparage my family’s reputation. The aunt is good at her job, but I kinda wish she would stop talking haha. ### 4/5 — Love the game, but... *2020-09-17* There’s a glitch that stops me from being able to use my established character from chapter 1 in later chapters, can you please get this fixed? I’ve made my character suit my liking in stats already and I’ve grown attached to their specific story, so it’d be nice to get to continue using them ### 3/5 — Going back on a choice *2020-07-27* I really like this game and I’ve always been fond of choice stories. However, as a very indecisive person I would love the option to see al the choices I’ve made / chapters I’ve read on the side so I can go back and make another choice instead of starting over every single time. ### 3/5 — Eh *2020-05-24* I mean it’s okay but the story doesn’t change based on your gender/sexual orientation the names of the three main love interests change based on whether you prefer girls/boys. I went through the first play through basically being Anne Boleyn and I was hoping to romance the King’s daughter for my next play through but you can’t do that. Very disappointed. Also if you want part two you have to pay money and then you have to pay money again for part three. Overall eh. ### 5/5 — Shouldn’t have to pay for the next part *2020-02-09* It’s totally useless if we have to pay for the next chapter in the book, you already have the same app u have to pay for so what’s with this app having to pay ### 5/5 — The Best Choice Game *2019-12-18, version 4.0.5* The first part of the story is completely free which is nice but I chose to buy the 2 other parts of the story and it is DEFINITELY worth it. The sheer amount of endings and choices and drama is just insane and it makes the game interesting enough to be played over and over again. I’ve already played multiple times and still haven’t gotten even close to finishing all the endings there are. BUT the one thing I am a little disappointed in is that in order to reach the other 2 parts of the story and experience multiple endings you have to finish the first part of the story with the King. If you choose the other 2 suitors then the story ends with you marrying them and there’s not much else to it. Would be nice if there was a bit more variation to their endings as well. But overall this is THE most interesting choice game out of all the ones I’ve played! ### 5/5 — Worth the money *2019-10-05, version 4.0.5* It’s surprisingly nuanced and layered. There’s a real sense of tension throughout and I enjoy the court intrigue. ### 4/5 — Great game; but costs money to continue story *2019-09-05, version 4.0.5* I love the game. It has a lot of continuous potential. However the idea of spending more money sparingly doesn’t float my boat as much. I wish there was another way. ### 5/5 — Chose your ending novel *2019-08-09* This is more like one of those chose you own ending books, but I love it! The story lines are really good and there are so many different possibilities. I have played so many times I have lost count because I am determined to see every outcome. There are no pictures or graphics or anything (it’s pretty much an ebook) but I really didn’t mind cause the storyline is so good. Really wish they would do a sequel, or just more romance ones like this. I looked through the creators other games but they are all very different genres from this one. If you were a fan of the choose you own ending books as a kid you will love this game! ### 4/5 — Love it *2019-02-24* The game is good but I wish all the chapters were free. ### 5/5 — Worthwhile! *2018-12-08* Very well written and great playability. The story is engaging, the characters are believable and each choice alters he storyline greatly. Congratulations to the developers ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — verarsche? *2020-03-17* Es werden 3 Kapitel mit ca 80-tausend Wörtern angepriesen, aber nach dem ersten Kapitel (ca. 30 Minuten Spielzeit) kann man nicht mehr weiterspielen. Ich finde auch keine Option die weiteren Kapitel freizukaufen, es wird immer nur das Entfernen von Werbung für Geld angeboten. ### 1/5 — What? *2019-08-24, version 4.0.5* Can anyone else not delete the app ### 1/5 — Unpleasant Experience *2019-04-09* Now, I'm normally an unconfrontational person. I don't like to fight or argue, and I don't like to make people disappointed. The thing I hate about this is that you have no freedom, and when you choose literally ANYTHING it's always the wrong answer. There's also no way to NOT romance characters without literally ruining your reputation. It made me feel very uncomfortable, being Asexual, where I was basically forced into relationships so I didn't ruin my entire run. The only stories I've liked from you guys is 'Choice of the Dragon' and 'Creatures such as We'. Needless to say, I hated this one, and will probably never come back to it. ### 1/5 — Ummm sis please *2019-02-10, version 4.0.5* U have to buy to continue the games....like wth.it doesn’t have visuals or anything soooooo if u want an unfinished story buy this mush thank u , next. ### 1/5 — Can’t restore purchases *2018-10-02* I usually love the game, but after I got my new phone (still using the same apple account) I can’t restore my purchases. I spent money on this game and I can’t even play it. ### 1/5 — Becoming Mary Boleyn *2016-02-29* For as much as I read, this is completely plagiarized from the book The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory. Changing the names of characters and places while condensing the story does not make this an original work. ### 1/5 — Bug *2015-04-06* It Keeps Coming Up With "Index.html" error when I check stats. Then it says "Sorry the game must now be restarted to apply big fixes" and it RESETS my stats. So I have to restart the game :/ Please Fix This CoG ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2014-03-30* Keeps repeating chap 1. You have to buy it to continue the game. Even buying the game you only get chapter 1. Waste of money ### 1/5 — Huh *2011-09-02, version 2.0.1* After playing choice of dragon this was a real dissapointment. To much reading ### 2/5 — Bugged *2022-09-17, version 4.0.10* I can’t get to part 2 even if I wait 20 minutes, it just sends me back to the beginning ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Usually don’t like text based games but this is great!! *2024-04-28, version 4.0.14* I love it, the romantic aspect, the choices it was amazing! Thank you so much for making this! ### 5/5 — 괜찮은 게임 *2023-08-31* 이런 느낌의 텍스트 게임을 좋아해서 게임 자체는 좋아요. 현질유도가 좀 심한 점이 있지만 광고도 별로 없고 몇분 기다리시는 거 가능하시면 추천드립니다. 어휘가 꽤 고급이니 영어 잘 못하시면 비추에요. ### 5/5 — A good story and a good game *2022-06-04* You are the eldest child of a minor noble family and you’re being sent to court to make your fortune and in the process increase that of your family, in a land where the stability and prosperity of the realm depends on the delicate balance between the light and dark sides of magic (both capable of good or evil) nobles are heir to. From this classic premise you will play out a story of passionate romance, chilling intrigue and electrifying adventure. But of course AotC is more than just a good story. What makes the game so good is that it knows how to make the CYOA genre enjoyable, by focusing on the INNER story of your character, for which you make every choice from your gender to your strengths and weaknesses to your motivations and goals and of course every meaningful decision you must make to navigate the many crucibles and crises you encounter. Instead of trying to change the overarching story too much, which actually plays out quite linearly and predictably, a good CYOA means you will decide the HOW and the WHY of a story, which I think is what really immerses you in your character and the world around them. Loved it from start to finish, every step worth the full price. ### 5/5 — Really good *2022-03-14* Im happy I found that game again but I really wish it was available in german ### 5/5 — Gripping ‘til the end! *2022-01-10* This is a fantastically engaging romp through the life of a courtier - you can be conniving, power-hungry, and jealous, or honest, heartfelt and generous. Perhaps most importantly, all paths feel genuine. A great piece of interactive fiction. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2021-02-21, version 4.0.5* This sure made me blush! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2021-01-20, version 4.0.5* It’s so well made. SO worth the money 👌 ### 5/5 — My god, it’s amazing. *2020-07-04, version 4.0.5* I love this game so freakin much. That’s all I have to say, thank you for reading. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-06-27, version 4.0.5* I am in actual tears over this. The story had me on the edge of my seat constantly and it is deeply immersive. I chose to buy the other two parts (which are very inexpensive) and I was not disappointed. ### 5/5 — Romance options! *2020-04-16, version 4.0.5* Just started, great game. But I want to be able to court both the ladies and gentlemen! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
