### 1/5 — It's all Dutch to me

*2019-11-29*

Descriptions states that it's possible to view this story in Dutch or English but only the Dutch is visible. I have no idea how to get this to view in English so it's totally useless. Waste of money

### 5/5 — Buddy Bear

*2013-05-15, version 1.0*

I mistook this title for an interactive story of the same name. I was surprised to find its extreme simplicity to be an optimistic observation of life. Good luck to the author.
