### 2/5 — 🍑

*2022-04-04, version 1.1.6*

Story doesn’t really make sense, as I fan of zombie exodus i was excited to play this game to, but then as I started playing it kind of jumped into the chaos and maked no sense.

### 2/5 — Ok, but could be better

*2015-11-27, version 1.1.0*

I think the story idea is really rad but it could use a little something to make it more entertaining.

### 2/5 — It has potential, but work is needed.

*2015-07-01, version 1.1.0*

Hey, I didn't think it was all too bad. Could you please rewrite it though. I liked the  beginning of it but the other reviews are not lying. This story is not long at all, you die in nearly every ending, and it lacks any skill or item requirements. It's almost like reading a short book with a bad ending. The personalization of a character is supposed to influence the story. It would be better if all the choices weren't either you choose the right one or you're dead. Depending on what you choose should change how the plot unfolds. Thank you for your time and effort in this game. I really do hope you take my advice. There is potential if the story is rewritten. I am a very experienced CoG or HG player, but I would never try to write one. It takes more time and dedication than I can provide. This is not a story I would currently recommend, but it is hardly the worst.

### 2/5 — Bleh

*2015-03-13, version 1.1.0*

Bleh about sums up this app. It had potential but I get the impression the writer stopped caring and got fed up with it. 
Maybe it was a first attempt.

### 2/5 — don't bother

*2015-01-11, version 1.1.0*

By far the worst COG game. Read the same phrases over and over again. Pacing was terrible. The ending I got was boring and nonsensical.

### 2/5 — Crass

*2014-12-28, version 1.1.0*

The writing was repetitive and dialogue lacked any real power. After a time the game became tedious to continue as it seemed there were times when the storyline would skip ahead. There was an appalling lack of any skill sets/tools.

The only good quality about the game is that the beginning at least felt somewhat intriguing; however, that sensation quickly de-escalated.

I would advise the author take time to hone his craft before attempting another endeavor as such as this.

### 2/5 — Poorly written

*2014-09-29, version 1.0.1*

Short, poorly written. Not a patch on some others like Life of a Wizard. Even the 'good' endings are pretty boring. Obvious why it's free.

### 1/5 — 0 star game

*2014-07-18, version 1.0.1*

Written by a preteen. The endings are typical, nothing special about the plots, lack of storyline, and after all you can't really make your own story. Worthless

### 1/5 — Could have been good, but...

*2014-07-17, version 1.0.1*

At first, I was starting to like the plot and I liked the characters, but every ending that I've come to is simply stupid, most being death and one waking up and all of it being a dream. Too short. If this game was improved a lot, to what is acceptable, I would be happy about it. Good characters, starts well, but all of the endings I have found have annoyed me. Improving these things would make it a good game.

### 1/5 — Nou

*2014-07-02, version 1.0.1*

It was awful, written by a preteen.

### 2/5 — Not what I had hoped

*2014-05-27, version 1.0.1*

The writing style in this game was passible, but I felt the weaknesses really kept the game from holding my interest. I felt like the main character had no identity, the writing is repetitious, and the ending (WARNING, VAGUE SPOILER) is horribly disjointed. Also a few of the responses redirect to incorrect pages.

That said, I felt like certain things about the story had promise and I hope the author will come out with a new game some day that is more polished.

### 3/5 — Not a good read

*2014-04-28, version 1.0.1*

The game was alright.. But the way it's wrote with the same sentences such as "big giant bobble heads" is repeated over and over which makes me think the writer copied and pasted the same sentences throughout the game, and it is agreed that you are limited to your choices without dying.. All in all, I wouldn't of bought this game..

### 1/5 — Dissapointed

*2014-04-17, version 1.0.1*

It's badly written and couldn't keep my attention.

### 1/5 — Primitive Writing, Linear Story.

*2014-03-03, version 1.0.1*

Don't bother with this game. Obviously written by a preteen who doesn't understand the first thing about writing or game development.

### 1/5 — This was worthless

*2014-02-22, version 1.0.1*

There has to be false reviews going on here because the was the absolute worst choice of game I've ever played nothing about it was good. The story was ok but it lacked everything that made the choice if games great. The use of skills and statistics, you couldn't control the story at all if you deviated you die, you didn't get to choose your sex, and you don't even get a name. This was the absolute worst choice of "hosted" game. Some of them are actually better than the regular games, but this was just absolute crap.

### 2/5 — I agree

*2014-02-17, version 1.0.1*

The game makes you take one set path, if you stray from the path you die. There needs to be more ways the player can influence the game.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Mistake to ignore reviews

*2019-05-24, version 1.1.1*

I ignored the reviews thinking the writing couldn’t be that bad.  I am not even sure this person has ever been outside.  The story is leading, punishing you when you do logical, sound decisions they don't want you to make.  Somehow I used a bow and arrow to shoot through someones stomach and into a zombies head.  The indecisive character decisively forces you to perform different actions because the writer wants you to.  Its bad.  Stay away.

### 1/5 — The ending 95% of the time

*2019-01-01, version 1.1.1*

You die. You get killed by zombies, shot in the head by friends, murdered by disease, and sometimes the endings just don’t make any sense. It’s not a survival story, it’s a poorly written “choose your method of death.”

### 1/5 — Yikes.

*2017-07-30, version 1.1.0*

Was this written by a 12 year old?
I've downloaded many of the stories you guys put out - and have loved them! But this one is just painfully bad.

### 1/5 — End games everywhere

*2016-06-15, version 1.1.0*

For those who want to get this app, be prepared for a lot of "END GAME". This game will punish you for just a small mess up the seems reasonable, and basically forces you to do things you normally wouldn't do. Otherwise it's decent

### 1/5 — bad

*2015-06-23, version 1.1.0*

Not worth your time people, it starts off like it'll be interesting. But it's repetitive and in all endings that only last about a page or so, you die. From nothing... Absolutely nothing.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2015-04-09, version 1.1.0*

I gotta agree with one of the other reviews and say this is the worst choice game I've ever played. Some of the other games have been bad but this is one is easily the worst.

The only good thing I can say about it is that it started off interesting.

### 1/5 — This game is turtle balls

*2015-01-21, version 1.1.0*

Either way no matter what you do you always die in the end! And still, WHY THE WAITING PEOPLE! You guys are lucky no one has called you guys any names or swore in the reviews! But I think that can be explained by the number of people who have bought the game. The people probably only still have the games to find the other millions of bad things with this game. Wow, just wow...

### 1/5 — Awkward

*2014-10-29, version 1.0.1*

I love this style of game, but the writing in Burn(t) is just awful. Like, comically bad. On the plus side you will finish it within about 5 minutes as it's also about as lengthy as a pamphlet.

### 1/5 — Horrible ending.

*2014-10-05, version 1.0.1*

I had high hopes for this game, but the ending was a kick to the gut.

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE!!!!!!!

*2014-09-13, version 1.0.1*

WoW! I can't even believe how bad it was. There was so many repetitive texts. AND, I didn't even do anything wrong and it killed me! SO BAD WHOEVER MADE THIS! PLEASE TAKE IT OFF THE APP STORE

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — DEATH

*2020-06-07, version 1.1.4*

Hey is that a butterfly you touch you die.The thing is you keep on dying.Every choice has death hiding behind it.But it is a nice story before you die five times.I mean I like this but take away some of the wrong choices.

### 5/5 — PLEZ READ LOVE GAME

*2016-07-28, version 1.1.0*

Ok first of all love game so fun but need a little more drama. PS.make more games like this ;). !!!!!!

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2015-07-15, version 1.1.0*

I love these stories, but there needs to be more. More stories, more endings, more choices.
 But these stories are amazing, thank you.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2015-04-06, version 1.1.0*

Absolutely brilliant, just wish it was a bit longer.
Although it was short it was written so well that in such short time i had developed an emotional connection to abbey (although i really dislike dan as a character)

### 5/5 — Make more chapters plz

*2014-02-02, version 1.0.1*

Please make more chapters this is quite the story

### 5/5 — It's good...

*2014-01-05, version 1.0.0*

The story is really good, tho there are some bugs to fix, if this game continues were it left off I would be happy to play it.

### 5/5 — SO GREAT!!

*2013-12-22, version 1.0.0*

Just playing the game over and over again with the different scenarios is so entertaining!! I can't put my phone down! It's great for my kids too. It keeps them entertained while they are reading! A+ work guys. Can't wait to see what you all bring in the future

### 5/5 — Great app from COG

*2013-12-22, version 1.0.0*

I loved this app it's defiantly worth the upgrade too. The story was interesting & kept me interested the whole way. I also found it hard to run into the same exact story line again. Overall it's a great app!!!!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — ENTICING!

*2013-12-21, version 1.0.0*

This game keeps me interested! I constantly find myself trying to put it down, but the storyline is too interesting.. The $1.99 version is very much worth it if you want to really focus on the game.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2013-12-20, version 1.0.0*

It's a great game for those that are into the D&D type games.
