So I wish either gems were cheaper or had less of an impact on the story. ### 2/5 — good but. *2026-08-23, version 27.00* you should have to give up diamonds everything something gets juicy ### 2/5 — Ok *2026-08-22, version 27.00* Overall, the game is ok. You get to choose your fate and the episodes are all very fun, but there is a problem: you have to use gems to have anything good happen to you, and it’s always a ridiculous amount. I have no idea how to even get them, so my only other option is to pay, and it is an absurd amount of money. I downloaded the game because it seemed fun, but it’s not fun enough to pay. Also, they make you create outfits and makeup, and then tell you that you must pay to keep it. Please fix this. ### 4/5 — Episode *2026-08-22, version 27.00* I absolutely love all these, it keeps me entertained and looking forward to read the next one, one thing I will say is that all the cute outfits you have to spend a lot of diamonds on which I understand but I feel like we need more options without the diamonds overall I love it I’ve tried others but there not as good at episode ### 4/5 — Episode player *2026-08-22, version 27.00* Episode is one of the best games I’ve ever played in my life but I really wish the gems didn’t cost money ### 2/5 — too many premium options *2026-08-22, version 27.00* absolutely infuriating how you can’t do anything positive in the stories without needing to spend gems/real life money. makes the game not worth playing because i can’t afford any “good” choices. ### 4/5 — peak and stuff *2026-08-22, version 27.00* why is this game kinda a crash grab?? the good options are always like 300 diamonds 🥹✌️ ### 3/5 — Help *2026-08-21, version 27.00* It won’t let me play the game it just says connection error ### 5/5 — I Love It! *2026-08-21, version 27.00* It's very fun and entertaining to play. ### 5/5 — Episode rating *2026-08-21, version 27.00* I love it but it is such a money spender ### 5/5 — Love love loveeee *2026-08-21, version 27.00* I love this game so much ugh it never fails to amaze me. My love for it never falters 🥺🥺🥰🥰😍 ### 4/5 — Fun *2026-08-21, version 27.00* Love but wish there were better options without gems but still so fun ### 3/5 — Great game, the gem thing sucks tho. *2026-08-21, version 27.00* I like episode, it’s really fun and the stories, but it just sucks that without gems I can’t do anything. It makes me crash out tens times a day, and rage quit because of the gem thing but it’s still a good game. I would rather have to watch ten adds to unlock one good answer while playing than pick a bad answer bc I don’t have any gems. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Avec tout le respect que je vous dois *2026-08-24, version 27.00* Mais il faut diminuer les choses payantes ### 1/5 — Never get this game *2026-08-22, version 27.00* I do like it but it’s telling u to do this but u have to use jems and it is very hard to get jems so I will now delete it because it is not a good game and lots of bugs,not very good,and half of the items cost 10 jems and over see I only have three and the stupid,idiot ai bots keep saying blah blah blah about my outfit my look my hair it just never ends Saturday 22nd August at 23:13 ### 1/5 — Too greedy *2026-08-22, version 27.00* Game is entertaining but why is it continuously trying to force you to buy diamonds to make decisions through out the whole game. It defeats the purpose of the game, at least let us watch ads like what the heck! will be uninstalling. ### 1/5 — Ewww *2026-08-21, version 27.00* Gay ### 1/5 — So expensive *2026-08-21, version 27.00* I don't like this cause it ALWAYS makes you buy diamonds so it doesn't get hot so no thanks! ### 1/5 — Money hungry childhood game turnt to trash. *2026-08-19, version 27.00* The amount of stupid gem choices for every decision that basically ruins the game is the cause of the downfall of episode.What is the point of letting such a sloppy,pay to enjoy,trashy plot game.The the only thing I can do to get gems is do a quiz and sell my data.I can’t even enjoy the plot if any good decision costs like 30 gems to do.The stories are sloppy most the time with the same repetitive slop.I have to watch an ad to just even read one chapter then I can’t even pick any good choice or I have to fess up £2.Then I can only read three chapters not being able to pick any good choice for the plot.I hope the company learns from this because the game is dying and rn for a good reason. ### 1/5 — Gems *2026-08-18, version 27.00* Literally all the good options are for gems ### 1/5 — bad *2026-08-17, version 27.00* did ent let me join ### 1/5 — I mean, it’s a good game but… *2026-08-17, version 27.00* The game is kinda hard when you’re a beginner and about every good option costs gems, which is kind of stupid then I kind of ruined the fun but I mean it is a good game to hear all the drama story but I wish I could play the game exactly how I want. make my own options even about what I want to wear. or I can defend myself and I think there should be more hair option ### 1/5 — STOP *2026-08-17, version 27.00* Cost money ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lov this app *2026-08-24, version 27.00* I love this game it’s like lov in real life ### 5/5 — I love ittt *2026-08-24, version 27.00* I absolutely love this game it’s too good ### 5/5 — DOWNLOAD IT!! *2026-08-23, version 27.00* i have loved episode every since i first downloaded it!!which was like, a long long time ago lol. i'd recommend it to anyone. i literally get so hooked into each one that is made. you can definitely tell that the author's have took their time to make each and every one special! ### 5/5 — Favorite game *2026-08-23, version 27.00* I’ve been playing episode for years and I still love playing it ### 5/5 — Epic *2026-08-23, version 27.00* Best game ever.
