Hi Kevginger, thanks for the review. I hope I understand your question correctly -- no data goes to Apple or your credit card provider just for signing up for an account in Euphoria. But if you decide to make an in app purchase, that transaction is handled (as with any other app on iOS) via Apple.

Amazing

Better than I imagined
I gave it a chance, though and was very pleasantly surprised. In creating your own type of story you are only limited by you own imagination and attention to detail. Taking the time to go through the setups and tweak things is mandatory, but doesn’t take very long. You can change everything from story beats, to tracking variables like health, character art, descriptions, etc.
The AI is imperfect, of course. There are hiccups now and then, especially if you play beyond the initial 8 chapter setup it plans out and the world starts to expand beyond the set characters that were already defined. It will begin to reuse assets or get a name confused as the roster grows to 20+ people. Interestingly, the world stays consistent, the AI just has a problem handling that many characters.
In my opinion, this is completely offset by the ability to play in exactly the settings I choose, to input my own responses rather than just those provided for me, and the surprisingly good adaptation of the AI to unexpected, branching narratives. The initial set cast of characters is also extremely consistent in their behavior and responses.
It’s different than traditional VN offerings, in a good way, I think. Not necessarily better, but a different delicious flavor. The creator is very good at responding to feedback and bug requests, usually getting back within a matter of hours.
Give it a try. It’s free to make your first book, and I wasn’t disappointed. Gotten hours and hours of enjoyment out of this app so far.

So good!
As a test I just threw in a story idea to see how things would go, and I was absolutely floored. Characters with depth and nuance, genuine emotions, twists you don’t see coming, realistic consequences for choices, and the ability to customize your responses and have the story adapt in real-time. On top of that, the amount of detail you can apply to creating your story is amazing. From the characters backgrounds/motivations, story details, and AI-assisted sprite creation with your exact details and instructions, and customizable spice level (the devil is in the details with this one). I have experienced a gambit of emotions from the stories I’ve been able to create with the AI. If you love visual novels (RC, SHS, and LOD are some of my favorites, for reference), have a creative spirit or a story idea you want to try, I think you’ll definitely be happy with this app.
Now the bad. Sometimes the AI loses branching threads. It doesn’t happen often and in some books it doesn’t happen at all. The great thing is, it can and will right itself with or without assistance. I love the character creator but I wish we could have a private folder for the characters we create. Sometimes the characters can get pushed down beyond the search, the search engine in the creator isn’t the greatest for finding them again, and it only shows a finite amount. This may be good or bad depending on how you like to read your stories, but when you reread your story, and make all the same decisions again, it still won’t be exactly the same. I don’t mind this, so just a head’s up if you do.
This is just a personal thing, but since the app is rated 17+, I wish more dark content was allowed to be published with warnings. If you’re a very dark romance and dark erotica lover, you won’t find what you’re looking for in the readily-made books because of the content restrictions. But you can find some yandere. With that said, you can create those books (again, the story details section will need to be customized to do this) within reason. Like with most AI, morality sensors are locked in. Phrasing helps, but it still gets triggered for sometimes inane things. For instance in one of my custom stories a hacker was exploiting vulnerabilities in a computer system and I got an alert for it. I don’t have any other complaints because it seems the developers are very active. Anytime there is a bug or an issue it seems to be fixed pretty quickly.
Love this app and can’t recommend it enough. RIP to my wallet, though.

Thank you for your amazing review :) We hope you will continue to have lots of fun with the game and create many more stories! We've taken your feedback and implemented a folder system for the character images. You can now also scroll to the very end of the character list. And a way to export your full book is coming soon ;) Again, thank you and we'd be happy to implement many more of your suggestions ❤️
