### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-07-06, version 12.0*

Wish there were more chapters

### 5/5 — A fun adventure

*2026-05-03, version 12.0*

This app firstly is a lot of fun, secondly the interface guides you through clearly, and thirdly works well with VoiceOver. The only things which need labeling properly are the inventory screen, and attribute buttons, both don’t speak when you swipe to them with the Voiceover screen reader.

### 4/5 — 1 único e pequeno probleminha

*2025-12-29, version 12.0*

Eu achei o jogo em bem legal mais seria muito bom se tivesse em outras línguas entendo um pouco inglês mais complica em muitos momentos por não ser 100% fluente agradeceria muito se adicionassem isso

### 3/5 — Great potential. Could be better

*2025-10-21, version 11.6*

The concept is really interesting and the layout and gameplay are better than most choose your own adventures on iOS. But there are a few issues. 1) the dice is weird. It took me a chapter and a half to realize that 43% success was if I rolled a 43 or lower I succeeded. I would explain that to players on the first dice roll. 2) it’s really disheartening when you fail so many dice rolls in a row. I get that the success rate is low because you need to get your stats better, but you also have to keep people engaged in the first couple of chapters and if they keep failing dice rolls and they feel like they’re missing out on the story they’re not going to want to continue playing. 3) I get that you want to make money off the game and I don’t fault you for that but saying that “this is the last free chapter” does not make me want to continue playing as a free player. Especially since the first chapter was so short. Most games don’t let you know that the following chapters are priced until you get there. Also I think there should be options for free players like watching ads. You would get more money from ads then you would by people not playing because it’s not free. But it is a good game. Interesting story and has great potential

### 3/5 — D20/not a D20? Confusing…

*2025-08-03, version 11.6*

The dice rolls are SUPER annoying. I have no idea what dice I’m rolling, but I’ve had results as high as 92- on something that looks like a D20? How can the same check fail on an 88 & 92, but succeed on a 42? Is it the opposite of D&D, and we’re trying to roll low instead of high? If the numbers on the dice are a combination of the number rolled with modifiers added, than DON’T. Just use the (presumably?) D20 like a D20 and show me what I rolled- a number between 1 & 20. It doesn’t need to be complicated, but if you do want to complicate it, at least add an explanation. As it is now, I have no idea what I’m trying to roll for, and it ruins the game.

### 5/5 — Great really enjoying it!

*2025-07-09, version 11.6*

I have been playing this game for a few hours now and I have enjoyed every second of it. I’ve always loved RPGs and after getting into tabletop versions I thought I might try a text based one. PLAY THIS GAME it’s not to easy not to hard and just fab!

### 4/5 — I enjoyed it a lot

*2025-07-03, version 11.6*

Fun but money requires to unlock the rest so 4

### 4/5 — First play-through thoughts

*2025-04-09, version 11.4*

I genuinely loved my first play-through and before I start my second, I wanted to leave a review. I gladly paid the 2.99 to continue as an appreciation to the two who made the game (and because I was attached to the story). Only reason I left 4 stars and not 5 was the spelling errors, which were few and far between, but distracting for me.

### 5/5 — Debug

*2025-03-15, version 11.4*

Didnt fix character select bug

### 3/5 — Good story, but feels rigged

*2025-02-13, version 11.4*

The stories are cool, but for the dice rolls something is off. No matter how high your chances are 8/10 times you will lose. The more Important the choice is the more likely you lose. That's my experience so far. That's my only complaint.
