### 1/5 — Crashes

*2024-06-22, version 1.0.6*

I can’t play the game, it crashes every time I try to open it. I spent a long time waiting for this app to be fixed and trying different ways to fix it myself. It never worked. I’m giving up and just deleting it permanently.

### 1/5 — Can’t play just crashes upon opening

*2022-08-13, version 1.0.6*

Hoping it gets fixed! I really want to play!!

### 1/5 — App doesn’t even start

*2021-12-17, version 1.0.6*

Doesn’t even start on iOS 15.x, iPad Pro 2021

As expected of a developer that abandoned iOS. Avoid his stuff like the plague.

### 1/5 — Grossed out...

*2016-02-06, version 1.0.6*

I think the age you should be when it comes to playing this should be much higher then 12+. I have only played twenty or do minutes into this, but there has been a lot of sexual innuendo, one swear word, and a character who is a girl just kissed another girl. The whole situation with how the characters are reacting to each other/what they say is very unrealistic, almost ridiculously so.
Definitely not going to be playing this any longer.

### 4/5 — Can't read text

*2015-11-27, version 1.0.6*

The only problem with this app is the problem listed above. Though that may just the device because when I download this app on my iPhone 4s the text is blurry but when I downloaded it onto my iPad 2 the text is better. So if something can be made to fix this it would be great.

### 1/5 — Stupid game/story

*2014-10-09, version 1.0.2*

Horrible, demo seemed good so I bought it, but the rest of the game was only twice as long with a handful of times you could choose what to do. I couldn't view any quests I picked up bc the app didn't work right either. It was stupid, save your money.

### 2/5 — Kinda lame

*2014-10-07, version 1.0.2*

It started out interesting, but choices were limited, and even after all attempts not to be with a character you suddenly are at the end.

### 4/5 — Awesome! Really enjoyed it!

*2014-09-06, version 1.0.2*

Okay, love this game. BUT, and I know it's a game novel, I wish that you didn't have to get the next one and they were all conjoined. A lot of fun!

### 3/5 — Problems

*2014-04-28, version 1.0.2*

I finished the demo and bought the game, but when I did I couldn't save, load, or check my quests. So I closed the app but that didn't fix it, then I restarted my phone but that didn't help either. 

Alright I deleted the app and downloaded it again that seemed to work but I had to start over from the beginning, I don't mind it but if you play the demo and want to play the rest you may have to replay the first few chapters.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2014-04-11, version 1.0.2*

The storyline was good, a bit short though.  It had an interesting plot although it could be a bit longer.
