Not steadily, but something always makes me come back to them and give a few that catch my eye some time. “It’s Killing Time” deserves the 5 stars, and the money. It’s a perfectly crafted story with believable combat, twists and turns, and just superb writing overall. I also really enjoyed how the author must be a fan of MMA, or just did his due diligence in his research, as the hand-to-hand combat was so eloquently described with real-life moves and situations. At times, in combat, I really felt like I was witnessing a real fight between two mixed martial artists, and it was cool getting to chime in with my choices about that. Overall, this game is truly superb. If you’re a fan of things like the Jason Bourne movies, Liam neeson movies, Netflix’s “The Gray Man” or anything like that, you will absolutely love this game. Extremely well crafted, very compelling, and amazing choices and results. Bravo! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2022-03-15, version 1.1.2* Finished Tin Star and Zombie Exodus, then this mediocre half-finished work, what a waste of time and money… ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-01-27, version 1.1.1* Thrilling action packed and sexy ### 5/5 — Loved it *2018-06-23, version 1.1.1* Wasn't exactly what I expected, however I still enjoyed it very much ### 5/5 — This Game is ADDICTING *2017-07-20, version 1.1.0* I was at a hotel & this game was recommended to me. It totally sounded like my kind of game. The game is a little different being that it is a game book; however, none the less it is definitely a well made & well thought out game! I can't stop playing it. I'm not too big on reading, but the scripts are soooo intriguing! I honestly can't wait to finish the game & then restart it so I can make different game choices and see what kind of new plot lines I get into and how it will reshape my character. If the name of the app lures you in DOWNLOAD it, you won't be disappointed. It deserves 5 stars all the way around! ### 5/5 — Killer good time *2017-07-20, version 1.1.0* I decided to go in a different route while purchasing a game. So I tried this and I couldn't put it down. It was so engaging. Brought back amazing memories as a kid reading the choose your own adventure books. So much better to have choices while reading then having someone tell you what to do. Lol. Looking forward to the next one great job! ### 5/5 — Rocks! *2017-05-22, version 1.1.0* Love this app. I don't usually buy apps but this one' great. Brings back memories of the old "choose your own adventure" stories. Really immersive and gritty. Let's you choose everything from your looks to assassination style to sexual orientation. It's for practically anyone and has some great features. I have a small phone so sometimes it's difficult to read but it allows you to adjust the font size which is pretty cool. ### 5/5 — Couldn't put it down!! *2017-05-22, version 1.1.0* My first interactive book and I absolutely loved it! The plot itself is really great and I really enjoyed the interaction w the story. What a great app to replace my mindless games ### 5/5 — Very engaging gamebook, written by a pro, effective branching *2017-05-22, version 1.1.0* Very good gamebook. The writing is extremely professional, the choices offer good branching and nice role-play option, and the stats on the character your building are a nice touch. Fun to read, e.g., during a flight. Five stars ### 5/5 — Great game!!! Fast-paced fun *2017-05-22, version 1.1.0* I love Choice of Games and have played almost all of their games. This one is absolutely fantastic. It's exciting and draws you in from the very beginning and doesn't let up. There are lots of ways to play through which is great for replay value. I really like how every choice makes a difference and you can play exactly the way you want to play. The characters are interesting and help to create a vivid atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out. Highly recommend. ## Frequently asked questions about It's Killing Time ### What is It's Killing Time?
