### 5/5 — Charming and unique

*2026-03-27, version 1.19*

Like nothing I’ve ever played before. Short-ish, but well worth it!

### 5/5 — Part 2

I need another adventure. Freaking awesome!!!!

### 5/5 — More

*2026-03-09, version 1.18*

### 5/5 — Exquisite “chefs kiss “

*2026-02-25, version 1.17*

Freaking love it. I need another one. New story line, new adventure, new challenges. WORTH EVERY FREE PENNY AND PAYABLE PENNY.

### 5/5 — A unforgettable journey

*2026-02-25, version 1.17*

When I started this half, I only got it because of some YouTuber who reviewed it. After playing it, and going through the journey with the story, it really sticks with me. How’s it interact with you and the features of this one is really innovative, and I adore the style of the story. Thank you for this wonderful piece of art.

### 5/5 — What a blast

*2026-02-19, version 1.16*

The only complaint is that it ended. And it ended just when it should’ve. Creative use of the phones capabilities. Puts the reader right in the story, central to the story. Thank you thank you to the creators of this program. Can’t wait to see what you do next.

### 3/5 — Didn’t like not knowing when it was recording me

*2026-02-04, version 1.16*

There’s a point where the book will ask you to spin around and while your doing that the camera is active and recording with no warning.

### 3/5 — 5star turned 3

*2026-02-01, version 1.16*

Played demo and loved it bought it on my iPad and got to the 1000 steps spot in the book and it will not track my steps . All permissions are on and precise location too. Fix this and back to 5 star. Also updated iPad

### 5/5 — Fantastic original idea, brilliantly executed.

*2026-01-10, version 1.16*

If you are on the fence, just trust me- download this NOW.  I honestly believe this is the future of all e-books.  Which is AWESOME!

It’s like an e-book that’s come to life.

### 5/5 — Buy

*2026-01-05, version 1.16*

This is honestly the coolest thing ever definitely work buying!! Would definitely buy more like this.

### 5/5 — It’s so cute!

*2025-12-25, version 1.16*

I adore this story. I will say that it does have a pay wall after chapter 2, and if you aren’t into weird puzzle games then this is not the game for you. But if you like reading and love weird puzzles then you will absolutely adore this story

### 5/5 — Magical

*2025-12-20, version 1.16*

This is the experience I’ve been dreaming of since the days of choose your own adventure books.  I hope there will be more like this!

### 5/5 — Severely limiting

*2025-12-15, version 1.16*

Honestly from what little bit I’ve played, I actually really liked and enjoyed this game. To the point that I had brought the full game the second I learned about it, but I find the steps things really limiting. 

It’s upsetting bc I was genuinely enjoying the game, but I’m not someone who is able to walk around a lot and that means I’m basically stuck behind a wall, and I’ve already paid money for the full game. 

What’s worse, is that if anyone who was wheel chaired wanted to read this, they too, would be stuck. I don’t think it’s a bad addition to the game, but maybe have a setting that will change the story depending on if you can walk or not? 

Other than that, it seems like a wonderfully interesting game!

### 5/5 — Love the story but no dark mode?

*2025-12-08, version 1.16*

Maybe I’m just not finding the right settings on my iphone, but I can’t find a way to make this app dark or have a black background. I have changed my system settings and checked the apps internal settings but all I can change in the language. Photos are a bit misleading is this is the case.

EDIT: Just turn the page!!!😉

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2025-11-17, version 1.16*

This game is awesome! The ways we interact and solve puzzles were really fun and clever! I’ve recommended it to all my friends and I hope to see more games like this in the future!

### 5/5 — Woah !

*2025-11-12, version 1.16*

Super cool book & immersive ! You won’t regret the read ! Best with AirPods and noise cancellation on!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-11-05, version 1.16*

I’ve never seen another game like this and honestly I hope there’s more. It’s been a long while since I played this game but I always think back to it. It’s an amazing experience and a good read. You’ll make no mistake downloading this book

### 5/5 — So Cool!

*2025-10-04, version 1.16*

Didn’t hesitate to buy this and I can’t stop reading!

### 5/5 — Buy the full version! $5

*2025-09-28, version 1.16*

This game is literally reminding me why I loved reading as a kid. No joke I’m tearing up writing this right now, my inner child is so thrilled. The imagination and creativity is genuinely brilliant. If you’re looking for an interesting, captivating game you’ve found it. And it’s only $5.

### 5/5 — One of the best mobile games I have played in years!

*2025-09-22, version 1.16*

I know I am late in playing this game, but it randomly popped up in the App Store and I was like “Why not?” And I was immediately immersed! Part of me really wishes Michael were real and that the whole story was real, that’s how amazing it was! Thank you for this game, I truly enjoyed it!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — hooks ya then asks for $$

*2025-08-23, version 1.16*

15 mins in and have to pay 5 dollars to continue. Angry.

### 1/5 — Could not turn pages

*2025-08-23, version 1.16*

Could not turn pages

### 1/5 — No sound control=no play.

*2025-02-03, version 1.16*

You don’t have to let me listen to other audio while playing your game, and I don’t have to play your game while listening to my audio. I’ll be enjoying my other content instead of playing.

### 1/5 — Paying???

*2024-10-24, version 1.16*

How are you making me pay £5 to continue reading? It was good. I’m not gonna spend that much money make it free or make a version that’s free because that is just not good enough.

### 1/5 — A bunch of nothingness

*2024-07-10, version 1.16*

A total waste of time.

### 1/5 — Disingenuous

*2024-03-13, version 1.16*

Yeah. Imagine just get started then immediately getting wacked with having to pay to continue. Not even subtle. It’s an interestingly different type of conceptual game but not so that I want to pay to continue so early on. Byeeeee

### 1/5 — Confused

*2024-03-01, version 1.16*

Why did the book offer me a price of $4.99 for the full version - and then charge me $9.99?

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2024-02-02, version 1.16*

Couldn’t get the interactive bits to work. Followed the directions on pg 2 with no results. Assumed it was me. Googled it. The response said to do exactly what I was trying to do. No success. Seems a tad pointless if it doesn’t work but what do I know?

### 1/5 — Как оплатить из России ?

*2023-06-26*

Ставлю пока одну звезду , я согласна заплатить 349р , но только как ??? Пришлите хотя бы ссылку на оплату или как нибудь еще (

### 1/5 — игра платная

*2022-10-11, version 1.16*

не вижу в этом проблемы, когда игра изначально платная, а не когда нагло пропихивают прописку посреди игры

### 5/5 — That was so cool

*2026-08-17, version 1.20*

Interactive. Intelligent. Interesting! It was an art piece. Make more! I loved this so much

### 5/5 — Best game I’ve ever played!!!

*2026-08-12, version 1.20*

This game was so interactive and fun! I’m a reader myself and I loved how Maginary kind of brought the pages to life! I’m literally PRAYING that another game like this or a sequel to this one is made soon, I enjoyed it so much!

### 5/5 — Я в приятном шоке

*2026-07-16, version 1.20*

Вау! Это супер! Это не просто текстовый квест, это игра с буквами, образами и воображением. Это иммерсивный спектакль в твоем телефоне и ты практически главный персонаж. Такие новые впечатления я не получала ниоткуда. Конечно, 5 звезд! Запомню эти впечатления на долго. Спасибо!

### 5/5 — fun

*2026-06-17, version 1.20*

worth the cost for the fun of the story

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-05-22, version 1.20*

So originally I considered doing 4 stars because of the pay to play aspect, but this was the most fun I’ve ever had. To be honest, I’m sad it ended, I wish there was more to play, but every story has to come to an end eventually, like a good book. I played it all at once too. 

I adore the interactive aspect to the game, even if sometimes it was confusing. Just made it more of a challenge. Definitely something to do on your own, unless you’re okay with looking ridiculous in front of people, I felt ridiculous at sometimes, but it made it more fun and at least I did alone, so it wasn’t too embarrassing. 

Despite the limited time you get to sit with Micheal, I adored his character and felt a small connection with the character at the end and throughout. 

Wonderful! Totally would recommend for anyone looking to make their games more interactive or engaging in general. 
I’m not usually one to write reviews, and I rarely rate things, so doing this is kind of a sign I enjoyed it enough to spread the word.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-05-21, version 1.20*

Really puts you there in the book in the moment without even realizing it.  In the end it shows you just how special YOU are n rather cool too!! Definitely recommend it

### 5/5 — AWESOME!!!
