True CYOA????

The Cons= I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong but I Geel that my Experience was Completely Different from all, of the other Reviews for this App. Because I Really Hope that all of the Ultra Positive Reviews are Paid and or Fake.

And hare’s why to start off I just Feel that I wasn’t making any Difference at all, no matter what choice I picked. The Only Difference that I could Detect was just a Change in Paragraph or a Sentence, but Every Other Line and Paragraph was the same. Which was a Big Killer for me as it just makes it Feel Like it’s Trying To Mimic a CYOA Instead of Actually Being One, which I Truly Hope that’s not the Case as it would’ve Finally Ended My Long Search for a CYOA Story App. The Perfect One may I add? But the Search Goes on at this Point. As I Feel Path ‘B’ is only just Slightly Different from Path ‘A’.

Then the Next Thing that I Personally Not Happy With are The Goals, which was why I wasn’t able to ‘Beat’ the First Story and Move On. As I Feel that it was Impossible for me to Full Fill let alone All of the Goals. After Reading through the First Story Multiple Times I was only able to Full Fill One Goal Not Including the ‘State’ one. And I also wished that there was some way of Making the Background Dark. It’s also a shame that this one Website that Amateur Author could Upload their Stories did Much Better, as I Feel that those Peoples Stories was Much Authentic as far as their, CYOA Stories as Concerned Despite How I Feel about All of their GrammarI Issues on that Site. And That Should Do It For The Cons.

The Pros= But on the Flip Side I Do Admit Grammar Wise it was Perfect. And I thought that the Story was Really Creative, so creative I was starting to get absorbed in to it. And That Should Do It For The Pros.

Final Thoughts= It’s Really too Bad as if it wasn’t for the Goal System and the Fact that My Choices Actually Affects what sort of path I take with in the story. It would’ve been a Definite Keeper Instead of a Delete In Only Just a Few Short Days. And Remember These Are Just My Own Personal Views And Thoughts. Yours Could Be Deferent And I’m Okay With That. And that should do it for now.

Amazing Game RIP Christian

This is an amazing game with wonderful story! Unfortunately the author passed away recently. That said the community and his family will continue the game’s next 2 books. For anyone who who’s curious you can check the reddit :)

Forever One of my Favorite Stories

I first started reading Magium about 5 years ago when he first started releasing the chapters of book 2. And within my first day of reading it, I fell in love. I’ve never read as much of a book consistently as I did Magium. But unfortunately in August of 2024 the author passed away just as he was coming to the conclusion of book 3. I thank you for everything you’ve done and the time you’ve put into this beautiful story Cristian. And I hope wherever you are, you can be content knowing just how much of an effect you’ve had on my life. Thank you :) -A very satisfied reader

The story, the characters, the different options we could choose..etc, this game just had it all. Thank you Cristian for creating this masterpiece; your story will forever remain in my heart.
