But nonetheless I do really like the game. ### 2/5 — doesn’t work fully. *2023-03-28* i actually spent my own money on this rubbish.. what a joke.. when you get to the paid partnership you click yes, then it goes straight back to the same question so you can’t move forward on the game. i even pay for the monthly thing to carry on playing, it’s an absolute joke! waste of time, don’t play or even spend your own money. ### 2/5 — Ads are everywhere! *2022-11-07, version 2.0.4* They want you to watch 5 ads to progres in the story and some ads just pop out of nowhere ### 1/5 — Greed *2022-07-03, version 2.0.4* Very money hungry game. Options cost money and some don’t even tell you how much, and once you make a choice you can’t go back. So you can only move so far before having to buy more in game money ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2022-06-28, version 2.0.4* Unplayable without spending money just about every choice requires a subscription or more money than you have. ### 1/5 — Trash *2022-05-10* You have no control over the game, everything is already decided for you. ### 1/5 — Greedy *2022-03-27, version 2.0* It’s hard to have fun with this game when most of the time you have to buy something or watch so many adds I know y’all make money off adds but chill 5 adds to skip if not wait 40 minutes or pay 5$ a week to be able to play it’s better to just uninstall or not download at all a wait of time and money. ### 1/5 — Stuck *2022-03-17, version 2.0* Got stuck when I needed to pay $5000 but only had $4000 and wouldn’t let me refuse to pay, just kept being me to the page to spent real money. ### 1/5 — Ads *2022-03-05* Ads ads ads. Deleted ### 1/5 — A pay to play game *2022-03-03, version 2.0* I really enjoyed the game’s concept. It was really good and I was enjoying playing it, even if I had to restart a bunch bc I didn’t spend my coins the way I should’ve and it was either restart or pay to buy coins. I uninstalled it when I got to a point where I was forced to buy coins to continue with the story line. I had quite a few coins banked and it wasn’t that I didn’t have enough like the other times. My character wasn’t forced to pay for anything at that moment. I had just gotten possibly injured and my friend called an ambulance. I wasn’t at the hospital paying for the bill or anything so there was no logical reason it should’ve been making me buy coins. I hit next and the purchase screen popped up rather than the next part of the story. I tried to figure out a bypass, but there’s not one. Others may have worded this a bit more eloquently, but I just wanted to describe my experience. Personally if there was even a 99 cent option I may have bought some coins just to see what happens, but there wasn’t so I’m not. Also I would be willing to watch ads for coins. I had no issue with the watch 5 videos to skip the 45 min wait between chapters. Maybe they'll take our advice and fix it at some point. ### 1/5 — Отстой *2022-02-01* Сплошная реклама, ежесекундные попытки заставить приобрести что-то в приложении. ### 1/5 — Fun game if your rich *2021-12-31, version 1.1.6* Every single choice uses money, it won’t let you continue until you have enough money to do so but once your out, they expect you to pay the lowest price of $5 for $1000 so equal of one choice. They had a lot of potential but just wanted a money grab. ### 3/5 — Waste times and money *2021-12-15, version 1.1.4* the story is too short. ### 1/5 — Customize avatar *2021-12-09, version 1.1.3* I downloaded this game hoping id create an avatar similar to myself but was highly disappointed. Uninstalling. Let me know when you add features that enable me to create my own avatar. ### 1/5 — Just no *2021-12-06* Hate that I have to restart the game and lose all progress after a wrong move. Won’t play anymore. ### 2/5 — Super glitchy. Limited options. *2021-11-20* The game is very glitchy. Don’t buy equipment before you’re prompted because you might get stuck having to buy money to get yourself out of trouble and keep the story going when you can’t afford the available options at the market because you can’t choose equipment already purchased. No option to be a male or female character. Very limited storyline / game options. Game needs a back button so you can go back and change your choices. Game is finished very quick. Developers are on the right track but this game needs a lot more development yet. ### 1/5 — Greed got in the way of potential *2021-11-17, version 1.1.1* I’m not hating on in app purchases for free apps but this definitely takes the cake in most disliked game app. First of all there’s a few other games like this that don’t require you to purchase money with real currency after just a few choices because we’re not given enough money to start with leading us to bankruptcy fast and having no way to continue the story unless we pay. All the waiting as well makes me forget i even have this game in my phone, it gets pretty repetitive and boring. If y’all cared about the user experience more instead of getting your coin maybe this app would have better reviews and we would actually maybe see it with it to purchase in game money. Greed got in the way and it’s consuming the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game is just a stupid cash grab *2025-08-14* Once I actually made some progress I have to wait 45 mins to play or I can pay them or since that defo sounds fun watch 5 ads in a row it’s a stupid cash grab with developers who are incapable of making a good game don’t install it’s not worth your time ### 1/5 — Pay to continue game! *2024-05-10, version 2.0.4* It was getting good until you told me to pay up, I am not paying or waiting 44 minutes just to play a bootleg game of episode when I can just go to episode and read numerous of stories on that app without having to pay anything. Don’t pay for nothing, this game just wants money and that’s all they care about! I hate developers who only make games just for money! 🙄 ### 1/5 — Giltching *2023-11-26, version 2.0.4* Every choice I make I have to close the app and reopen it because when I click a choice it offer some type of sponsorship on my channel I click one it says success I press next and it won’t allow to leave the next screen and continue then I have to close the app reopen it and make the next choice so on and so on ### 1/5 — TOO MANY ADS *2023-08-29, version 2.0.4* This game is unenjoyable because of all the ads. What happened to true game development instead of a revenue grab style app? Waste of time. Uninstalled the game. Shameful that this is what gaming is coming to. We want to PLAY. Not be advertised to constantly! I’d rather pay 4.99 for the game than watch the ads. ### 1/5 — Payant *2023-08-02, version 2.0.4* En plus d’avoir des pubs tout le temps, on doit payer ou attendre 45min après avoir jouer 5min De plus y a aucune personnalisation dh personnage ou du type de vlog proposé Ads all the time, you have to wait 45 min after playing for 5 min. Or you have to play 40€ You can only play one type of character (male) and you can’t chose what kind of vlogging you are doing ### 1/5 — Too many ads! *2023-08-01* Bombarded with ads ### 1/5 — Congratulations *2022-10-23, version 2.0.4* Congratulations. You have earned one star. Additional stars can be bought for with US$ 19.99 each. ### 1/5 — Not Worth It *2022-08-20, version 2.0.4* I enjoyed this game at first like when I published my first video on the app. The when I wanted to publish a second one it was going to make me wait 40 minutes. I personally don’t think that’s worth it. ### 1/5 — all around a bad game *2022-08-13, version 2.0.4* you have to wait an hour to do anything. even after watching ads it doesn’t let you skip. save your time. storyline doesn’t even continue after 3 hours of waiting ### 1/5 — Money grab.exe *2022-07-21, version 2.0.4* Download this if you want to be broke ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Langue *2022-02-23, version 2.0* Y manque la langue française. ### 5/5 — Парвиз *2021-12-09* Игра классная,но побольше заданий и эмоции добавьте пж. ### 5/5 — Been playing for a while *2021-11-20* Been playing for a while and I love it I don’t play it all day or anything but whenever I sit back and relax I play this for 15 -20 mins ### 5/5 — Smh *2021-09-29, version 1.1* The game would be a lot better if the game creators wasn’t so money hungry ### 5/5 — Update *2021-09-27, version 1.1* Update new chapter and Vietnamese language please , i love your game ! ### 5/5 — Please update *2021-08-21* Okay ### 5/5 — I mean the game is pretty good but maybe the robots are trying to attack the game *2021-08-17, version 1.0.8* I love the game ### 5/5 — Very interesting game *2021-06-27, version 1.0.7* I've just started the game, and it looks good so far! Definitely worth a try! ### 4/5 — Ну так *2021-11-02* Ну уж очень быстро проходиться а так прикольно ### 4/5 — Fr? *2021-07-22, version 1.0.8* Bruh, I was really liking this game, but then you have to either pay for a subscription or wait 44 minutes?! Y tho? Other than that the game is pretty good. But Fr --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
