If you prefer not to choose, welcome to the mini-stories, it has 1. ### 1/5 — It’s ok but… *2024-01-05* Using AI art and locking plot defining/changing choices behind paywalls is literally so scummy I’m sorry but I can’t play if I don’t pay or buy neons? I can understand for extra scenes or premium outfit but specifically in one story (behind the veil) if you don’t choose a certain dress (which costs a lot) you can’t move forward with a romance option. Then what’s the point of being a CHOICE based game if I can’t make a choice? Sure they’re ads to get neons and a wheel of fortune but you don’t get as many and the wheel is rigged to land on 1 neon per spin. Also if you’re dark skinned or black you won’t find any representation except for maybe one game. Edit: 01/02/2024 just to emphasize you cannot romance the prince If you don’t buy a premium outfit. Such a choice fundamentally restricts player freedom and it’s one thing to do that and another to lie about it. But from the way you’ve responded I can tell this “game” studio is extremely unprofessional. Hire real artists instead of using AI or are you too cheap for that as well? Edit: 01/04/2024 so the developers posted a screenshot of my review on their Reddit (I know because I’m subscribed to their subreddit and have supported them in the past by purchasing in game currency) perhaps to get validation from their echo chamber. I know the team is small and I’m aware that games need to make money but locking out players from certain paths unless they pay is scummy. I’ll stand by that, sorry you don’t like it. If you want a pay to play model please let us know up front. This just comes across as greed. For a better experience with hardworking talented devs that can draw, aren’t unprofessional, childish and willing to engage in social media smear campaigns because a user expressed their displeasure, I’d recommend romance club! This will be my last update. Post it wherever you like or cry about it online, your choice. But I won’t engage in this embarrassing behavior with you any longer. **Developer response:** So if you do understand payment for extra scenes, why you can’t consider that the premium outfit opens the extra scene with private dance? And yes, you can move forward with romance option in free way, don’t confuse readers. As for the dark skinned type of MC it’s just impossible for aristocrats of Ancient Greece, this is history, not our idea. We have 3 stories, and 2 of them have dark skin MS. Add: readers have a lot of opportunity to built relationships with Şehzade before and after that scene. And no, we are not cheep, we are super cheep, because a game developed by 4 volunteers. Sure we will hire expensive professionals for A-quality design as soon as we have opportunity to pay. Much appreciate your advice) Part3) as you can read the post, you also may notice I said no one bad word about your review))) I ask readers their opinions and what we can improve) I don’t know why you keep insulting me and my work, hope you can enjoy at least that, if not the game. We have different point of view and it’s ok. I explained why we can’t change the graphics for now and that you still can keep the romance path without premium scenes. Also thank you for support, you can make a refund in AppStore, if it’s too late, send me PM. Have a good day! ### 1/5 — It’s ok but… *2024-01-03* Using AI art and locking plot defining/changing choices behind paywalls is literally so scummy I’m sorry but I can’t play if I don’t pay or buy neons?

Much appreciate your advice) ### 2/5 — Something wrong with the loading?? *2024-09-12* When I try to start reading a story, it starts loading saying clearing memory then it freezes and never loads. Is it my phone? **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for you feedback. We are working on this problem and will fix it ASAP. Sorry for temporary inconvenience 🦋 ### 2/5 — It’s ok but… *2024-01-01* Using AI art and locking plot defining/changing choices behind paywalls is literally so scummy I’m sorry but I can’t play if I don’t pay or buy neons?

There are choices that cost like 100 neons and it’s cost $5 for 50. That’s $10 for one choice, that’s absolutely insane! ### 4/5 — Який приклад дає гра? *2023-07-17* Будь ласка, перевірте сюжети історій. Неприємно вразила згадка нашатирного спирту і представлення цієї опції як правильного сценарію для допомоги непритомній людині. Я розумію, що це лише гра. Та люди можуть помилково вважати це правдивою та актуальною інформацією. І ми маємо розуміти відповідальність у таких ситуаціях. Вже відомий випадок коли завдяки схожій грі реальній людині була надана правильна домедична допомога і це допомогло врятувати життя. Бажаю вам розвитку і вдосконалення! **Developer response:** Дякуємо за ваш відгук. Нашатирний спирт, він же аміак, а точніше його пари - широко застосовувалися і продовжують використаними в практиці долікарської допомоги. Замість Розчину аміаку (10%) можна використовувати міцні парфуми, одеколон, у деяких країнах використовують нюхальну сіль. Підносити тканину змочену в розчині можна за 15-20 см від обличчя. На цьому було наголошено в історії. Інакше можна обпекти слизову. У нашій історії, перед тим, як героїня попросила нашатир, вона перевірила та звільнила органи дихання, а "постраждала" була в горизонтальному положенні. Наша героїня не медик і діє так, як діяла б звичайна людина. І ці маніпуляції НЕ нашкодять у реальному житті. Відкривши Вікіпедію чи будь-які інші сайти та довідники НЕ медичної чи долікарської допомоги - ви з легкістю знайдете цю інформацію. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-07-23* One of the most amazing games out there! One issue I am having is the game closing each time I attempt to play a particular chapter. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your feedback ❤️ In order to fix this problem, please try to: - clear the cache in the Setting tab - remove and install the game. Your progress will be saved. - make sure the internet connection is stable and fast enough - make sure your device has no less than 4GB of RAM. Usually this problem appears if device’s RAM is 2-3GB. We can’t help here, unfortunately. ### 5/5 — Choices actually matter *2023-12-10* Absolutely amazing! What makes Neo Stories far superior then other games of its kind, is not only the amazing stories which are well written and immersive, but also the ability to make decisions that will have consequences that continually affect the storyline throughout. Most of the other interactive novel games claim to be interactive and choice based, but in fact, the choices have no consequences and they do not affect the story in anyway. ### 5/5 — Best story *2023-10-26* The stories are great. All in so purchase errors were immediately corrected and I was satisfied. Keep up the good work. **Developer response:** Please contact us via contact form in game settings. We will resolve problem ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Credits not received *2023-10-11* I have made 12 in app purchases. The game times out and I never receive the credit but the charges are on my account. Money never refunded **Developer response:** Please contact us via contact form in game settings. We will resolve problem ### 5/5 — 💘 *2023-05-01, version 1.0* Love this! 💕 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
