Over priced and repetitive
To get a membership it is very expensive. If you don’t, you will dump far more money into energy than into a membership, both being heavily over priced, especially given you have minimal selections for your character, no spells, no attributes, only the skill sets and that’s it. Another thing I find annoying is the fact that sometimes I just don’t know what to say so I choose continue to make the story just pick what happens. Each time you click continue or action, you lose energy. There was a moment when I hit continue three times and AI only repeated itself using different words but still essentially the same thing.
I wish there were more story options where you get to build your character instead of being forced to choose a pre made character. It would also be cool if your items that are selected at the beginning or purchased can be switched between your characters.
Thanks as well for the response from developers.
I added a couple more things to my review I forgot to add. I really appreciate that they take time to read these.

Fair feedback, thank you. Those repeated responses on Continue are usually the lighter, cheaper AI models struggling to move the story forward; switching to a stronger model in the settings helps a lot. On cost, it's free to keep playing daily (we just raised the daily free energy), with the subscription optional. We're also working on reducing low-value repeated turns. Appreciate the detail.

Very fun but…
This is exactly the kind of thing I’ve been looking for. Create your own characters, create your own adventures even, and have an AI run the game world. Multiplayer is great too (just need to wait for that functionality to be available on the website. Some of my friends can’t get the mobile version.). I have only a few nitpicks.
- you’re forced to generate an image for your characters. I’d rather import an image that portrays my characters exactly as I envisioned them.
- You can’t go back and edit a choice after the AI storyteller has responded to it. It’s very awkward when the characters react to your bad grammar.
- There’s no search function for adventures. Ideally, you’d input the title of an adventure that a friend or someone else has made, and a list of search results would come up, hopefully including the one you want to play. Instead, you only have what seems to be just the most frequently played adventures to choose from.
- The energy system is… disappointing. I fully understand that implementing AIs is expensive, but buying energy in a shop is one of the worst microtransactions you can get in a mobile game. Wouldn’t a better system be you can play for free, but only for a specific amount of choices per day until that AI model is locked unless you buy a monthly subscription?
All in all, I’m happy with the game, I’m enjoying my time in it, and there’s only a few things that could be better about it. I’m glad this is getting frequent updates!

Good idea, needs improvement
This is a good concept that I have seen a lot of. However, this game is limited by energy, the currency system. I like that you can get free energy for sharing the game but, there should be more options like ads.
About the gameplay; the game is fun and the AI seems reliable, however there should definitely be more specific class options, a greater variety of races and also, more specific spells and items. The stats system needs replacement because physical is very unbalanced as it takes the role of dexterity as well. Mental is largely unused as mages use spirit for spell casting.
I think there should also be a personality description, to remind the AI what kind of person you are.
Sometimes my energy is wasted as the AI practically repeats the last text it gave, so it’s better value to describe what you do early before the AI gives options.
Overall this is a fun game for an hour until you run out of energy. To earn 5 stars, please consider the guidance I gave.

This is genuinely useful, thank you for the detail. A few are already on our radar: more free energy options like ads, and reducing the repeated-text turns (usually the lighter AI models — a stronger model in settings helps now). The class/race/spell variety, the stats rebalance, and a personality field are all good calls we're noting. Thanks for taking the time to lay it out.
Game mechanics don’t make sense
I’ve been enjoying the game and the story, but I’m having a serious issue with how my character’s attributes are being used during rolls.
My character has a Spirit attribute of 10, but when the game performs a Spirit Check, I’m getting results such as:
- 10 + 4 = 14
- 2 + 6 = 8
- 5 + 5 = 10
My Spirit attribute is still 10, so I don’t understand why different numbers are being used during these Spirit Checks or how my Spirit of 10 is actually being taken into consideration.
This has become especially frustrating because it is causing me to fail important rolls. For example, I recently received 5 + 5 = 10 vs DC 12, resulting in a failure. I have specifically invested my level-up points into Spirit because I want my character to be strong in Spirit-based actions, but when a Spirit Check happens, I cannot tell how my actual Spirit attribute is affecting the result.
I’ve noticed the same confusion with other attributes as well. When I put points into Physical, Mental, Social, Spirit, or Luck, I expect those investments to have a clear and understandable effect when the corresponding attribute is checked.
The biggest issue is that the game does not explain how the displayed attribute number is being used during these rolls. I’m not asking for the game to make every roll successful. Failure is part of the game. However, I should be able to understand why I failed and how the attribute points I’ve invested are affecting my chances.
Please either correct the way attributes are being applied during checks or provide a clear explanation within the game showing exactly how my displayed attribute is being taken into consideration when a roll occurs. Right now, I can see that I have Spirit 10, but when a Spirit Check happens, the numbers shown on the roll do not clearly correspond with that attribute, making character progression feel confusing and unrewarding.

Great, specific feedback, thank you. Here's how it works: each check is a 20-sided die roll (1-20) plus a bonus of half the relevant attribute, so Spirit 10 = +5 on a Spirit check. In "10 + 4," the first number is the random d20 (that's why totals swing so much) and the second is the bonus. You're right that the app doesn't explain this and that half-attribute rounding makes single points feel weak, both things we want to fix. If you're seeing a bonus other than +5 on a true Spirit check, that's worth a look, email neverend@aiapps.games and we'll check your character.
