I’m not exaggerating. Before you can even start playing you have to watch five ads. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-05-26, version 2.0* lol who stars their game with 6 ads?? Players don’t even get an insight of the story first?? This game if you can even call it that is trash. Literally right off the bat asks you to pay doesn’t even let you get a whiff of what you’re paying for before hand. ### 1/5 — Dont waste time downloading *2022-04-07, version 1.3.5* You can’t actually play the game without spending any money. I did not but I’m assuming that you need to spend quite a fortune to play this game successfully. Deleted after 1 day. ### 1/5 — Do waste your time or money *2022-03-11, version 1.3.5* As of now 1 star. I paid 4.99 for the season pass. Then first choice I make they want me top up coins and I’m stuck on that page. Won’t let me get back to game. Waste of money!!!! Also app wouldn’t even allow me to “contact” developer to demand my 4.99 monthly fee back since I got to play the game an entire 15 minutes before I had to delete because I’m not rich. This is a scam. Do not download it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Money pit *2024-05-29, version 4.1.2* Within 10 interactions (me touching the screen to read more), I had one ad pop up, then ask to pay 50$ (which is roughly 75$ in my currency) to avoid said app and other advantages (or watch 5 ads to remove the screen), had paid to get tickets to make a basic choice. 5 more interactions later, I had to pay for more diamonds (around 12$ in my currency for 40 diamonds). At first I didn’t mind paying since I thought these choices wouldn’t appear that often and the diamond amount needed would stay low. 2 or 3 choices later, I was proposed choices that cost 250 diamonds, then 400 and 300. Choosing the free choices put the MC in somewhat a depressing state and story doesn’t really advance. You do the math. In about 20 times I touched the screen, I have been asked to pay about 350$ (of course I didn’t do it, but wow). Be warned that there is no trial for the 50$ (which I thought it would be like in most app of these genre and on AppStore). I will ask to be reimbursed since I played about 3 min. To add to that, the story is bad written. In those few minutes and “click”, MC had found out her BF cheated with her work friend, went to a resort, moved on, worked (and had problems at work), was either depressed about dating so many pple or still hopeful and had a big party to attend to. ETA: there is no way this is a 4.3 star apps and the issue being supposedly fixed in a previous answer isn’t 1 yr after the comment, as you can see ### 1/5 — Smh *2023-05-22, version 3.1* Adds adds adds the developers clearly only care about downloads. At a certain point you can’t continue without paying for money. It’s just sad, I actually like the story a bit…Deleting app 🙂 ### 1/5 — please don’t gets this game *2023-05-06, version 3.1* 1 it’s bad 2 all adds 3 its a scam 4thats all ### 1/5 — Awful. *2023-04-03, version 3.1* Before I even started game, I either had to watch 5 adds or pay. As if I was gonna waste any money on this game. Now I could understand if it was 1 or maybe 2, but 5 was just not okay. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Ads *2023-02-28* Ridiculous amount of ads **Developer response:** understand your concern about the number of ads in the game. We strive to provide a free gaming experience and ads help support this, but we also offer options to reduce or remove ads through subscriptions. Additionally, we have been working on improvements, including adjusting the ad timers, to make the game more enjoyable. Your feedback is important to us, and we appreciate your understanding. 🎮 ### 1/5 — SCAM *2022-09-24, version 2.0.7* this app is a scam. i tried to do the “watch 4 ads” so you can get it for free. i watched all the ads, and it gave me more. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS ### 1/5 — 5 ads before you can start playing *2022-08-12, version 2.0.2* I was looking forward to trying this game. I pressed one button and had an ad come up immediately which was fine. But the next screen said that I either had to watch 4 ads, wait 45 minutes or pay a weekly or monthly plan just to start playing the game. No thanks. At least let me try the game a little bit before doing this. ### 1/5 — deleted immediately *2022-07-09, version 2.0.2* i never write reviews but this game is something else lol. immediately upon opening the game you get to click on literally 1 choice and then you have to watch 6 ads to move on. i don’t even know what the story is about, deleted immediately. ### 1/5 — terrible *2022-07-01, version 2.0.2* i couldn’t even play the game because it kept asking me to watch ads after every ad i watched ### 1/5 — Why? *2022-06-27, version 2.0.2* The minute I open the game it tells me I have to wait 40 something minutes to unlock the rest ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hand *2025-04-11, version 4.1.2* I like the story it’s interesting and it seem happened my friend. ### 5/5 — Jenkins *2025-02-07, version 4.1.2* I played through every option ### 5/5 — 999 *2025-02-06, version 4.1.2* Love story ### 5/5 — Alan *2025-02-06, version 4.1.2* Realitic story ### 5/5 — Duzh *2025-01-23, version 4.1.2* good story ### 2/5 — Booo *2024-06-08, version 4.1.2* Add add adds money monthly to your death don’t waste your time on this nonsense:/ ### 2/5 — Money hungry *2022-07-15, version 2.0.2* This game does not give up enough money to start with so you have to make a purchase --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
