### 2/5 — AI text generation

*2026-08-23, version 1.4*

I enjoyed the first 20 mins of this even if it felt a bit like I was reading AI generated text. The UI is good, with solid dice animations and a nice little tracker when you increase standing with a NPC. 

What got insanely annoying (after paying £15 ) was the next extremely long part where it just felt like slop. It felt like I was in a semi-loop that the AI didn’t want to progress and seemed to have its own idea on the outcome it wanted and despite me succeeding in dice rolls way above the odds, it just really wanted a bad guy NPC to escape, forcing me to keep tying him up or telling others they needed to as he was once again wriggling free about 12 times. 

There is no story ark. It’s a meandering and insanely drawn out in places nothing burger. Like someone telling you their dream. The AI is a hollow illusion of a DM or storyteller, saying the right sounding words but without any genuine meat to the writing. Disappointing

### 3/5 — Hard to rate

*2026-08-22, version 1.4*

Pretty decent game but literally everything has a paywall. Devs are money hungry but if you don’t mind paying, it’s a good game

### 2/5 — Could be Great

*2026-08-20, version 1.4*

This game had great potential, and is one of the best uses of Ai In games I have seen. 

The problem is it is not worth the money. I would pay a lifetime subscription, or even a plan that allows infinite uses, but the pricing is excessive. 5$ for 50 rounds isn’t a lot, in my first free 10 rounds, I didn’t even leave the building I started. 

The rest of the plans are monthly subscriptions for a finite amount of rounds, which will rather cut you short or require recharges quite a lot.

I’d rather watch 1-3 adds whenever I log in and be able to play the proper game for free.

Overall, if you have the money to burn, this game will be fantastic, but if you don’t, this game isn’t worth the cost.

### 3/5 — Not a free game

*2026-08-20, version 1.4*

Paid subscriptions options to continue after initial 10 choices, prices aren’t what they say they are, become more expensive in the payment processing part.

That said, it is a pretty detailed game and seems a lot of effort put into it, if you don’t mind the monthly subscription it’s not a bad game.

### 3/5 — AI can’t keep story on track

*2026-08-15, version 1.4*

Was having a lot of fun at first with a campaign, but after 70 plus rounds the AI couldn’t keep track of the story it was providing. Tried to remind it a-couple of times of previous information/story it gave earlier in the campaign but didn’t work got, so frustrated and quite due to hours wasted on story build up and now have 40 extra rounds un-usable.

### 3/5 — Just started today

*2026-08-14, version 1.4*

I’ve tried other media’s like this but so far I like the direction and the story telling so far is great not too detailed but just enough for it be very interesting I gave 3 stars simply cause I’m new but it’s a great start and has all the potential to be 5 stars simply cause of the details so far I’m not sure how immersive this is yet

### 2/5 — Assumptive AI

*2026-08-13, version 1.4*

Unfortunately Greg’s Tavern uses an LLM that assumes far too much and tries to force the player into situations. Additionally the pricing model is insane - plenty of others I’d recommend. 

The app is fairly intuitive and those looking for a story that progresses without your input would be well placed here.

### 3/5 — Fun but not

*2026-08-13, version 1.4*

It’s fun but it only gives you a limited amount before telling you to either pay five dollars for 50 more rounds or the cheapest subscription is 14.99 per month for 200 rounds per month

### 2/5 — Pretty good so far

*2026-08-12, version 1.4*

Last time I played a game like this I ran into a pay wall. I’m only about ten min in so I’ll update this if that happens but so far it’s pretty enjoyable, 


Update, hit the pay wall, was fun while it lasted

### 2/5 — Price point

*2026-08-10, version 1.3*

The stories seem great, the dice mechanic is awesome, and the stats, weapons and spells being made on the fly is great. I can treat it just like 5e or I can just tell a story. Issue is this is a subscription game in 2026. I’d rather just pay a flat amount or be able to play with ads, but I ran thru all of my rounds in 10 minutes. Now I have to find something else

### 3/5 — Start over

*2026-08-08, version 1.3*

Seems good so far but I figure out how to start over/restart the game with a different character.

### 4/5 — It has a lot of potential

*2026-08-07, version 1.3*

The game is a fantastic idea for a fun use of AI (which I’m normally not a fan of) I have a lot of fun and enjoy the campaigns I run through. However the game can be very inconsistent with both characters and the story, consistently changing characters and not being consistent with where characters are in a room or just randomly shoving an uninvolved character into a conversation randomly.

### 3/5 — Well done, but…

*2026-08-02, version 1.3*

Absolutely well constructed and visually easy on the eyes. The cost is too high. I’m willing to pay a few bucks a month, but the payment model is just too high. I’d rather watch an ad every ten turns tbh.

### 2/5 — Non-lethal method? also reputation

*2026-07-28, version 1.3*

Enemies keep popping up that are “enemies” that have to be dealt with to move the plot along. The issue is that when they are captured, no matter how “shackled” they are, no matter how “broken” their bodies, no matter how “disarmed” they are or how far behind I leave them , the narrator keeps making them attack me and chip at my health until they die. Then every NPC hates me because the enemy died. On that note we need ways to make NPC’s happy, because anything I do to move the plot along turns some NPC I’m working with to “vengeful” and whenever I make them trust me more is just a happy accident. And one more thing: I picked up vambraces and a helmet that are categorized as “chest.” How am I to fill out my character’s equipment when all of the armor can only be worn on my chest? Also, Boons don’t work at all after the first two. I click on them when I level up and the boons just don’t apply.

### 2/5 — Over Priced

*2026-07-27, version 1.3*

The game is great… However, 15 Rounds gives you an hour play time. Then you are locked out behind a pay wall. $15 a month to be limited to 200 Rounds per month, which is 13 hours play time a month. Why would i pay that money to be allowed a certain amount of play time per month? Simply put, I wouldn’t and I wont, it’s ridiculous. In my opinion it should be a one time payment of $10 to purchase the game which gets you 13hrs a month standard with no subscription, then if you want more playtime you can subscribe for more playtime. Change the prices or at least increase the amount of playtime. I will keep it installed until i see this change. If it doesn’t change, I’m uninstalling it.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-25, version 1.4*

Spent $9.99 to spend two hours of real time getting interviewed by a guard about nothing and the ai couldnt keep its own story straight because i rolled a 1 on the first roll of the game, it was an investigation check

### 1/5 — It’s a scam

*2026-08-23, version 1.4*

This game baits you with 10 rounds in game and after that you have to pay to continue playing there isn’t a way to play without paying so unless you don’t mind paying for rounds of AI slop I don’t recommend playing this game.

### 1/5 — Ai game charging this??

*2026-08-22, version 1.4*

Ai game that charges this much money for limited playtime? Pathetic honestly

### 1/5 — Repetitive Story and Retracing

*2026-08-12, version 1.4*

There’s still a lot of work needing to be done. The AI makes you go on an endless repetitive story loop. If you follow along with its story, itll eventually reach a point in your story where it gets you to repeat the quest that you haven’t even finished yet. The subscription is not worth the cost. You’ll burn through the messages very easily with this format.

### 1/5 — Not worth the price

*2026-08-01, version 1.3*

During play the AI will freeze and you have to refresh the app. Very frustrating when you just typed a long drawn out message. Furthermore why am I paying so much to roll constant Nat 1’s. I can do that with my friends for free

### 1/5 — Price point to gameplay

*2026-07-21, version 1.3*

Terrible price point. Costs around 15$ a months for “200 rounds” which a singular text dialog typed is a round. You can go through it quite quickly. An old text adventure could do in place of in my opinion. Find a cheaper alternative.

### 1/5 — Pretty glaring issue

*2026-07-16, version 1.3*

When the ai doesn’t consider anything the player inputs it kind of ruins the experience you try to find a story where it actually works with the character you make and it doesn’t and when you express your lack of enjoyment nothing changes which I get bad rolls that’s whatever but if none of the stories actually allow you freedom what’s the point

### 1/5 — Waste if time

*2026-07-16, version 1.3*

Unless you plan on spending hundreds of dollars dont play

### 1/5 — Good game but…

*2026-07-15, version 1.3*

Downloaded from an add from Facebook thinking it was just a free game. Thought it was a great game for the first 10/15 minutes until boom! Paywall to even play the game with it being either a one off payment of £5 for 50 rounds (which is one turn!) or £15 a month for 200 rounds! WTF! No wonder it’s advertised all over Facebook straight greed! Why not just pay £10 for the game and unlimited play instead? How this has 5 star reviews I don’t know, possibly because they ask you to write a review 1 turn before the demo ends.

### 1/5 — Game easily confuses itself.

*2026-07-13, version 1.3*

Typical AI garbage. It’s fun at first, but then it loses all details of  your story, and jumbles them together. It gets incredibly frustrating very quickly. Not worth the money at all.

### 5/5 — Solid game

*2026-08-24, version 1.4*

fun to play good response time and not too sloppy

### 5/5 — WHAT A GEM!

*2026-08-16, version 1.4*

I have only just started and it is amazing so far as long as it keeps going like this I’m going to be on this more than my Xbox. It’s hooked me in with great storytelling and options, and the fact you can say anything you like too big plus! Well done I can’t wait to get back to playing.

### 5/5 — Interesting

*2026-08-15, version 1.4*

Worth a try

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2026-08-14, version 1.4*

There are lots of really unique features that let you make each story special. My favorite is how if you pull off a spell it’ll be automatically named and added to your spell book. I hope a future update lets us add spells we’ve already discovered in other characters so I can make a supermage!

### 5/5 — Sweet!

*2026-08-11, version 1.3*

Pretty neat app. Actually fun to play with and go on an adventure with.

### 5/5 — Don’t got time

*2026-08-10, version 1.3*

Very refreshing can continue your campaign when ever you want a great past time

### 5/5 — It’s pretty fun

*2026-08-09, version 1.3*

Some typical Ai foibles but solid and fun

### 5/5 — Seems promising

*2026-08-08, version 1.3*

This looks like it’s what I’ve been looking for.

### 5/5 — Best D&D Inspired game

*2026-08-05, version 1.3*

First off, I didn’t like that I had to keep it pg 13. I will say it’s better than most text rpg games. I’m rolling dice and it gives multiple choices with an option to make your own decision. No music or sound so far but you don’t need sound to read. I just started but this is the kind of game I have been looking for a very long time.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-07-29, version 1.3*

Great
