Fun dark fantasy / weird fiction
What a gem! Really enjoyed the story, and like the replayability that adds depth without pointless grind.
great writing and excellent replayability
I downloaded this before a long period offline and it didn’t disappoint. I must have replayed it at least two dozen times exploring the new pathways that different choices open up. I’d recommend this for anyone who enjoys text-based branching stories!
Amazing!
I stumbled on this game just randomly browsing yesterday and I just couldn’t put it down! I love how it takes such a simple concept and turns it into something introspective and emotionally impactful. It probably helps that I’m a software developer so a lot of inside jokes related to software development tickled me. But, that humor isn’t entirely required to follow the story and I think anyone could follow the game quite easily. HIGHLY recommend you give it a try :)

Absolutely astonishing storytelling
This game took my breath away. There’s a sense of a fearless imagination behind this that’s amazing and exciting. Can’t wait to see what else she’s working on.
I do not use the word “masterpiece” lightly...
...but there is no other that I can substitute, apart from possibly “genius”.
Phenomenal game
In this text-based RPG, you play as a combination firewall/fire elemental, protecting a few people and places from magical and technological threats. If you're like me, that's enough to try it out, and if you do you won't be disappointed.
It's short-ish and linear, but there are so many things to learn and try it has good replayability. I'm very looking forward to Open Sorcery 2.

This Game Needs to be Bought!
Not only was this game incredibly moving and intuitive, but the game was just straight up fun. Everybody should buy this game. You there! You reading this right now! Buy this game! Do it!
Wonderful Gem
Learned about Open Sorcery at PAX East. If you're a fan of choose your own adventure stories and the thematic content being presented here, you're in for a nice little ride.
Fun game with some save bugs
This game is really fun and has a large variety of different paths one can take, which provides a lot of replay value. However, the save and achievement systems are completely broken. Every time I restart the app, all my saves are missing, and when I try to save on slot 5, it reloads slot 4 instead. Achievements disappear when I restart the app too. When these issues are addressed, this will be a five star game. As it stands, you need to play all the way through in one sitting.

100/10
An absolutely glorious game. Out of all of the games like this I have played, this is definitely in my top three.
One of my favorites
I actually to the time to sit and replayed to get all the ending (which no game ever made me feel like doing that)
10/10
I have never played a game like this before and I have taken a real liking to it. The game has a fun branching story that rewards you for reading and participating in it by giving you more story, level success and overall experience.
Additionally the developer paid attention to issues us iPhone users were having even tho she couldn't recreate the issue herself.
- * & The saving bug is fixed!

Creative Gem!
Just when you start to think the App Store has become a boring morass of freemium clones, along comes a blinding original, brilliant game like Open Sorcery. The setting is fantastically crafted, the characters are compelling and the story is fascinating. The prose ranges from hilarious to philosophical to emotionally riveting while retaining a singular voice. But don't think Open Sorcery isn't interactive - the strategy/gameplay elements work beautifully. Thought provoking, distinctive, amazingly fun...can't recommend it enough!

Wonderful story
I saw Open Sorcery at PAX and marked it on my "play later" list. I wish I'd picked it up sooner! I just stayed up way too late to finish it. Worth every penny.
Utterly captivating
I cannot recommend this enough. The writing is evocative, the story is engrossing, and I couldn't stop thinking about it for days after playing through a couple of times.
This update also fixes the lag that made the 1st version frustrating towards the end, so it's well-deserving of a 5⭐️ rating.

I Am The Fire That Reviews
A fun and enjoyable little adventure with excellent writing and presence. With multiple paths to victory and failure, it's worth it to go through a few replays. Overall it is more than a couple dollars to burn a few hours on. I look forwards to future projects by the devs.
Enjoyable and Unique
Heard about this game from a podcast about how they played it at PAX, so I decided to try it for myself. Far exceeds my expectations. Worth the price.
Loved it
This game is amazing, it moved me to tears. Please make more of this art. Worth the $3 and more.
Fantastic and Unique
Saw this game at PAX West this year and after playing it I just have to say it's simply fantastic. The concept is unique and well implemented, and there's an amazing emotional depth that is quite surprising for a text based game. Very replay-able too! Amazing work.
