You are an excellent author and this entire game is incredible. Though Telltale games may have been interlinking books and video games, you are truly pioneering the literary future. One thing I suggest is that you attempt to make the game more first person by removing things such as 'Good Choice!', but other than that this was an interesting and profoundly enjoyable game. This is perfect for people who love Lore and Books. Thank you for allowing me to experience this game. ### 1/5 — Awful *2014-06-02* This "game" is so boring. I would describe it as a badly written story which barely changes regardless of which road you take. I "played" this 3 times in an attempt to squeeze some fun out of it and failed to do so. Not worth downloading. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2014-05-24* This game seemed as off it was always leading to something but never getting to the point, and as soon as I thought something was going to happen the games over. There weren't enough choices it just wasn't good lol ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-05-23* Great game! Really enjoyed this. Lots of different outcomes. Hours of fun for less than two bucks! ### 3/5 — Ehh *2014-05-22* It was alright..ill play it again. And again to see if anything changes..but it's not as fun as other stories like this ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2014-05-21* I often play Choice of Games but lately I've been playing Hosted Games like Zombie Exodus. I have no problem supporting the little guy and in fact prefer it. But I find myself agreeing with other negative reviews. I played the game through once and this was all true: 1) lack of meaningful decisions. I pursued investigating the possible crime the entire time. Not only did I not find anything, the game basically told me I wasted my time. 2) poor editing. It was well written most of the time, but lots of spaces before punctuation. Also there were a lot of really strange thoughts, like "Enough about that" and "Spaceships aren't your friend." 3) nothing happens. I basically fade into obscurity at the end. Sorry for ruining the ending. 4) meaningless stats. I got my enlightened up to 80%, and then after five years passes everything is down to 35% or less. HOW? I didn't make any decisions, mostly just hit "next" and read this short novel. So yeah, it was really long and tried to be in depth, but it was basically an interactive fiction. If there were other endings it must have been through a few very discreet options. I found no relationships with any other characters and felt like I died alone. Ah well. ### 5/5 — Cool concept game *2014-05-20* This game had an engaging narrative which involved me and forced me to think and ponder some interesting questions in a sci-fi setting with ethical/moral as well as practical implications. Fun stuff! ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2014-05-20* Really really good. I'm not sure the people criticizing it even played the game. Comments about choices not having any impact or storylines that aren't interesting simply don't reflect the game as it actually is. This is a smart, well-written game that rewards players who pay attention. ### 5/5 — A great sci-fi adventure! *2014-05-19* If you enjoy choose your adventure games, you will love it! ### 5/5 — A great story and a fun adventure! *2014-05-19* This reminded me of the "choose your own adventure" books I loved growing up, but with better writing. Loved it! ## Frequently asked questions about Planetary Quarantine ### What is Planetary Quarantine about? Planetary Quarantine is an interactive fiction game where you play as a quarantine agent.
