It does drag a bit and there are a few unbackstopped plot points, which often lead to a quick end. I recommend playing it set in fast mode. While you lose the “dramatic pauses” (waiting for something to happen), it definitely makes the lag-n-drag not such an issue. Or choose a different Choose Your Own Adventure game. I’d recommend Buried It’s linger but longer with a reason, the plot is more fully developed and doesn’t suddenly hand you an ending out of the blue. ### 4/5 — Great! Hope to see more games! *2017-08-26, version 1.1.2* Enjoyed playing this fast piece. Thank you developers and I cannot wait to see what else you have in store! ### 4/5 — Good *2017-08-07, version 1.1.2* It is a easy fun game except that is takes a while until you can play again because it says "Sam is busy" when he is doing a task. ### 4/5 — Easy, but good *2016-11-14, version 1.1.2* Not only easy, but easy to go back and fix mistakes. Long waits are annoying but not a deal breaker. And you can skip them if you like. Limited replay value, but it's totally free. What's not to love? ### 2/5 — Boring as hell *2016-10-24, version 1.1* Nothing interesting about this game at all. Stupid. You spend more time waiting for the stupid character to do something, then actually playing any kind of game. Lame ### 2/5 — A simple game with 12 endings *2016-10-21, version 1.1* It's a quite simple game normally taking 30 minutes to find your first ending. Unfortunately there is one ending left and I hope it is not a hidden one. ### 2/5 — I agree. Good concept. Poor execution. *2016-08-07, version 1.1* It's kind of a cool game but it draaags on and on taking WAY to long with the pauses. At certain points the person on the other end goes to sleep and there's nothing for you to do. Idk. I play it in the background and just check in every now and then. You would think the developer would want you to move quickly to save this person but it seems just the opposite. ### 2/5 — Good Concept, Poorly Executed *2016-08-06, version 1.1* I really tried to like this game. But between the long pauses and the typos, I just couldn't get into it. Not to mention the nonsensical actions. I think this is a great idea for a game, but I think it could've been done much much better without much more effort. ### 2/5 — Fair story line; not worth a buckk *2016-06-07, version 1.0* The storyline is simple but OK.The app is also perfectly accessible for voiceover users. But, first, completing the game is much too simple for paying one dollar . There are many more better designed text game apps that are free. Also, I don't think that pauses in text game apps or A good idea. When a choice is made, I think it should be implemented immediately without delays. To the developers credit, there is an option to turn off pauses, so I'm happy about that. ### 2/5 — Meh *2016-06-03, version 1.0* If you like The Martian (the IOS game, not the movie) or Lifeline, but you thought "wouldn't this game be better if it was shorter, had fewer choices, a not very interesting story, and was written in poor English?" If so, then you will love this game. I gave it 2 stars, not 1, because it was at least playable, and I did make it through to the end. Oh, and some of the english made me laugh, so there's that. ## Frequently asked questions about Reminiscent ### What is Reminiscent about?
