Great fun

So far the few I’ve tried are awesome, gets your imagination going. But there’s one I’d like to see made. One where it’s like choice of the dragon but with horses. Maybe have the choice between being a wild stallion or mare, or perhaps a humans view on a wild herd. The possibilities are endless from what I’ve come to see with these little stories so to speak.

AMAZING

It’s 2021, the boring year. I just found this game a week ago and I LOVE IT it is rich in story and truly beautiful. There are so many ways that you can really make to story change. You can be a mean selfish thrall only wanting to have everything for themselves or you can be a kind supportive thrall who’s everyone’s friend. And there are many more options too! You can have many different breeds of gryphon (for those of you who do not know it is just another way to spell griffin) (my favorite is personally the Owl-snow leopard, I named her Snowsong)And for those of you who play this game and love it like me, games from then I would recommend are “Choice of the Dragon” which is free, and a kitsune fox-spirit game (sorry I forgot the name) which is about the same price as this one. Anyways, I’m sorry about the lengthy review, I just felt like there was a lot to say. If you got a bit bored and just skimmed the whole review, here is the short review:
Short review: I highly highly recommend this game to any fantasy lovers. I think it deserves 5 stars.
DOWNSIDES
Just telling you all, this game can be hard, especially because you can just click the wrong thing on accident kind of easily with a new update of swiping to choose.

Again, so sorry for such a lengthy review, I’m not sure if it will even let me post it, but I again, had a lot to say, even if I repeated myself a bit. I hope this helped!

Breathtaking

I luv this game I replay it all the time. (SPOILER ALERT) My fav story was when I had a secretary and cheetah gryphon I named Quickfeather and had a romance with arvo and discovered the cure to dropfeather. Overall great game.

I love this!

First of your games I played and it’s AMAZING! I love it!

First game bought

This is the first game that was bought I love the stories you make but I’m kinda sad that I finished this in such a short time i wish it was longer other than that I love it I’m going to replay it for a while

Meh

Nothing special.

Fun

I really liked it, the weird pronouns were awkward and out of place but the rest of the story was enjoyable.

One of the greatest story's EVER!!!🦅🐣😜❤️

I personally think that this is your best one yet(even though I only did one other-the dragon one, which I think should be longer.)Anyway, I love how you can make friends with the characters in the game(
Eini was my favorite friend!) I also really like your gryphon the most, of course! I think you should make a second one, and at first run you through a quick quiz at the beginning, saying stuff like:"what was your name in our last book?","who was your closest friend?", "what was your gryphon's name?",and "what did you choose to be your goal at the end of the last book?",finally,"what breed of gryphon did you have?"so then that would have a effect on the next part of the story.Anyway, please take my advice and make a "Runt of the litter 2"!❤️🐣🦅😜😝

I loved it!

Great text game!

Excellent

Very well written! The fantasy world is an excellent backdrop, and explores the world of human and griffins well. I've played multiple times, and each time discover more about each of the characters.

One of my issues with other stories released by Choice of Games: the gender you choose for the main character affects the gender of other characters. Since gender does affect how (and what) a character will say, this created some unlikely dialogue. This story avoids that trap: it has well drawn supporting characters who have distinct personalities, no matter the gender of the main character.

I look forward to more stories by this author!

Really Great

I enjoyed this so much. It sucked me in and I couldn't put it down.

Replayable Fun

Runt of the litter, a choose your own path story, is intriguing and hooks you from the start. Unsurprisingly, the story was worth every cent, possessing of great vocabulary, requiring thought and many different many different ways to play. Sadly, I 'failed' the first time but you quickly learn tactics to help get a desirable ending. Advice I have to offer you, loyalty is key for any play through, ruthlessness and compassion are allowed to mingle; the story is long and sometimes a bit of compassion can help you hugely. As expected, an amazing game.

Meh

The story was fair to moderate, but the writer needs to understand that without pictures we are left to imagination. If 50 % of the characters are non gendered and use random non gender pronouns then you have given us little to imagine, it was a big distraction.

Very few people in real life claim to have no gender at all, if you create a low tech society filled with androgynous drones then you should explain why, it needs to make sense somehow so that it is part of the story and not just an unnecessarily jarring disruption in the flow of your story.

Every element of the story should further the story, making a strong presence of sexually androgynous Characters didn't further the story and just smacked of politics.

Like a lot about it but can be frustrating

I am not a fan of losing stats based off of decisions. I can lose a good chunk of the knowledge and charm I have gained just because I made one decision that isn't conducive to it, yet you don't gain stats every knowledge and charm check you succeed.

Fun but a bit awkward

Good concept. Reasonable telling of the story BUT the story makes a few leaps in time that you don't really "feel" as a reader. Simple stat mechanics. A short story BUT it did have some meat for the ending and that's always my number one complaint for choice games. So what would be a 3 star is now a 4 star.

Tense and Rewarding

These stories are always so good.

Not my favorite story game

Playing a young servant who has to decide between being diplomatically submissive or getting lectured by haughty superiors is not a fantasy to get excited about, and it's the role you're stuck in for most of the game.

Strong entry to the COG library

A little abrupt with the ending, but exceptionally written with an original setting and judicious application of common tropes

Too short!

While I thought this was a decent concept, I feel like the author didn't put enough time into it. Playing through the second time made me realize how little you can change the story. I don't expect too much from apps, but being able to change anything other than your stats is not too much to ask.

Not worth it

Finished in an hour with no desire to replay.
