5 stars

I haven’t bought the full game yet because I’m broke rn but the story so far is very good I like how you can choose different options and get different outcomes and like whoever 10/10 would recommend

Terrible

Actions have no consequences, failure is impossible, and the writing is painful. No matter what you do, you’re really just pressing ‘next’

Loved it

I thought this game was very fun, but a little pricey. $6 is a lot, and Choice of Games should lower the price. But if you love fantasy, the money is definitely worth it. The story line is incredibly enjoyable, and I’m actually playing it for the 5th time and still getting different results. One thing I didn’t like (this will be a spoiler so don’t read on if you haven’t finished the game) was that you couldn’t have a romantic relationship with Lyle/Lily. In the end, he/she always refuses you. I really liked Lyle/Lily and I wish you could end up with her/him. I wish you could end up with Camille too. It’d be cool to see what happened if you chose the “dark one” in the love square. As much as I’m criticizing this game, I did love it and I will recommend it to my friends.

Really fun, awesome story

Even if you’re not into sorcery or stories like that, this app makes it fun and interesting. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great story to fill your time with.

Good not best COG

Really enjoyed the tone (myth inc. or princess bride tongue and cheek). However, was more on rails (or at least the rails were more visible) than my favorite COG titles.

Second play through felt very similar to first despite trying to make different decisions
