### 2/5 — Boring

*2024-07-07*

Good concept bad execution. There’s to much writing. To me it’s very boring

### 1/5 — Incompatible with iOS 11

*2017-10-04*

Needs update for iOS 11. This 32-bit app won't run after iOS 11 is installed, and as it's a fun game, I'd hate to lose it for no reason.

### 1/5 — Poor Writing

*2016-08-09*

This story somehow manages to be both mundane and absurd at the same time. The narrator speaks in the same manner when he is in a hostage situation as when he is having a cup of coffee, and in the ending I got I went to prison because I couldn't afford a lawyer... WHEN NOT TEN MINUTES AGO I HAD JUST MADE THE DECISION TO TAKE TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM A RANDOM WALLET I FOUND. WOOOOOOWWWWW 10/10

### 4/5 — Short

*2016-03-07*

Short but good

### 1/5 — very very short with no real meaning

*2014-10-21*

its honestly not worth the download.

### 5/5 — Great for Classroom Fun

*2014-10-11*

We played this game in my Honors Ethics & Religion class and it was probably the best class of my entire high school career. A lot of that probably had to do with how we made fun of the bad grammar, different voices, and also the entire class getting way to invested, but it was AWESOME!!

### 3/5 — A little short?

*2014-10-01*

I think that's maybe an understatement. However, I enjoyed it I guess...

### 5/5 — Really good

*2014-08-02*

Please make more games like this!

### 2/5 — Short

*2014-07-17*

Too short.

### 2/5 — Lol

*2013-11-09*

Not impressed.  Sorry to say the text was poorly written and without descriptive detail.  The drug incident was dumb and the story was short.
