However, I enjoyed it I guess... ### 3/5 — Ok *2013-07-31* It's decent just a fair bit of language ### 3/5 — Good story, less game *2012-06-20* More of a story and less if a game. For a game written in choicescript, the choices you make are pretty irrelevant. The story was good, but I was disappointed that me, the gamer, had very little influence on it. The coder really took some shortcuts here, and it shows. This is the kind of game that takes an hour to write the story, and five minutes to code it. In short, this is the kind of ChoiceScript game most coders like myself make for fun, but the author here felt some need to put it on the App Store, which of course he really didn't need to. ### 4/5 — Enjoyable *2012-01-15* It was extremely well written but I would've preferred it if there was a little more choice and I felt a little restricted sometimes. However it was quite enjoyable. ### 3/5 — Eg... *2012-01-13* Not as good nor long as others. ### 3/5 — Not as hard-hitting as it intended *2011-12-08* This story/game seemed like it wanted to present a series of shocking and difficult decisions. Unfortunately, that's all it was. The vignettes didn't seem very related, and none of them had the intended impact. The characters were generic and uninteresting, and we were told too much, shown too little about our relationships. The prose is generally solid, and the game ties together neatly and reflects your choices. It just didn't live up to its premise. ### 4/5 — Awesome!!!! *2011-12-06* This app is great! It has a good storyline, so great I wish it was longer It is way to short :( waiting for more ### 4/5 — Short, but good *2011-12-01* I enjoyed this story. I did feel a little restricted in some of the situations but the writing was good and I had to thin about each decision. It lived up to it's name! Only downside was that it could have been a longer story. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — very very short with no real meaning *2014-10-21* its honestly not worth the download. ### 1/5 — Boring *2013-02-08* Boring and only two choices matter throughout the whole game making the rest of it pointless. Don't get only good for one play through to see the relevant choices ### 1/5 — Totally pointless *2013-02-07* After playing this "game" my biggest dilemma was whether to warn others or just decide that I had already wasted too much time on this. It's a text game where you pick one of two choices of how you would respond to increasingly farfetched situations. At the end there is a little epilogue that briefly tells you what happens to some characters. That's it. God only knows what the upgrade contains. Do yourself a favor. If faced with the dilemma of whether or not to download this I think you know the choice I'd recommend. Zero stars is too good for this. ### 1/5 — Woeful *2011-12-24* Predictable, banal; almost made me grateful for TV commercials. Don't get this, you'll lose the will to live playing it. ### 2/5 — Boring *2024-07-07* Good concept bad execution. There’s to much writing. To me it’s very boring ### 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. ### 2/5 — It's okay. *2012-02-13* Not as good as the other ones. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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!! ### 5/5 — Really good *2014-08-02* Please make more games like this! ### 5/5 — Really good *2013-05-28* Definitely worth playing! Really good story, and well written. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2011-12-03* Choice of games is amazing. Great depth in your actions. ### 4/5 — Short *2016-03-07* Short but good ### 4/5 — Good *2013-08-17* The only complaint I have is the lack of moral choices! Everything else was great, but I felt like it was more of a regular story rather than an interactive story. It is difficult to do though as the player is not in direct control of the character. Still, a good game! ### 4/5 — Short but great *2013-06-03* Its short but a great story! ### 4/5 — Short *2013-04-07* It's short, but well written and free ### 4/5 — Great *2013-04-04* Don't listen the other review. This game is great. It's a little short, but if you do one thing, another will happen! ### 4/5 — Very good *2012-12-07* Very well done and well written game. I really enjoy morality games/stories and Choice of Games execute them brilliantly. If I had to say one bad thing about the game, it's a little short, however, it makes up for it with the different story paths and results. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
