### 5/5 — PEAK

*2026-07-11, version 1.0.12*

it’s so good

### 5/5 — Hermoso

*2025-09-01, version 1.0.11*

Hace mucho tiempo no jugaba algo que me emocione. Un día tardé en terminarlo, mi novia se enojó pero ¡valió la pena! Felicito a los creadores, fantástico juego, descargando el 2!

### 5/5 — Great story

*2025-05-16, version 1.0.11*

Should’ve been more images to the game so it can be visually interesting…

### 2/5 — Ridiculous ending

*2025-03-23, version 1.0.11*

I enjoyed the story and the choices you’re able to make throughout. However, the ending ruined the whole experience for me. If you fail to qualify in the final tournament, thats it. The whole game ends and you can’t go back without restarting the whole thing. And all it says is “you married Hannah and had 4 children” and thats the entire thing. Hours of playing just for it to end with one sentence. And this would be more acceptable if it felt like you had any sort of control over the outcome. You just have to hope your skills are high enough and you’ll be lucky enough for the game to decide you won each round. Terrible.

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2024-09-23, version 1.0.11*

best most in depth game/book I’ve ever played it has so many different paths and the playtime is great and replayablitiy even better

### 3/5 — Great Story Horrible UI

*2024-07-19, version 1.0.11*

The repetitiveness and unintuitive nature of the selection boxes meant that several times throughout the game k selected options I did not mean to. More specific examples below with spoilers SPOILERS During the section you are traveling around several times I traveled to a location by accident because I was trying to see how long it would take to travel to another place and never mind was not the default option. In my opinion the never mind or no consequences action should be the default. Then I ended the game on accident. The I’m in the middle of the tournament and asked if I want to quit or continue and the FIRST OPTION WAS QUIT! I selected next quickly by accident and that was it end of my whole game just like that. I know they don’t want people going back but you should be able to go back a slide or two max. I might just be bad but I found myself messing up options enough that it was annoying and now I am incredibly unsatisfied with the ending I got. And there is no way for me to go back through the story the same way again.

### 5/5 — Beautiful story and consistent gameplay

*2024-06-29, version 1.0.11*

Chef's kiss

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2024-06-25, version 1.0.11*

### 5/5 — Amazing time killer

*2024-02-08, version 1.0.11*

Played it all day in school for only the first half and finished by the end of the day

### 5/5 — Chokbar of this game

*2024-01-21, version 1.0.11*
