Eh

The story wasn’t horrible. But I finished it in 10 minutes with really no alternate endings. Don’t pay money to remove the ads it’s a waste of money. No replay value just a short quick fix.

Quick and Well Written

This was a nice little story that required some minor thought before choosing an action. The writing was well done and the idea was unique. It's good for a quick fix. I would have loved to see it more in depth and expanded to allow for more complicated decision making, but I still enjoyed it.

Way too short

Not much to this "maze." I was done in about an hour and I'm pretty sure there are no alternate endings. Writing is not bad but this needs more content.

Total Waste of Time

One of the least satisfying games I have ever played. Additionally, it combines two of my pet peeves. One, grammatically precise writing instead of good writing. Two, an author who thinks he's (she's? really, who cares so long as I'm not obligated to read more) profound.

Kill your darlings, darling. Kill your darlings.

Like other reviewers, I find it deeply dissatisfying that I am obligated to play this game as a heterosexual male, even though I am male. Choice of Games does such a wonderful job of avoiding this in many of their games; it really should be a mandatory quality of any product they produce so those of us who care can know what we're getting.

Short
