### 5/5 — Love it

*2019-01-03, version 1.0.2*

I really love this story, the best one I’ve ever read. But I wish it could be updated were you can become an officer and further the story.

### 5/5 — Very Fun!

*2018-06-02, version 1.0.1*

This game is so much fun! I really like it. However, I do wish it was longer and the story continued some more.

### 5/5 — Welcome smoke eaters!

*2016-06-14, version 1.0.1*

I had a blast with this game. It was nice to be a hero balancing career, love interests and friendships. Nice work!

### 5/5 — Best by far

*2016-04-19, version 1.0.1*

I'm from a small town dept I have had this game for awhile and fell in love with it I have played several times over and just wish that it would be longer maybe in a future update

### 5/5 — Good

*2016-02-20, version 1.0.1*

Totally agree with other review, wish it was longer but it's a good story.

### 3/5 — You set me up.

*2016-02-15, version 1.0.1*

That whole drunk scene seemed unfair. It was implied that the MC was pretty much sober, especially after choosing not to drink. So when you show up to the fire station and are suspended for being "drunk", it's an annoying dissonance.

### 5/5 — GREAT!

*2015-07-13, version 1.0.1*

Make a realistic interactive soldier story dealing with FAmily/love kids dogs and PTSD Please!

### 5/5 — Fun and surprisingly educational

*2015-06-20, version 1.0.1*

So good. I wish it was longer, or had more installments.

### 5/5 — A military soldier one

*2015-05-25, version 1.0.1*

I love this game it's amazing and all that but I was wondering if you can do the samething with the stress and the family and all but this time as a soldier

### 5/5 — Awesome!!

*2015-04-23, version 1.0.1*

I really enjoyed this and I hope you can create more. It was a little too short but it had amazing detail
