I really like the concept and the story was well-executed. ### 5/5 — Great!! *2015-03-29, version 1.0.1* Really great game. You should make a police version too! ### 5/5 — Great CoG! *2015-03-25, version 1.0.0* Well written and realistic! Would love one about professional firefighters! ### 5/5 — The Volunteer Firefighter *2015-03-20, version 1.0.0* Well written and factually correct, The Volunteer Firefighter had my reminiscing of my early days in the volunteer fire service and was full of fun and excitement all the way to the end. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2015-03-20, version 1.0.0* Game is a lot of fun, puts you into some real life quizzical situations for a question based game it was $2 well spent. Great job ### 5/5 — Fun and informative *2015-03-20, version 1.0.0* A great game with some tough true to life choices that give you a taste of a real volunteer firefighters job and life. Keeps you turning the pages! ### 5/5 — Worth the buy! *2015-03-16, version 1.0.0* At 12:30 in the morning I tend to make some strange decisions. The decision to spend $2 on a text-based game is not one that I regret. The story keeps you engaged, and the life-altering decisions you make encourage you to replay at the end, just to see what would happen. It's safe to say I spent- not wasted, spent- hours playing and replaying because of the many different endings and story lines you can follow. In all its detail and all of its choices, this game is excellently made! Definitely will keep me entertained and learning for a long while. ### 5/5 — A bit short *2015-03-16, version 1.0.0* This game was very well written and had very few errors. For once, a CoG is actually realistic. I enjoyed the game and have played through several times. However, after the first play-through, the story is pretty short. I finished my second time in half an hour. Despite this, the game is really entertaining and realistic. So I give it five stars. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Letdown *2015-03-25, version 1.0.0* The writing is fine, however the story is not great, A bunch of errors, like when you finish you seen it loops back to that scene with a totally different outcome. Overall nothing to get excited about. ### 2/5 — Sober! *2015-03-23, version 1.0.0* Everything was going fine until I got to the party scene. I only had a couple beers then stopped drinking. I went to the fire house and I was sober! But the game made me drunk and ruined everything! You don't get drunk off two or three beers! What are you an eight year old! I was sober! ### 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. ### 3/5 — Uncanny Valley? *2015-04-09, version 1.0.1* I don't know exactly why, but I cannot for the life of me take this game seriously... Perhaps the subject matter is too familiar for me to role play with, perhaps the writing style does something weird that makes immersion hard, I dunno. For me at least, this game is in some sort of uncanny valley. If this doesn't affect you like it did me, I hear the game is great but short and has a refreshing level of realism. ### 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. ### 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! ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — Realistic Rescues & Drama *2015-04-03, version 1.0.1* As a firefighter, I really enjoyed playing this game during the beta testing period. It contains a variety of different fire rescue scenarios that you need to balance realistically with personal life demands putting you in the shoes of a volunteer. The scenes are very well written and varied and your choices really can change the outcome dramatically. Each play through took me a few hours and it is definitely worth repeated plays to try to get the best rescue outcomes. I'd definitely recommend giving this a try. It is well worth the 2 dollars. Thanks for fixing the donut fire bug so quickly! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
