### 5/5 — 非常沉重

*2026-05-19, version 1.1.0*

反对战争

### 1/5 — Первая часть лучше!

*2026-05-12*

Когда то давным давно покупал первую часть, и это самая лучшая игра для меня до сих пор! Но платить за эту, всего за одну историю? Вы что!? Безумно разочарован, надеялся что ее можно пройти с другим исходом, но нет, всегда одно и тоже, и один и тот же конец!((((

### 3/5 — Brilliant game but not long enough..

*2026-05-08, version 1.1.0*

Just wasn’t long enough compared to the main one..could have had so much more potential..

### 1/5 — ภาษาไทย

*2026-01-31, version 1.1.0*

เพิ่มให้จะลำบากมากใช่ไหม

### 3/5 — I feel a bit cheated

*2026-01-24, version 1.1.0*

The OG game was amazingly worth the money, so much game for the price. This however is just one short cash grab story. I expected more.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money! 👎🏻😡

*2026-01-21, version 1.1.0*

What started out as an interesting game, soon turned into an agonising nightmare of chasing your own tail with no relief in sight!

You can barely get out the starting gate and already you are starving, tired and robbed of your resources by thieves. And if that’s not off putting, the dialogue is slow, the waiting on your build (yawn….) keeps you twiddling your thumbs.

You end up starving to death countless of times, no matter how good you strategise your movements or by clever choices taken. 

I always thought that a game was to be enjoyable & engaging. Playing this game is excruciating painful and frustrating !👎🏻👎🏻🤬

It’s programming is totally unfair, there are no gem boxes that give you enough supplies to get ahead and help you forward into the game. And oh!…the barter person who knocks on your door rips most of your supplies in in exchange for a stingy morsel that does not fulfil your hunger!👎🏻

This game doesn’t deserve any stars, wasted my money! If you’re into beating yourself in the face, waiting in long queues and enjoy been frustrated. Go ahead…be my guest … this is exactly you will get yourself into. Go figure?….🤣🤣👎🏻👎🏻

### 4/5 — Stories or story?

*2025-11-09, version 1.0.10*

I love TWoM. Even went all in on the board game 2nd edition.  Great moral choices and conflicts. Masterful characters development with real emotion.  
However the title of this gam is misleading. It’s A story. Single story.  It’s good but I kinda thought maybe there’d be more than one…. Like storieS

### 3/5 — Apenas uma sub história

*2025-11-02*

Gostei bastante do jogo completo e do stories, que joguei no ps5, comprei o stories la e tinha outras histórias além do Adam e Amélia, porém nessa versão de celular, só da pra jogar essa única história, esperava mais.

### 1/5 — Touchscreen Inputs Not Working Correctly

*2025-10-17, version 1.0.10*

On an iPhone 17 Pro Max, all inputs have to be tapped right of what you are trying to select. Will remove this review once this is fixed. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Could be good

*2025-09-28, version 1.0.10*
