### 3/5 — Timecrest busy timer makes it more fun

*2026-06-19, version 3.6.1*

I love the game. It has a great design to it. And I’m very excited to see time crest four. However, the voiceover can sometimes get boring. Mainly because it pronounces all the voices which can get boring. Another problem is the notifications. When you’re done playing the game, it constantly sending notifications can become very annoying. another thing is the money. I’ve spent quite a lot of money on this game in the hopes that they would make   Timecrest for I understand that that takes a lot of money but still. I would like to have some confirmation that my contribution to the game is being used other than that I love the game.

### 4/5 — Timecrest honest review opinion

*2026-02-21, version 3.6.1*

I like Timecrest It’s pretty good and accessible for blind and visually impaired users, but in my opinion, I don’t think there should be options for how you can message Ash. I think there should be a little text a little text field after the ashes waiting message. that’ll be easier to say what you want instead of having options that you might not wanna say I think this will be a lot better than having options because the users will be able to express their opinions on what Ash should do and what her journey should be like I know she should have her own opinion too, but we should, but as our role in the game as the time age, I think it’d be better if we had our own text field where we could enter message messages to Ash instead of having options

### 3/5 — Good game for Apple Watch and iPhone but

*2025-05-13, version 3.5.9*

So I like this game because it’s compatible with Apple Watch it’s kind of like I’m texting with the main character but the one thing that I was wondering about is when I open the app on the Apple Watch it keeps showing the old amount of gold coins. And even old conversation. And I need to close and reopen every time to get a  same amount of gold coins and conversation that I have on iPhone, And it’s kind of annoying to me.
So when I accidentally choose the response that I already chose on iPhone I have to start a new game because it’s showing the prologue screen on the iPhone again I sent it to support for this issue. It might be a bug. But I recommend this game if you are  blind and enjoy adventure story. It’s easy to use with voiceover on both iPhone and Apple Watch and I hope this issue can fix soon. 🥰

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2025-03-15, version 3.5.9*

This is a great game fun to play but when is Timecrest four coming out?

### 4/5 — room for improvement

*2025-02-25, version 3.5.8*

like, why don’t u add visuals to the story??? its such a cool, fantastic story. i think all it needs is visuals. so it feels less like reading a novel, and more like playing a game. also, i can’t wait for Alvin’s story, is my fav character. so please for the next part, add visuals and more Alvin. welp, jus my suggestions. I’ll still play the game even if u don’t change a thing.
And some characters are so bad that they spoil the entire story. Sol, Scarlet and Riley especially. No one likes them. Remove them from the story. And even Ash so dumb sometimes. I feel like i possessed him, like, come on, give him free will or smth

### 5/5 — The best interactive story app ever!

*2024-12-25, version 3.5.8*

This “game” is amazing. I only add quotations because it’s more of an interactive book but that’s neither here nor there. 

The characters you meet are so likable and you really get to know them along side Ash. The villains are complex and the story take twists and turns you could never see coming. 

I will admit that the waiting sequences are annoying but the amazing story and world building and characters more than make up for it! 

If I could rate higher, I would. I recommend giving this a go. You won’t regret it.

### 5/5 — Love the game

*2024-12-08, version 3.5.8*

It’s a great accessible game for the blind and visually impaired.

### 5/5 — I love this game!!!

*2024-10-28, version 3.5.8*

So, I just got this app today, and I started playing it. I’m only on chapter 1, but so far, I love it!
I am always searching for fully accessible games, since I am a fully blind person, but they’re usually really hard to find. So I’m lucky that I found this one when I did.
Now, about what I love about the game. 
First of all, the text is awesome! I love the message and the responses. Also, the music is phenomenal! It is truly spectacular! 
And, Ash is such an awesome and lovable character! He is relatable, young, brave, and he has good humor! he is truly an awesome character, and whoever wrote his characters messages, is a genius! Actually, whoever made this game is a genius! Truly, the blind population cannot thank you enough! It is a perfect game! It’s a cool mix between something that doesn’t take a bunch of brain power, and something that does take some brain power! Also, the waiting time is kind of cool actually! It’s sad that I have to wait, but then again, it’s realistic. I don’t text 24 seven. You guys should make more games like this, and even though I’m only on chapter one, I’m so excited about this game! So, thank you so much For making this masterpiece for blind people like me to enjoy and play! Also, can I mention that this is free? Like, this does not seem like something that would be free! But, it is. I love games that are free and good, because they’re always games that are not free, and either they’re really good once you download them, or they’re not good. I’ve gotten games that literally did not work on my phone, so making this game free is a game changer for me because I’m broke. I have no money. And I can’t keep asking my parents to buy me games. It just gets awkward and then I’ll get in trouble if I ask too much. So, thank you so much for making this game not only accessible, but free! You have expanded the list of blind, friendly games, one game at a time!

### 5/5 — Love the game

*2024-10-09, version 3.5.8*

I really love this game and I ask the developers can you please make other games similar to this one or can there be a Timecrest four r released soon because I really like this game and I hope I have more options for games like this one 
New update: can the developer of this game please tell me how to get the full-time crest soundtrack for free because I really like the soundtrack

### 5/5 — My Literal Favorite Game

*2024-10-03, version 3.5.8*

I love playing this game, and want to, for the rest of my life.
Also, I love singing in the composer, Daryl, and Timecrest’s inboxes, so they have good fan art.

### 5/5 — Thank you for making this game voiceover compatible

*2024-08-15, version 3.5.8*

Many games I’ve tried previously do not have voiceover features at all so I just wanna say thank you developers for making this game

### 5/5 — Wish there were more such games…

*2024-08-14, version 3.5.8*

Incredible game. The longer one plays it, the better it becomes! And accessibility is just better than in any other application I have ever seen.

### 4/5 — Timecrest  I really love this game because I could be late to Luther Timecrest

*2024-06-05, version 3.5.8*

I love this game because I can relate to Luther Timecrest playing this game is like messing with your life

### 4/5 — Fantastic story with fantastic accessibility

*2024-04-22, version 3.5.8*

This game surprised me and surpassed my expectations in so many ways. The world building is very interesting and well-done, the characters are colourful with intricately-crafted backstories, the soundtrack is excellent, and to top it all off, the app has incredible accessibility for blind and low vision players. I can't get enough of this game and discovering new content with every play through.

### 4/5 — A timeless adventure

*2024-04-20, version 3.5.8*

As a fervent enthusiast of immersive storytelling and interactive experiences, I embarked on an unforgettable journey through Timecrest, a game that seamlessly blends captivating narratives with intricate gameplay mechanics. From the moment I delved into the world of Timecrest, I was entranced by its rich and dynamic storyline. The game’s narrative unfolds like a finely woven tapestry, each thread intricately connected to the next, creating a mesmerizing tale of time travel, adventure, and self-discovery. The characters, from the enigmatic Ash to the charming Morty, are brought to life with depth and authenticity, making it easy to form genuine connections with them as the story progresses. As I navigated the twists and turns of the storyline, I found myself immersed in a world where magic and mystery collide, and where every decision I made had a tangible impact on the outcome.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Timecrest is its music, composed by a small creator who poured their heart and soul into every note. The soundtracks, which add depth and atmosphere to the gameplay, are a testament to the power of following one’s passion, even in the face of adversity. It serves as a reminder that the most meaningful experiences often arise from the simplest of beginnings, and that true artistry lies in the ability to evoke emotion through sound. Sometimes, when you’re on the verge of giving up on your dreams or your passion, that’s precisely when you experience your breakthrough.
As I delved deeper into the game, I discovered a vibrant and supportive community of fellow players, united by their love for Timecrest. The dedicated fan-run Discord server, in particular, serves as a hub for discussion, collaboration, and camaraderie. Here, players come together to share theories, offer advice, and celebrate the joys of gaming, making the overall experience of Timecrest all the more enriching and rewarding.
In conclusion, Timecrest is more than just a game—it’s an unforgettable journey that immerses players in a world of magic, mystery, and adventure. While the timers can stretch to lengthy durations, potentially frustrating some players, those who persevere may uncover a narrative that deeply resonates with them. With its compelling storyline, innovative gameplay, and supportive community, Timecrest offers an unparalleled gaming experience that will leave players eagerly anticipating each new chapter. As I eagerly await the next installment in this captivating saga, I can’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to embark on this extraordinary journey through space and time.

### 5/5 — Love this

### 1/5 — nunya

*2025-11-26, version 3.6.1*

very good storry  game but ash is very dumb

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2025-05-24, version 3.5.9*

It doesn’t work on my iPhone. It doesn’t really load. I can’t press any of the buttons and the text doesn’t appear. It used to be good but then overall doesn’t work anymore.

### 1/5 — Don’t understand

*2024-08-24, version 3.5.8*

A 16 year old boy ? Ash I’m 36 a female not into young people I like men and women my age

### 1/5 — wait times are crappy

*2021-05-23, version 3.1*

why not offer a full price for the game .more inclined to purchase rather than spend so much money skipping all the 24hr waits

### 1/5 — Terrible and slow

*2019-11-30, version 2.8.3*

Get on with it. Being forced to wait for text to appear to read the story is stupid and makes you want to delete the game. Didn’t make it past chapter 1 before doing so.

### 1/5 — 24 hours waiting time?!

*2017-12-30, version 2.7*

If you want to play this game, you will have to have a lot of patience. Or pay up in cash.

In order to have an reasonable waiting time, you will probably have to spread $31 on time crystals in the first few chapters.

This is not reasonable at all. I’ll gladly spread $10 on this game however that will not get me having to sometimes wait 10 hours for the next story bit.

I do not have Twitter or Forum account, as the thought of having a social media account gives me a panic attack and anxiety issues.

I went to browse their YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Forums which only got me about 200 time crystals.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2017-02-07, version 2.5.4*

This game is boring. Barely any interaction and the story line is boring. Deleted

### 1/5 — La MAJ fait recommencer au début

*2015-10-11, version 1.3*

Déjà que c'est lent ou coûteux. Que la Watch n'est pas toujours synchro. La dernière maj fait repartir au début (même si l'historique est d'ailleurs affiché). J'abandonne.

### 1/5 — Game restarts everytime you use the watch

*2015-09-26, version 1.1.0*

Game restarts everytime you use the watch.

### 2/5 — The background music is annoying.

*2025-03-10, version 3.5.8*

It’s really good, but the background music is annoying. Is there anyway to turn it off? And I can’t seem to move past a certain point in the story so it seems to keep repeating the same part of the story which is annoying.

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2026-07-29, version 3.6.1*

Best game ever it has many twists and turns I find that it’s very interactive the music music just touches me and I wish it was gonna continue it also is very good for the names that really touches me and I find that the voiceover says some of the names wrong like Zoe enhanced calls Saul soul in chapters 12 13, 1415 and Z and voice Zoe in enhanced also call with Luther Lefer and all voices call Valencia Alencia I wish in chapter 1 through 10. There was a way to draw from the aler portal and I wish there were more ways to get time crystals so I can get stuff faster cause I only have 998 time crystals because I missed the 1010 time crystals for the 10 year anniversary of Timecrest because I missed the 2025 message because I don’t look and notice is very often and I’m trying to save up for a TOG generator Magnus and that’s why I want in more ways to get time crystals because I’m only vending for free so make some more ways  ry

### 5/5 — One of the Best Interactive Fiction Games I’ve Ever Played

*2026-06-05, version 3.6.1*

The storytelling is so immersive and vivid, and there are so many branch points that you really feel the impact that your choices make on the characters and the story.  You can really feel the blood, sweat, and tears that went into this incredible game. I read the creators’ note, but I do hope they find the opportunity to continue Timecrest 4 and 5 whenever they can! It is such an amazing story, and I cannot wait to experience it to the end.

### 5/5 — really enjoying this

*2026-01-27, version 3.6.1*

I am really enjoying the game Timecrest. Everything that you read or respond to helps you decide what to do next. This game is definitely worth playing more than once. The way that the characters appear is almost like if you are talking to someone through a live chat, except you are not. It's a very interesting game. This is one I would definitely recommend. can't wait for Timecrest for.

### 5/5 — Super cool game!!!

*2025-11-12, version 3.6.1*

Me and my mom both love this game. I think the animations are so cute on the music page thing! And also I love the music it’s so majestic and sets the mood. Yippee!!

### 5/5 — One of the best games I’ve played this year.

*2025-10-28, version 3.6.1*

I’m enjoying this game so much that I can’t put it away. I love the story, and the Game mechanics and most importantly what the dev has done with accessibility.
If you are a developer and  want to know how accessibility should be implemented, time crest is the best example

### 5/5 — 🧚‍♀️ great fantasy game

*2025-08-05, version 3.6.1*

I love the story line and the music I love the first song connections. I love how you’re talking through a pocket watch it’s you have a very good messaging system going on. I know it’s not real, but it seems real. I like how I am a time mage and I found this game through Open AI’s Chat GPT and it’s just a great game. I love fantasy so this completely suits me. Also, one question. Why can’t I write my own messaging responses? And is there a part in the game where you get a video call from Ash? Thanks for inventing Timecrest. Also, how do I get to the next chapter in the game?

### 5/5 — This game is awesome possum!

*2025-08-01, version 3.6.0*

I absolutely love this game! It’s so addicting! I hope you guys will continue to make more games like this and thank you for thinking of the totally blind and visually impaired crew out here as well! I’ve just made it to part three Luther! Can’t wait to see where we end up next! If only we could go back in time in real life right? :-) This game definitely provokes some thought too! Thank you again and I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

### 5/5 — Relaxing

*2025-07-31, version 3.6.0*

The voiceover accessibility in this game has been absolutely beyond amazing! I find it to be very enjoyable and relaxing. I’ve always been into interactive fiction and this is a great way to alleviate stress and just have a sense of peace and serenity while playing the game. It’s one of those games where When you’re cuddled up by the fire or you’re on a long road trip you can just sit back and chill while you read and make choices in the game. Love it!

### 5/5 — Mostly good

*2025-06-08, version 3.5.9*

Good story. However, I wish there were times where we had more options to choose from. There are times when dealing with Ash or Scarlet that I would’ve done stuff different, but wasn’t given the option. Example, if I’m going through, I’m just trying to be a bully to Ash, there’s no options that will eventually make her realize that I may not be a good person. Or that she needs to grow up and face reality that she’s just not smart. Or in Scarlett‘s case, that she needs to get over, loving her brother as much as she does or just being point-blank honest with her sometimes blunt. Or make her angry with me because I don’t see how she can love her brother as much as she does.

### 5/5 — Question

*2025-05-31, version 3.5.9*

Why can’t I use my gold to get the sound tracks in time crest.
