Also i have no problem with adds but the ones during the episodes are annoying:// ### 2/5 — Low Effort. *2026-06-08, version 21* This game is very low effort, and the message (though I agree with) is executed very poorly. Plus the game quality interferes with my enjoyment of anything else ### 3/5 — Virago herstory *2026-05-16* Le jeu est très bien rien a dire juste c’est dommage qu’à chaque épisode on doit retourner au menu pour la prochaine épisode et les pubs horrible à chaque épisode une pub ou même pendant l’histoire. ### 3/5 — Mobile *2026-01-18, version 19* It doesn’t let you move around if your on a mobile device idk why ### 2/5 — Virago World is broken *2026-01-15, version 19* Like after the dialog when it wants you to play it doesn’t give you the controls. Only a problem on Virago World mode ### 2/5 — Boring *2026-01-06, version 18* It’s boring idk ### 4/5 — Very fun Game *2025-12-14, version 17* This is a fun and dark game, there was a lot of adds and I glitched the game and got stuck laying to the ground and not being able to move ### 2/5 — Love the message hate the ads. *2025-12-02, version 17* Hello! This is from player to developer please remove the 50 ads. It’s like really annoying and if you want people to get a message maybe like idk don’t put so many ads so people can process the story more. Its good message but ads suck ### 3/5 — Good but the ads… *2025-11-19, version 17* I was excited for this game and was here for the full development and now the series! The idea of bringing awareness of womens struggles always seemed like a beautiful and important message. And making a game to make this the theme was a really cool idea to me! The game is cute. But that doesn't mean it's without issues. Originally, the game (from what I remember) never had this hard overflow of ads. Now when you play the game it's overflowed with ad after ad barely giving any break. The chapters/episodes are extraordinarily short which makes the advertisement issue horrendous. Get that bag ofc but please don't overrun your games like this where it's every 2 minutes. My second issue is the fact that the episodes are short which makes me wonder why the creator didn't just combine them to make a 10-15 minute playthrough time? Instead, you go through the small but slightly annoying part of going through ads to play another chapter that lasts two minutes at most.. Please creator, combine the chapters and reduce the hassle. It would reduce the advertisement issue making it much more enjoyable of a playthrough. You'd still get your bag but it would make people actually play the game and not the delete the app as often. Otherwise, the game has a good message. ### 5/5 — Sa touche beaucoup de coeur 💗 *2025-10-28* L’histoire est émouvante,triste puis traumatisante anxiété est tous sa dite vous que cette histoire est inspirée d’une histoire vrais est sa me fait également pensé au jeu « Bad Parenting »alors je sais que l’histoire bad parenting est encore plus violente est plus émouvante mes en plus bad parenting a étais aussi inspirée d’une histoire vrais vous comprenez enfaite ce que j’essais de vous dire c’est que la plupart des jeux triste est choquant sont inspirée d’histoire vrais sa veut dire que il y a des personnes qui ont subit sa peut-être encore plus longtemps que dans un jeux.... Merci pour ce fantastique jeux le créateur.👌 ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-09-07, version 17* It’s a great game they did a good job making it,though I would love it if they added more plot the story and characters are great and the message is good I love it but the plot is a bit weird but overall it’s such a good game don’t regret getting it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — from: николой андревищ *2026-07-07, version 21* so bad and boring game ### 1/5 — As a man… *2026-03-03, version 19* I played this just to learn how ladies feel, but good lord not every man is a threat as this game shows ### 1/5 — at least make a Tutorial *2026-01-25, version 19* Please make tutorials ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-01-04, version 17* Don’t put ads before I can even play the app! I just downloaded it and not even able to play bc it has really long ads. If you put ads before I even get a chance to play the game to see if the ads are worth it, I’m just gonna give up and delete the app! If I’m playing a game app on my phone, it’s to kill time while waiting. I’m not gonna kill time watching silly ads! This is why I don’t have any games on my phone! When I was finally able to play, you’re not really told what to do and it seemed like any button tap resulted in a ad! Uninstalling this ### 1/5 — Ads make it unplayable *2025-12-29, version 17* The controls aren’t explained and are confusing. And I never even made it to the second level due to the ungodly amount of ads. I kid you not I had to sit through 13 ads before ever making it to level 2. And there wasn’t really anything to do in the first level anyway. I was really looking forward to playing this as I was sure it was an independent developer but im not willing to spend hours watching and skipping through ads for 2 seconds of a black and white 2d character walking with little context. ### 1/5 — This is sponsored by ___ *2025-12-27, version 17* Ads with every button press! >.< it’s virtually unplayable on mobile. I dont doubt its a good game but there is WAY too many ads blocking it out for me to enjoy it ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-12-24, version 17* I would LOVE to give this app 5/5 but it’s impossible because before I even pressed anything on the app, I got an ad. When I pressed play, I got an ad. When I tried to play I got an ad. It makes the game so unpleasant. Yes, I understand that all company is selfish and money hungry but it’s sad to see the game ruined by it. So horrible! Couldn’t even stand the game I deleted it in the same minute I downloaded it ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2025-12-12, version 17* Omg there’s an ad like every second u can’t even play the game u click on smth boom an ad u die boom an ad u play it boom an ad like bro and some u have to watch like the full ad even tho ur not earning anything and some full ads r like 1 min like bro worst game ever and the game isn’t even good like bro remove the ads and then reply and say u removed the ads then I’ll play it again ok? Fix this game gosh ### 1/5 — Literally Unplayable. *2025-11-12, version 17* I tried to start the first chapter and instantly, Ad. I close it and open it and try playing the first chapter again, immediately another ad. ### 1/5 — Over-Monetization. *2025-05-16, version 17* I love what the game stands for and would like to enjoy the gameplay and the games story to its fullest extent but it’s hard when you get an ad every 20 seconds. I opened the game and almost immediately got an advertisement and with every button I clicked came an advertisement to follow. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-12* Ist an great game but really sad im very glad about the ending tbh ### 5/5 — Love it !!°ʚ🎀ɞ°𓊆ྀི❤︎𓊇ྀིbut a bit of cussing but I’ll still give it a 5⋆🐾° *2026-07-27, version 21* 𝓘 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮 (♥ω♥) ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-07-19, version 21* I love this game because it teaches too not be scared to walk alone at night because people care about you and will protect you love the message ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-06-24, version 21* I love the story itself. It’s quite creative the comments I understand that no one really likes the ads, but I don’t really care. The story is understandable cause a lot of people go through it and it really brings people together and making it so that way they can play it multiple times and understand the concept better it’s actually really nice and it makes people not feel alone and it’s honestly amazing and itself. I love the attention to detail and I didn’t know you went through this yourself, but I am honestly proud of the game. Makes everyone come together and there are creepy people out there that are disgusting and it really tells you about those people and gives you a good visual and I love the fact that you included a safe place for someone is honestly the best game to play whenever you wanna feel emotional and it’s honestly a good game to play whenever you feel like no one understands you and you feel like you’re alone in this. I feel like playing this game to help people understand what certain people are going through and what trauma. Especially kids cause I know some kids can’t walk home alone without feeling like they’re being watched and some kids. can walk home without feeling watched. And it honestly brings people together that way we can all understand people‘s point of view and trauma, and all of it brings people together makes people understand people‘s trauma honestly, I felt the game itself love the story of the plot. everything is amazing. Keep making these games absolutely love it. And if you can make one for like little boys, that would be great as well cause I know not only girls get this problem but also little boys cause I know some people out there are just so disgusting not only do they go for little girls? They go for little boys too so if everyone is in this together, no matter what and if you can make that kind of game that be so amazing and the character named Victoria, who protects Willow is honestly the best I didn’t know she was the town protector at all things but it’s amazing how you added the villains in this message/story and also the creativity and the thought behind the game is amazing ### 5/5 — Sooo good *2026-05-08, version 21* I love it so fun and tragic you’ll have to act fast dash and survive 5 stars more plsss ### 5/5 — :) :( *2026-04-13, version 21* This made me cry ### 5/5 — bah j’ai bien kiffé *2026-01-31* c’est vla touchant je fonce faire le 2 ### 5/5 — Scary reality yet alerting and educational *2026-01-03, version 17* As a closeted transgender teenager, ive been chased and followed by men since 8 years. They would whistle at me and some have SA me in the dark areas secretly. I never told my parents cause they would blame me. Willow is just like me, a little girl who is never treated like one, but in her story other women helped her… for me there was no support of women and im 16 now and still there’s no one for me. I still get chased by men but it became a habit of dealing with it by myself. A big thanks to the developer cause such things do make a huge impact on women’s safety 🎀✨💗🏳️‍⚧️ ### 5/5 — 10/10 🥹 *2025-12-11, version 17* I love this game and its message! ### 5/5 — PERFECT, but…. *2025-11-08, version 17* I really love this game it’s so good but every time I finish a chapter it makes me watch an add and every time I play it gives me at least one add while I’m in the middle of playing. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
