But…

The game is very nice I love the story and all of that but why do they make me start the chapter again when I quit?

Love I but have to pa

I absolutely love how it started it was fun, entertaining and no too hard but not too easy. The animation is great and i love how it was all moving. Until i got to where you have to pay,and honesty I would pay but im a broke teen who’s parent do not spend their money on online games so I couldn’t pay too keep paying which honestly got me sad. It’s a great game as to where i got but i just can’t pay

Amazing game

This game was heart wrenching but so much fun to play. I had so much fun with the puzzles and the story. You get some episodes for free and then you have to pay like a dollar to unlock the full game.

Wonderful game

This game was beautiful. Super entertaining/ emotionally gripping. I finished the game in maybe three hours but was presently surprised with how much enjoyment I received while playing. Though a couple things I will say is there is a purchase option you’d have to pay In order to actually get the app but it was definitely worth it!! I just wish there was a little better detail to the story, like why are we finding feathers to “unlock the owl man” what’s the actual story and meaning behind some of the options?? Anyways you can kinda fill in those details yourself but I would highly recommend anyways!
