### 5/5 — Not just a zombie game

*2022-02-16*

I am a huge fan of all the zombie Games this company has created so far, playing them with the anticipation to find an ending most suiting for me, surviving, building a base, leading a group and much more, but this game, despite it’s few grammatical errors here and there felt different, the zombies put far into the background, as the aliens stand foremost, all in all having a business venture in their mind. It is different from all games I ever played in this genre and that is not at all a bad thing. My only complaint is that I would have liked to complete the 25 years of ruling over my continent. I thank you for always creating new games that help me spark up my imagination, improve my problem solving abilities and strengthen my micro-/macro management skills (stats, relationships, chances and failures) all in all a great game in a great genre.

### 3/5 — Good story, but lackluster editing

*2020-09-11*

Story is fun so far, but the editing (capitalization, punctuation, sentence flow) was so problematic that I can’t continue with it. A good editorial pass would make this game shine.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2020-06-24, version 1.0.1*

Love the reference to zombie exodus in the first chapter with the cathedral and Tom and mindy haha!

### 2/5 — Ok

*2019-06-26*

Ok

### 5/5 — Favourite Choice of Games

*2019-04-27*

This has easily been my favourite choice of games as it is so massively varied in its genres throughout the game - you have the ability to create drastically different storylines, which gives it immense replay-ability.
I love the fleshed-out characters and felt myself getting truly bonded to them through all their little quirks. Felt deep pangs of guilt for every one I couldn’t save.
I’m writing this at 0155h after replaying this game for god-knows which time. I come back to it every so often because it’s just that good.

### 5/5 — The game:

*2019-01-27*

Loved it. Kinda short but still amazing. I am confused tho. How is Rachel pregnant? I didn’t go near her.

### 5/5 — Great Story and Caricatures!

*2018-10-28*

I’m Currently half way though the story and my caricature name is Benjamin Smith and its been great so far with great story and caricatures! I Definitely recommend you downloading this app, there are a few grammar errors though but does not change the story at all.

### 4/5 — Really enjoy, but some errors.

*2017-11-24*

Great job on the game but I have noticed some errors with the Jacob romance storyline.  There is no relationship progress value for him showing as well as his pronouns are mixed up with the Sarah romance storyline.  Please fix! Then I’d be happy to adjust my rating.

### 3/5 — Pretty fun. A few errors

*2017-07-17*

I've replayed this game five or six times today trying to get all of the achievements. What I have found is that there is very little variation. 
So it's kind of if you do a you end up at c but if you do b you either die and restart or you get sort of shoved awkwardly into b.
The stats don't seem to make a huge difference and the two sets of stats i.e. Strength, leadership etc and scavenging, (whatever else is in that section) kind of makes it hard to tell what is actually happening.
It's a cool game and a neat idea but it could benefit from more choice and variation (and proof reading)

### 3/5 — It was so good until u had to pay

*2017-05-09*

It was so good well written story that would've deserved a five star rating if I didn't have to pay. That was a number one downfall mostly because it gets u attached to ur character and then u have to delete because u don't want to buy it. Although besides that it was a well written story with interesting decisions and plot.
