### 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 — 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.

### 4/5 — Grammar, and ending

*2016-12-07*

I like the book for the most part but as others said the grammar and spelling was displeasing. I often caught words misspelt, enough to actually bother me. The only other complaint I had was my ending wasn't all that good. Unlike other authors the ending wasn't really that great.

### 3/5 — okay

*2016-11-08*

i really liked the story, the characters, and the options presented. however, there were so many errors in pronouns. my male love interest was frequently referred to as she/her. parts that were supposed to be about him switched from him to sarah. ex. jacob was in your bed, you were happy about it. as you held her closer, you were so glad you'd met sarah. i'd give it four or five stars otherwise. most games i tend to ignore little typos and such, but there were SO many that it was extremely distracting. however, i do think the game is worth the money. it's unique and i enjoyed it:)

### 4/5 — Great game but........

*2016-03-15*

I loved the story line even though I didn't have the money to spend on getting the full story still had a great story and good grammar but I do wish this game was free to play the full story instead of just part of it

### 4/5 — Fun but can't play

*2016-01-18, version 1.0.0*

The game is fun but I can't play it because I Have to enter a code, and no madder what I put in it says at least write something even though I did

### 4/5 — Great but buggy

*2015-10-29*

I love this game. I really do. My only problem is a bug in the village of the aliens (with the nano control device) where if I touch the monitor during the day it doesn't read any inputs. The game then becomes unplayable as I can't leave the screen until I enter something and the game can't understand me entering me anything. I'd love a fix for that.

### 5/5 — Game

*2015-09-13*

It's a good game tbh

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2015-09-09*

Amazing storyline but I wish the rest of it was a bit cheaper but was worth it

### 5/5 — Great game minor errors in text

*2015-09-08*

Fantastic app, brilliant and gripping story. Gives a feel of responsibility through each choice and the consequences following each one. Made me think of certain video games. Felt like it could be a real film.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2015-08-22, version 1.0.0*

This is amazing. This story is really good, it's fun and very detailed. And wasn't the cathedral from exodu?😉

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2015-08-14*

This isn't the same writer as zombie exodus. Or maybe he had an off day, overall the story is, okay its entertaining at least. 

- spoiler alert-

The whole idea that aliens caused the zombies was... Weird to me, then the fact that they simply returned to normal after everything happened also weirded me out.

### 5/5 — Minor errors, fantastic overall

*2015-08-05*

I loved this game and as far as I'm concerned it was well worth the £2 you have to spend go unlock the later chapters. There are a few minor typos but it's easy to ignore them with such an amazing story. I was very disappointed when a choice I made resulted in he death of a character very close to mine, and this almost ruined the game for me because my choice didn't seem to have any chance of leading to such an outcome... I actually felt sad!! That just shows how Immersive this game is. Buy it. It's awesome.

### 4/5 — Interesting

*2015-07-19*

My first text based game. I really liked it. It flowed along, you got immersed in the storyline and it stayed true to its characters. Not bought it yet, but suspect I will as I have enjoyed it so far

### 5/5 — Another great game.

*2015-07-15*

This one will have you scratching your head until the final choice is made. Zombies? Aliens? Zombies versus aliens? Aliens versus humanity? At first it may seem confusing, but it all ties together quite nicely.

### 4/5 — Ripoff?

*2015-07-06, version 1.0.0*

Cool game I enjoy it but the concept for this story is a ripoff of Dawn, their is no denying that.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Grammatical errors, grammatical errors, grammatical errors...

*2015-05-18*

Seriously, this game has more errors than my third grader's essays. Not to mention that the story is vastly unentertaining. Far from the par that Choice of Games has set for their roleplaying stories, and even that of Hosted Games.

### 1/5 — Poor effort

*2015-04-26*

As a text based game they shouldn't have typos. Interesting concept but poorly written.

### 2/5 — Ok

*2019-06-26*

Ok

### 2/5 — Pretty poor text adventure

*2015-10-18*

As text adventures go, this wasn't a good effort. Granted, the storyline is detailed and engaging if you are playing it for the first time, but there is little real opportunity to make decisions through your choices except at a few key points in the game. And playing it through more than once means having to wade through pages of text.

And if you make the mistake of choosing Sarah as your partner in the game, you can NEVER undo that decision, no matter what choices you make later. She's a really clingy, needy character and makes no contribution to enhancing your gameplay at all. 

I got bored with it quite early on. All of the characters are one dimensional, I really couldn't have cared less what happened to them. None of your choices made any difference to your relationship stats; none of your abilities (or lack of them) effected the role play. And again, decisions made later in the game made no difference to skills and ability stats. 

The lengthy and detailed text, the lack of opportunity to make game changing decisions, the one dimensional characterisation and the teeth-grittingly annoying partnership with the vine-like Sarah character, meant I was doing little more than racing through what was left of the story just to get to the end.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2015-06-23, version 1.0.0*

First of all there are a lot of grammatical errors. The game is weirdly written, definitely not something I like. The NPC names are often mixed up.

### 2/5 — Could of been so much more

*2015-04-10*

This game could of been so much better. Wish it had stuck to zombies like zombie exodus did. I did enjoy the reference to it. Really disappointed

### 2/5 — Not worth the money

*2015-03-14*

Lots of grammatical errors on almost every page. Also the story feels more and more rushed as it goes on. Another big problem is that you don't really get to know the other characters so it's hard to really care about them. Also not a lot of choices.

### 2/5 — Good but not that good

*2015-03-09, version 1.0.0*

The game is made by the same person who made made zombie: exodus. So right from the beginning I expected a myriad of  endings.to my disappointment there are only three main endings. There are more than three endings but they are far from satisfactory. Surprising considering in their last game every ending of the was unique and entertaining . Not to say this game is without its charm it just lacked substance. A few spelling and grammar mistakes, while not many are just enough to be annoying after a while. I gave it a two because it felt rushed and unoriginal to the point where they literally took the world they had already created and just added aliens.

### 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.

### 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)

### 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.

### 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!

### 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.

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2016-08-07*

Probably my favourite choice game and I can't wait too see what comes out in the future!

### 5/5 — I just needed to say this

*2016-07-07*

SPOILER:

ABSOLUTELY loved the references to zombie exodus. I'm absolutely thrilled to see a lot of the characters before they got together

### 5/5 — Very Well Written

*2016-02-22*

This story is extremely well written and intriguing. I cannot recommend it enough, other than the fact that you have to pay for the third chapter. Even if you do not want to play, you should still read it because it's THAT good.

### 5/5 — Titles

*2016-02-04*

I love this book/game I just wish that I could buy the other chapters but I currently can't but so far I love this book there are some things that I dislike but not enough to where it get four stars it still gets five stars

### 5/5 — An afternoon well spent

*2015-12-24*

Genuinely loved this. It's self aware, makes you feel Iike a hero and offers a lot of choice. On my second read and really blown away by the impact you can have. I'm in an utterly different world and everyone is alive!
It is exactly what it holds itself out to be. A decent text based adventure. Love it
