You are Luna, the daughter of a humble lighthouse keeper on the small island of Pilot Town, part of a far-flung, isolated chain of islands in a remote corner of the Greater Kingdom of Estória. Just across the sea, far off on the hazy horizon, lies the Isle of Estória, the regional capital of this forgotten part of the Outer Kingdom. The island is ruled by Governor Kreel. King Ren and Queen Lorna have not been seen in the Outer Kingdom in over fifteen years. Some say they have forgotten all about the outlying islands. Some say they will return one day to set things right. Some say they are kept away by the Governor, who holds their daughter, Princess Marcella, as his ward, which he has used to gain power and influence over the years. But none of this is your concern. You’re just the daughter of a humble lighthouse keeper… Explore the 2D point-and-click world of Estória by finding items, talking to characters, solving puzzles, and uncovering the history and mystery of this isolated part of the Kingdom. Similar in style to Sierra and LucasArts classic adventure games, Estória features an interesting fantasy story, fun and memorable characters, and puzzles that range from easy to... not so easy, but don't worry, a hint system is built in, so gamers of all ages and levels of experience will love exploring this world. No ads or in-app purchases to worry about! From first time solo developer (so please take it easy on me!) Jonathan Jahnke. Welcome to Estória...

The call

Warp Shift's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 4) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
