** Apple Watch Users: If you're having trouble playing, force touch the Apple Watch and tap New Game (requires Watch OS 2.0). ** Glyphica is a dynamic storytelling adventure engine, written by Jeremy Vineyard, author of the Stormwinter book series. Every time you play, your experience will be different than the time before it. Maps, characters, and stories are generated dynamically. One day you might be a mercenary, the next a shipwrecked sailor. Or maybe you'll end up on the run, hiding from zombies. Glyphica opens up a world of possibilities. Interactive storytelling for iOS/Apple Watch has never been this much fun. Explore your environment. Find and collect treasures. Battle rare and exotic creatures. Make your way to the goal (if you can) and complete the adventure! ***** NOTES ***** Glyphica is free, with optional IAP purchases for additional stories. Each story you purchase supports the developers. By supporting this app and leaving good reviews you will make it possible for us to add additional stories in the future.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MouseHunt at 4.4 against Glyphica's 2.1. MouseHunt also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 33%) and ratings volume (623 vs 7). Glyphica's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
