Short, but satisfying

Perfect gamof all time · 9 years ago · v1.0

You cant go wrong getting this game for 99¢, but it was just a little short for my taste. Overall, though, the story is quite nice and the plot engaging.

Yarr Matey!

Jillexie · 11 years ago · v1.0

Such a fun read! And so many new stories yet to explore!

Great read

Cheddar · 11 years ago · v1.0

Fabulous game love it and cheap compared to their other book-games!

Disappointing bugs.

crgdev · 11 years ago · v1.0

Interesting stories but all too often the end of a paragraph is cut off. Unacceptable for an app based entirely around text.

Good stories marred by bugs

Cryolathe · 10 years ago · v1.0

Great atmosphere and writing. Can be read in one sitting, which encourages multiple readings to explore different story paths. Good content and production values for the relatively low cost. Unfortunately, there are a few bugs in the final chapter which, depending on your choices, will either loop you back to an earlier point in the story or prevent the story from ending at all. This spoils the immersion and ruins what could have otherwise been a 5-star experience. The "text is cut off" bug mentioned by an earlier reviewer is present on the iPad in one of the orientations; orienting the device the other way mitigates this issue. If the bugs in the final chapter will be addressed I will update my review and rating; the story begins strong, keeps you interested, but the bugs in the final chapter ruin the experience that was built up so well up to that point.

Fresh take on Interactive Fiction

marctaro · 10 years ago · v1.0

Great presentation, easy to read the story, yet also feel like choices are being made. Clean interface, looking for more from these guys!

Terrific

Be aware this is a book -- a choose your own adventure book. You read a paragraph, then you make a decision -- for example, do you fight, hide, or run away? You then get a bit more of the story based on what you chose, then you make another decision, etc. Its well done, and a bargain at this price. If you like CYOA, or Inkle, this is a very safe purchase. Im really glad I bought it.
