Started well, but as soon as I paid money to unlock the next chapter, nothing happened anymore - David just never came back to the chat - and my emails went unanswered. Not happy. Bit of a shame as I quite enjoyed it. edit after more than a week: Still no reaction at all from the developers.

Can you please go back to the "Drawing Board" and "re-release" your Game please? The whole Game is a "LIE", there's no Option for us to "type our own Stories" or "make our own Decisions". If there was, we would have the "Option" on whether we want to "type our own Stories" and "make our own Decisions" by using our "Smartphones' Keyboards" to do so. There's no Option for this whatsoever. I think you need to "re-evaluate" the Way you think, because you're not thinking properly.

I think the storyline is quite interesting, though it's still ongoing & the 2nd episode of season 2 is still coming soon at the moment. There's an option to watch rewarded ads to unlock the next episodes, if you don't want to purchase the tickets.

Interesting game but have to wait far too often, and the characters behavioir often feeld unrealistic. Also what's they point of us telling them what to do if they are just going to ignore us and do whatever anyways? Also it's annoying that it doesn't tell you how long you will have to wait before the game continues

This is a great game, no doubt about that. I only finished episode 1 so far but I already enjoyed this game a lot! The waiting times are totally acceptable and they also make the game seem more realistic. The story is interesting and I constantly want to know what will happen next. I'm excited to play the other episodes as well! Thanks for this amazing experience.

awesome episodes and very intriguing setting with the chat messages. I love the natural and sarcastic flow of the language - there are only very few instances when it feels like a game instead of real text messages. Only reason it is not 5 stars: I would be willing to watch the add videos for the tickets to unlock the next episode but the app tells me after 3 vids per day that there are no vids for me to watch... very annoying when you need 100 tickets!

I personally like those things so It's perfect for me. There are long waiting times, which I'm a bit sad about, but I understand it and I'll wait everytime because I'm definetly not gonna delete The Parallax :3 I've been here for years now, since the first ep came out, and I still don't regret it. Good job- (ja.. mir ist aufgefallen, dass ich in Englisch kommentiert habe weil uhm ichs gewohnt bin nehm ich an, aber ich hab gelesen, es wird schon and einer Übersetzung gearbeitet 💪🏻)

I played a part of this game in 2017 and I loved it. Now I wanted to continue playing, but the story gets stuck in the beginning when David is still in his house. Even the "support cat" is stuck. I even reinstalled the game twice, but still not working. Hope this will get fixed soon.

This game is very cool (I cannot wait for the next chapter to be released!). Initially I thought that it was just going to be a "select the first or second response offered" kind of game. The story does have that element to it, but it also has this really smart and complex layering with multiple "echoes." Sometimes you aren't sure when you are let alone where. (Not in a bad way though). For those who criticize the AI component - it's there. Have an awesome little chat with the helpbot. Awesome!

Waiting time is too long and the bot doesn't work. Everytime I send a message to it, it doesn't reply with an answer, so I'm wasting the credits every time I send a message. There are no explanation as to what the tickets do and you can use the nutrition to continue the story but it doesn't mention how many you have to use each time.

Not bad, but misleading description and pictures. It looks like an ai character app, at first, where you make your own custom stories, but it only has a premade story, and you only get a couple premade choices on what you can say or when. In other words, it isn't an ai app, like it says it is. Searching for it, somewhere, I read that the ai chat is an upcoming feature, not yet added to this app.

This game is amazing! It doesn't force you to buy anything, nor are the times to wait when there are no videos left too long. Just there should be more available videos, but its not a big matter. The help bot is really good made. The conversations feel more real, and the story is amazing. Just started Episode 2. Can't wait for more!

It's ok. Of course in german don't expect English. It's slow paced to try to make you buy food to speed it up. That's OK but annoying. Some of the options though are so dumb. It's like you haven't been playing for 3 days and have forgotten the story. Sometimes the clever or 'normal' option is not even there. You have to choose the dumb option. Then wait 1 hour to get a response to a stupid question you would never have asked.

This game is fantastic! It's simplistic and I mean that in the most positive way possible, love the storytelling and the characters so far. You really get the feeling that the creators put alot of work and passion into this app for our enjoyment. And I thank them for it. The only people who wouldn't enjoy this game as much as I did are 1) People who don't like messenger-style RPG's 2) People who don't speak german Really loved it!

I absolutely love the game. (Is it even a game?) I installed it once before on my (very) old phone but the phone was waaaay to slow for the app. Now I reinstalled it about 1 1/2 years later and it's even more amazing than I remembered. I laugh about the possible answers way too often for such a serious game but the creator (s?) really did a great job. Thanks for enlightening my darkest days and being overall awesome dudes. Hope the next episodes will be just as awesome as the once already here.

Giving up, forever and nothing newLove the story and the chats, but had to go over a day unable to play because no more ads were available to earn enough tickets to continue on to the 2nd chapter. Not everyone can afford to spend money to play, and as I am more than willing to watch multiple ads in order to continue, it's aggravating to be told there aren't ads available which gives me from playing. Day 3 and I'm finally able to continue to chapter 2. I'm excited to see what David gets into next

a very in depth story experience - the second hand commentary from the developer makes it relatable even on an out-of-game level. it could be quite a tad more creepy and alternate-reality-heavy, but i suppose that is how it is intended. in the end it is up for personal preference. if you like a bit of creepy pasta and enjoy some AR stuff, then this is for you.

It is a great game, with a great story. It helps me to study German in a very good way. Total respect here :) But starting from episode 2 it basically wants you to pay for nutrition! Without carrots progress is couple messages in a week, while first episode was so nice and I went through it in couple days. Don't get me wrong, I'm very eager to pay for a good game, and I would throw carrots at David a lot, when it is an emotional moment in story line. But paying for every next message? Come on.

Having played the game many years ago, the story of the game has remained decently-paced and constructed. Yet, there are two major issues I experience now. 1. The rewarded ad system seems bugged. Having tried to "watch rewarded ads," often neither an ad was/is shown nor the message that currently "no ads are available." 2. Unlike many IFs, one can't unlock the whole story with one purchase. +Watching rewarded ads has been significantly limited when compared with the earlier version of the game.

I really really liked this game. The story was great and it kept me intrigued enough to keep playing and even spend money. But then I lost all the progress I made (episode 5) lost all the tickets I paid for ( 477) and all my nutrition (120) and when I repeatedly messaged the developers I heard nothing in response. I'm so disappointed
