The game is written well and the pacing is quite good. I can't say that the plot jumped out at me or caught my interest and the choices seem to be more for flavour text than for replay value. Maybe an update to include more endings and impactful choices will make the game more interesting and allow players to feel more invested in the storyline rather than feel like a spectator. Still, it's a decent game and with a few changes, it could be really amazing.

This game, and all of its elements - the riveting story, the natural voice acting, the lovely music, those immersive special effects - come together to form ART, especially for a game that you aren't ever forced to pay for. I made sure to buy it midway nonetheless to support the developers, but I still can't believe I found a game of this quality and it didn't turn out to be just a demo for a paid version. Thanks for all your hardwork on this, developers!! This made my weekend :)

This was my first time reading an interactive story online. Loved it. I enjoyed the story a lot, and didn't mind the ads so I could continue reading. For constructive criticism, I would say to make the choices that you have to make, different enough that it could alter how the story plays out. This would be more complicated to write, but many were so similar that they would have had the same result. Also, some had 1 "choice" and it still used a ticket. Loved the story! Would read it either way

I really like this app. Its storyline is good. The in between images and voices align perfectly, and the app is a 10/10 for me, especially finding out that the game was developed Solo. The only reason why I give it a 4 stars is because of some kind of bug, whereas if the number of tickets every 100 minutes reduces from 10, to 8, and to 6. Will it keep decreasing like that? Anyway, great app!

It's actually nice. The story the plot the music everything is just nyc. You will feel the love and the friendship and care from characters through screen. From the starting to end the thrill and excitement or suspence of what going to happen next was there....no extra character no extra dialogues.... everything is perfect....also..really touchy stry and fells like a movie. Really got attach and emotional with it...it's just fab. I recommend to play.

I just want to say that this was the best interactive story I've ever played. The storyline was absolutely wonderful and the way the description of the events and actions in the game was perfectly mirrored was superb. The sounds and songs added to the effect making it seem realistic. It was a touching and magical story and also very mysterious in a wonderful way . It teaches every one to never give up and maybe just somewhere there's still hope ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Well done sideways studio!!!👍👍

To keep things short: the story was quite unique and overall great. I was also perfectly satisfied with the ending. There are, however, things that could use some improvement. The writing is—while descriptive—amateur most of the time. That's not to say I expect published novel-level stuff from this game, but I do think you should at least fix the typos. There's also the matter of (unintentionally?) repetitive dialogue. I'd love to give a more detailed review, if not for the character limit!

What an amazing experience ☺️ Such an emotional and incredible story. Not what I was expecting I'm very glad I downloaded it. The story, characters the audio and visuals really brought the story to life for an immersive experience. Sure the text had a few errors but who cares about minor errors in a good story. I loved it! The ads were not too intrusive either but I paid £2.50 to remove them because the creators deserved some reward. Thank you 😊 Please do more 🙏

Story is very well structured and well written. OST is great. It was a nice touch to have visuals match the environment. The ending was... I know what it was doing. A few parts of the ending weren't my speed, but that is okay. It doesn't take away from the fact that the story is great and if the developers do another, I would support it.

Overall a well written story and quality product. Time decently spent, and a experience that will stick with me. Only critic I had was the ticket system. I feel the long term interest of an average freemium consumer seeing their story through to the end before being run off by add breaks could be solved by upping the ticket distribution count. I got them in a 6 set, but I feel 9 to 10 is the more time to story appropriate count. I loved it and I hope to see more!

I throughly enjoyed this game although it was more reading then playing ... and it was refreshing to not be bombarded by ads every 2 minutes. I didn't even mind watching the ads to continue they weren't super long and it didn't take hours to to wait in between. I give this a full 5 stars. Excellent job !! if anything was to change I would ask for it to possibly be more interactive playing.

Overall I had a very positive experience with this game and would love to give it a higher ranking. Unfortunately there were some translation errors were some sentences didn't make sense, this was rare and several times where dialog boxes would repeat 3 to 4 times or just be blank. Aside from that I found the game very immersive, all the characters likable and believable. The music and sound affects add to the immersion and are not invasive. Voice acting varies.

It's actually good. Definitely should be finished atleast once. The ending I didn't understand much BUT the rest of the story is amazingly well written it could have easily worked for a unforgettable movie. I kept coming back because I wanted to know what would happen next. The adventure and how the characters develop it was perfect. This game is the best at writing and it doesn't seem to get bad. Sure ads but it's free so it's fair. Ads ignored I highly recommended downloading it.

This isn't really a game, but a visual novel. "Choices" don't really affect the story. After the prologue, you don't have to pay, but I chose the $4.99 for to open the whole story now. I watched Well worth it - no more than a book on a reading app. After the tragic beginning, I almost wanted to quit, but I was too interested in what was going to happen next. Glad I kept going. Great story. Well written. Very much enjoyed it. Loved the ending.

WOW! What an incredibly well-written and moving story. The voice acting, sounds, music and artwork were all exceptionally beautiful and successful tools of immersion. Well done to all who contributed to this projects creation. The only thing I would tweak a bit would be the options for more path diverging choices. Even without, this visual novel/game/experience was stellar and very much enjoyed! Thank you. Don't have money ATM but intend to donate as soon as I'm able.

Engrossing story, complex characters. Like a Choose Your Own Adventure story, but more depth, added bonus of cool sound and visual effects. Mysterious and thrilling, but also has some soul to it. Characters are flawed (in a good way!) yet likable to some extent. Rec to anyone wanting a great story with cool visual/sound FX to really immerse you. Loved the ending. Don't want to spoil it, so I'll just say it ended in a less dark way than expected. A nice change from all the dark stories out there

I was looking for a new text game after finishing Duskwood (I fell in love with) I thought I would try this one. It wasn't what I had expected because its a lot more of a story where you decision you make change the story but there are no mini games you have to play to continue. Not having to play mini games to continue make this even better. The storyline in interesting and it keep you wanting to continue. I hope they have more of the same. oh and the whole thing is free.

Instead of a game, I would call this an interactive immersive reading experience! It was amazing! It's like those choose your own adventure stories but enhanced with music, art, sound effects, and a little speaking from a few characters. I don't pay for intangible gone in less than a minute energy or coins or what have you in games. However, I would pay for this. I feel like it's paying to see a movie or buying a book. I hope they come out with more soon. A revolutionary reading experience!

This game is next level! By far the best of the genre, I've played similars before like Duskwood but this one is outstanding, very congrats to the developers, I'm surprised how much this game is underrated, play it, you won't regret! Amazing and imersive experience, ambient sounds, unique soundtrack,not to mention the wonderful story. No mini games, just a few ads, and very small price for premium version considering the high quality (it really surprised me), can't wait to see your next games!

my GOSH! the most amazing story I ever read!!! I'm crying, it's too beautiful. it's not too interactive but if it was it would change the story and I feel like the story can't really be changed too much. if there was a way to make it more interactive then it would be a phenomenal experience. I still give it 5 stars cuz the story really is the most fantastic story Ive ever read!
