Get the Steam version instead. The game is so fantastic that i also bought the Android version. However, the app loses the progress if you switch to another app, requiring you to restart the game from the beginning. This happened to me multiple times now and is severely annoying.

Q70%
by Q####:

It's a creative game but it is also rather insidious. One "threat" I scanned for was a water spirit that inhabited a little girl and "caused" her depression. I then preceded to "cure" her with "spiritual" fire. An artifact that further stigmatizes mental illness. Framing depression as possession is not just wrong its harmful and damaging to people who do have it.

Great text based game, a little short but worth replaying a few times to see all the different endings

D70%

This is an excellent choose-your-own adventure game. I loved it.

Yes, the game has some issues with input lag at times, but it is hands down the best texr adventure game I've played on my phone. I eagerly await future installments 9/10 would neuter shadow bunnies for the good of the neighborhood again. P.S. I did sell the game at Pax and while it was still great there this is definitely something to play with headphones in a quiet room.

I wish some of the games endings had a bit more to them, but I still had a lot of fun.

Control problems have been mended and I can freely protect those that created me! 10/10

After the most recent update, the game lags like hell: there's a several second pause between a screen touch and an action occurring.

Wonderful game. I have spent the better part of the day playing it and I fully intend to keep doing so. There is a great replayability factor here and it keeps me wanting to go back and get everything right. It's a game that will let you win... without really winning. Where you have won, but you know that you can go back and do better. If you've got a couple of hours to spare it's definitely worth the time and money to give it a go. The characters are super engaging. they make you just enjoy talking to them. Some of the back and forth between characters is just witty and feels like it was a conversation I could have had with one of my own friends in real life.

I liked my first time playing through it; however, I do not know how it will turn out to be on my second time. It doesn't seem like it has a lot of replay value, but I can be wrong.

X70%
by X####:

Only complaint I have is that the story is a bit short. However, it is incredibly engaging and there are so many choices that the replayability makes up for that. The characters are great, the premise is unique and fun, and seeing things through the eyes of a developing ai was really cool.

C70%
by C####:

I just love this. The premise is so unique and interesting, the characters are lifelike and the choices you make make a big impact. And there are a great variety of choices to make. My only complaint is that I wish it were longer!

Y70%
by Y####:

Extraordinary. I was restless before going to bed and so opened it up to take a look. Four hours later I'm still playing with my girlfriend leaning over my shoulder to watch, breathless.

K70%
by K####:

I haven't been gripped by a game in such a way in a long time. I felt if I failed, it would affect me in real life.

X70%
by X####:

I downloaded this game expecting a relatively simple computer based puzzle game, but actually playing it, (and don't get me wrong, the game itself is simple,) I found myself very quickly getting very attached to the characters, and the story was fantastic. More games should be like this.

I had the privilege of beta testing this and it has only gotten better since then. I can't recommend this highly enough.

I normally don't bother to do much more than rare an app. This one deserves more. It's simple and easy to play, easy to understand without a techy background (though I have one) and the story is beautiful. I laughed, I cried (repeatedly) and I enjoyed every second. It draws you in and never lets you go. It makes you feel. Buy this game, it's worth every penny.

I cannot adequately put into words the amount of feels this game provokes. The storytelling is beautiful and evocative, the learning curve is very quick, and the narrative holds up to multiple playthroughs.

X70%
by X####:

This pulled me in a lot faster than I expected. The narrative flows well, and the characters you interact with have just the right kind of detail to make you feel for them, root for them. I hope there's a sequel, the world built here leaves so many possibilities to expand upon.

by X####:

It's great, I just wish the app would run fullscreen. Seeing the status bar at the top with an all-black interface is annoying.

Did not disappoint. Clearly made by a fate writer.

Absolutely loving it so far! The intriguing story makes it difficult to put my phone away.

This game is absolutely fantastic. I am so glad I downloaded it. Well written, with a fascinating concept, and a simple design that is still incredibly captivating.
