FUN

This is a very fun and cool app. The writing is very good and at times laugh out load funny. Give it a chance and you will be amused for few hours. Cant recommend it enough.

Great writing, cooperative dev.

Not only is the writing great, and the gameplay satisfying enough, but the dev is also very cooperative and fixes any reported bugs within a short period of time. Great!

Loved it!

Loved it! Hours of playtime and now theres a sequel!

Great for Experienced Players

Hienlein-esqe themes/prose, glimmers of witty banter, and the occasional smashing of the fourth wall make this a riveting and entertaining choose your own adventure. The writing can edge on immature at times and some portions of the script would have benefited from editing but thanks to the authors talent for story telling you will find yourself forgetting any such faults. This game is however not for cyoa noobs. An introductory to title needs extensive tutorials and information regarding point investment. When approaching this game you need to know how skills are used in games like this and must have already come to the realization that arbitrary choices or a shotgun method of character development will result in failure and frustration. If you have a background in tabletop RPGs and/or other cyoa books then you will get your moneys worth, otherwise you might end up with a broken iphone.

Unique and Well written

As a huge fan of pen and paper RPG game, Id like to say wow and thank you. Its superbly written, the art is striking and wonderfully fitting, I love the simple and effective dice combat system and think the replay value is massive. Please keep it up.

Like a real RPG

Or an old DOS adventure game... Writing is fantastic, music is great atmosphere, and its like having a DM dictate game to you (except you only get certain choices). I wish there were choices for dialogue (would involve more writing), and some alternative to the dice, because rolling skill checks on 2d6 is irritating. Same for combat. Very easy to roll bad and die. Still amazing, and Im only on the third chapter. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an adventure game but finding A Dark Room too tedious or difficult :-)
