*Updated Review: Glitch*
I am on chapter 4, section 22, and there is a glitch which is preventing me from continuing. The options are "your spacesuit has been damaged", or "your spacesuit is intact". I cant click either. My character stats show I have 4/3 durability for my suit. Please fix this. I hate to take one of my stars away, but this is a very annoying glitch, and theres no work around other than restarting from a much earlier point in the game.
Review:
If you like sci-fi novels, game books, or both, then you will enjoy this. It finds the protagonist, floating in space next to a ruined space station. You dont have any options besides hoping to find a means of escape in the station. But your space suit is running out of oxygen, and your jet pack is nearly out of fuel. From there, things just seem to get worse. But if you are smart (and a bit lucky), you may just be able to stay alive. And, along the way you will learn more about what happened to you, as well as to the station, and be forced to make some interesting and thoughtful decisions along the way.
As for the writing, it is very well written for a phone game. I actually found it more engrossing than some of the paperbacks Ive read recently. My only complaint is that the characters seem a bit off at times (the protagonist is a real "macho" man, but apparently he had a very odd sense of humor before he was left floating in space). This detracted from the seriousness of the story a little. But overall, its quite well done, and best of all, I have yet to notice any typos!
Definitely recommended!
