    The reviews highlight the software as an invaluable tool for organizing and visualizing complex storylines, particularly for interactive narratives and branching dialogues. Users appreciate its feature-rich capabilities for storyboarding and plot flow management, making it a strong recommendation for developers and writers working on story-driven projects. While some features, like text export and localization, need improvement, the overall consensus is that it significantly enhances the storytelling process.

    • “It's a good program for organizing plot flow, dialog, and many 2D assets.”
    • “Creating conversations is a breeze, and enabled our writer to dive in and start hammering out the story.”
    • “If you need a platform to not only write a story but to also formulate plotlines and create branching conversations, while keeping track of who is where doing whatever, then this is an excellent resource.”
    • “Some stuff, like the export text option and lack of a proper localization system need work, but in general this tool is a must for all devs working on story-driven games.”
    • “It does not make games but it's designed to hold all the information on the narrative of a game or story/novel.”
    • “If you want/are designing a game or story that has a number of characters and plot points then this can easily be a program you will find indispensable.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report significant stability issues, including program freezes when attempting to save edits, which prevent access to older, functional files. Additionally, the integration with Unreal Engine 4 is criticized for being buggy and poorly supported, further exacerbating stability concerns.

    • “In fact, that is such a poor practice that if a problem happens, like trying to save some new template edits, it freezes the program and makes it unresponsive. You can't go back to an older file that actually works, and now every time you try to load your project and edit a detail, the whole program freezes.”
    • “Official Unreal Engine 4 support and integration is lacking. There's a plugin, but it's open source because they don't care about UE4 and don't want to support it. It's buggy as heck and is not being updated properly, with no branch per engine version.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users feel that Versions 2 and 3 of the product appear to prioritize profit over genuine improvements, leading to disappointment and a reluctance to invest further in future updates.

    • “Versions 2 and 3, in hindsight, seemed like cash grabs rather than true enhancements. This is another reason I just don't plan on spending any more money on this product, if it ever gets updated again.”
  • gameplay
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is criticized for lacking consideration for players who are involved in writing or creating game mechanics, suggesting it may not appeal to those with a deeper understanding of game design.

    • “But it's just not designed for anyone who either writes or creates game mechanics.”
    • “The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks depth, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “There are too many bugs and glitches that disrupt the flow of the game.”
