    The story is generally well-received, characterized by a linear narrative that offers limited impact from player choices, primarily affecting statistics rather than the overall outcome. While the beginning features strong character development and engaging plotlines, the latter half is criticized for an anticlimactic ending and a sense of player frustration due to a lack of meaningful choices. Overall, the immersive world-building and entertaining storytelling are praised, though some players express disappointment over the pricing and the limited free content.

    • “The storytelling is good; there are no inconsistencies across the choices.”
    • “Where this game really shines is at the beginning of the story with good character development and plot.”
    • “I appreciate that this is not a story that I have read before, and choices in this story have real consequences.”
    • “The latter half of the story struggles in some ways.”
    • “The ending was lacking compared to the beginning of the story.”
    • “Despite the stats you gather, every action you make is turned against you and you will always fail at whatever you do, for the sake of the story itself.”
  • monetization
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express frustration over the monetization model, feeling misled by games labeled as "free" that ultimately require payment for full access. Many are open to ad-supported versions, preferring to endure ads rather than pay upfront costs, and they urge developers to consider more free options to enhance accessibility. Overall, there is a strong desire for a balance between monetization and user experience, with a preference for ad-supported gameplay over paywalls.

    • “I would love to play the full story if it were possible to make it free with ads.”
    • “It's a shame I won't be able to play the whole game because of in-app purchases, but it's still a great game, to say the least!”
    • “Thought it would be free with ads since the game is marked as free.”
    • “Post it up as 'free' and don't tell you it's only a demo. Very scummy; utilizing ads to make more money on free games. I wouldn't mind a 30-second ad every 3-4 pages personally.”
    • “Like your books, but why do most of them say free but cost money in the end? I would pay the cash if I could, but I'm in the real world where money is tight. I use these to escape reality; please make more free ones. I don't care how many ads stand in the way, and I understand that you use these to make a living or extra cash, but still, please consider making more free.”
