  • story
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is characterized by a personalized narrative that culminates in a mini story predicting the player's future, which many find engaging and eerily accurate. However, some reviewers feel that the overall experience lacks a cohesive storyline or cinematic elements, making it feel more like a quiz than a traditional narrative-driven game. While the final story is appreciated for its creativity, players express a desire for a more immersive and expansive storytelling experience.

    • “I know there’s a meaningful response behind the final assessment made by the devs in the form of storytelling.”
    • “However, I feel like the test resonates more with people personally than the horrorscope does; the test reflects parts of someone's personality, making it more believable than the horrorscope, which gives you a short story that's supposed to predict your future.”
    • “And then at the end, you get a little story they apparently put together from all your answers.”
    • “Horrorscope definitely feels like one of those old Quotev quizzes that take your answers and set you up with a short story that's catered to things you would relate to.”
    • “There's no real storyline or cinematic-esque elements in between that could make the game longer and more interesting either.”
    • “If this game took place in some form of 'story/fantasy/what if' setting, I would personally have a better time.”
  • gameplay
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging and detailed, while others describe it as boring and too similar to previous experiences. The atmosphere is enhanced by impressive background sounds, contributing to a sense of unease and curiosity. Overall, the gameplay offers an interesting quiz experience, though it may lack complexity for some players.

    • “Amazing gameplay.”
    • “I was submerged into the gameplay with the amount of detail.”
    • “This game overall does a very good job of creating a sense of not only unease, but also morbid curiosity and wonder throughout the gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay itself is very boring.”
    • “This was a pretty fun experience overall, though I feel like it was much too similar to the test in both gameplay and questions.”
    • “Another very interesting quiz, though perhaps a little simpler than 'the test', the background sounds are amazing, and slightly horrifying which only enhances the atmosphere they're going for with this gameplay style.”
  • replayability
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game has limited replayability, primarily hinging on the interest of friends or family trying it out for different responses. Its short duration and lack of varied content further diminish replay value, with the only potential for renewed interest lying in revisiting the game after a significant time gap to see if personal answers have changed.

    • “I'm not sure if there's much replay value to this, but I suppose you could see if your friends or family would like to try it as well and see what different answers they get.”
    • “Not sure about the replay value unless you were to change all your answers.”
    • “There's also the matter of this game just being so incredibly short, which is not helped by the fact that it doesn't even have any form of replayability.”
    • “No replay value here unless you have real friends or family you want to take the test or horoscope with as well... but it's short and semi-fun, though even more interesting.”
    • “The only replay value would be to wait several months, maybe a year, and see if your answers have changed by then.”
