  • 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.

    • “I know there’s a meaningful response behind the final assessment made by the devs in the form of storytelling.”

    • “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 stuff 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'd personally have a better time.”

  • replayability
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game has limited replayability, primarily hinging on whether players want to involve friends or family for different experiences.
