Fictif: Interactive Romance Wiki

So far I’ve only played a few chapters for Two Against The World and I am really drawn to the world and mystery of the character and what’s going to happen in the story. Just realized there’s only one route out so far, but I’m playing Last Legacy on another device and that one is also incredible with world exploration and character backstory. These chapters are certainly not for bingeing in one go. I collect the daily stars every day for a period of time, and in time I can rack up enough for an enjoyable experience with the premium choices. Each chapter probably takes almost 100 stars...? It takes a bit of time to get that since we have 28 stars every 5 days. Truthfully, this game requires patience if you’re not able to pay, but I don’t mind that. The story is just wonderful to read, and it’s understandable that game developers need income just as us fellow players do... I’m okay with having patience when there are games that require $30 cost upfront anyway. Each chapter with all the paid options was probably a 10-15 minute read or so? I wasn’t really timing it, but yea. I get the criticism but I still love the content and want to support the creators. 🙌

So, here’s the story. I downloaded The Arcana quite a while ago and fell in love with the beautiful story, music, and art. When I found Nix Hydra had released another game, I was psyched!! And to my great joy, it did not disappoint. The stories are SO immersive! I am a music freak, and the music that plays in the background of each story is wonderfully composed and enhances each story uniquely. The art takes your breath away. The characters are relatable in their own ways, and you can’t help but feel like you are actually in the story with them. To sum it all up, I am obsessed!! 🙌 I only have two suggestions to make playing experiences that much greater. First, I am a student, so I don’t have much money to spend on stars. I will, don’t get me wrong, but maybe the team could add some features (like in the stand-alone Arcana app) like daily log-in bonuses or the choice to watch a video ad? More options for free stars would be MUCH appreciated! ❤️ Also, replaying entire routes gets a little tedious. I like the option The Arcana gives of replaying just a single chapter and buying the chapter/book with coins so I don’t have to wait for hourglasses to replay it. Other than that though, this game is utterly amazing and definitely worth a try!! 10/10 would recommend!

Their arcana game and this one have their similarities with the hourglasses/keys and the stars/coins. But the games are different in the best ways! With arcana, the routes are all connected, but with Fictif, there’s different storylines with 3 routes each! They’re each exciting and unique; there’s so many options and so many ways to enjoy each story. I didn’t know how I was going to feel about this one, but I’m pleasantly surprised with how much I love this game. With the hourglasses, it’s easier to pace yourself and enjoy it! It’s easier to get the star options, as well as different ways to get stars. I was worried about it, but I’m super impressed how easier it is to get the star options in Fictif than the coin options in arcana! It’s interesting and addicting, I can’t wait for more updates!

I can tell this game has much potential in it and more to come, I love almost everything about it, the art style, plots, characters, music. I can tell this game has been worked very hard on and I appreciate everyone who worked on this app to make it what it is. But in The Arcana you had ways to get coins and keys by spinning the wheel or doing the town thing (sorry I forgot the name) and I think that was really helpful especially for the people who can’t pay online or don’t have enough money. And I would really appreciate it if there were more ways to get stars then by having to use money and pay for them, I did notice that when you finish an episode or prologue you get 3 stars but you could play every introduction and path and still not have enough stars to play one of the games and get every star choice. So if you could please add more ways to get stars without having to just pay that would make the game even better then it is and help out a lot of people, maybe you could make some days where you have infinite stars like how in The Arcana you can have infinity keys! I really love this game and I expect more in the furture that can make this game even better! Keep up the good work! 🙂☺️

Like most people, I tried this game out because I love Arcana and I wanted to see what else Nix Hydra had to offer. It’s a cute game, the writing isn’t always excellent but it’s better than most story apps I’ve played. Tbh the only story/route I care enough about to use stars (the in-game currency) on at this point is Sage’s route in Last Legacy, so it should be easy enough to save up for that. But for people who actually want to try more options for free, maybe adding a wheel or ad watching option would be nice? You get stars for completing a chapter for the first time, but once you’ve got all those, there’s no real way to continually save up stars. Also, while they made it so you can replay routes, you have to start all over, you can’t just replay a specific chapter. It saves your purchases, but still... starting all over just to replay one chapter is kinda annoying. Aside from that, it’s a fun game; try it out if you like interactive story apps and keep in mind that it’s still a work-in-progress so the features aren’t all perfected yet :)

Love the current story I’m reading taking place in the 1920’s however the other stories didn’t really catch my attention, and now I’m just waiting for this one to be updated (which isnt expected until march) I understand developers need time, but its aggravating that I’m gonna have to wait a month to get to the next chapter, and I can’t replay the older ones. Also, the story (or maybe stories I’ve only read the first chapter of a few and all 4 of Nicky) they jump quite a bit. There’s a lot of loss in the stories, and Nicky’s is only 12 long (with 4 already out) I feel like they can definitely be stretched to provide a longer & more detailed game play. I also noticed on one part of Nicky’s even when you choose a choice they still mention something else (I would go in detail, but again I can’t look back or replay it). The story so far is good, but it jumps a little & is short if I’ve already gotten through 1/3 of it and just got the app yesterday using only the energies of That Night I got it.

I’m loving this new cast of immersive games!! As soon as I saw that Nix, the same one that made The Arcana Game, I jumped to check it out! All of the stories are fun and different which I adore but there are a few things that bummed me out. I don’t want to compare it to The Arcana Game too much but since it’s my favorite one, it’s hard not too, haha. I really think players will have a better time if there is a rewards system to gain stars and hourglasses. More than that however I was really bummed that we couldn’t go back to certain chapters or even the prologue chapter! I really want to replay them and see different options, I’ll happily give my hourglasses for that!! It makes me sad thinking that I have to wait all the way for the end of the story to possibly go back to different points in the story. I think it would make the playing experience more fun! Anyway, great work on these games so far! My favorites are definitely, Two Against the World and Last Legacy! I can’t wait to see more! <3

It’s a really fun game and all and its super addictive.... I’m currently on the story Last Legends when something catches my eye, I see that once you reach chapter 6 there’s no more chapters. But anyway all I’m trying to say is that can you plzzz make a seventh chapter for each of them or better yet conjoin the story and decide which person you would choose or better yet just continue the story line. Last Legends is my favorite story on the app( only because I love love, action, and romance) and will gladly read it again and again. Secondly, I’m heartbroken when I want to desperately do something and it costs stars. I would really appreciate it if you wouldn’t put stars on all the romantics choices in the story. And third of all, I just want to ask( and beg) that you plz reduce your time on getting hour glasses. It is very frustrating when you have to wait 9 HOURS for three hourglasses. Side Note: It would mean a lot to me if you read this review and considered fixing these problems. Bye🤗

Just 3 days into this app and i’m already in love with it! It has so many intriguing stories, and so much potential. My one problem is though how hard it is to earn stars. In other games i’ve played similar to this, there where daily quests, log in gifts, wheel spins, or mini games. But as far as i know there’s little to no way other than to buy stars. I think a good idea is to where you could add a feature to where you could watch a few ad’s to earn stars, it’s not a bad idea and is easy to make revenue off of! I also adore the idea of having wheel spins, or daily log in gifts. Anything I could do as long as I could earn a few free stars would be fine! I sincerely hope you think about adding this feature later on, and once again I absolutely LOVE this app! I really hope it takes off even more than it already has. Thanks for reading!! 😌

I love how queer friendly the Arcana and Fictif are. Honestly when I could pick my pronouns and get responded to as they/them I cried so hard that I felt seen in a romance game. It’s honestly everything to me! I’m a little bit worried though that out of all the routes and stories that are being offered the women are the last ones to get a route. We finally have Anisa with one chapter, but that came later and the routes getting priorities are the male lead routes, it’s a little bit disappointing. I’m really excited by this app and I can’t wait to see it develop more into its fully realized goals. It still feels like it’s in beta mode and that’s okay. I hope Fictif can continue its queer friendly space and give us some non-binary characters to romance one day. I will support you all until the end! Keep up the great work! <3

Gender-wise and Genre-wise, this has something for everyone. I really love Last Legacy. I’m mostly enjoying Chava’s route in Heir to Love and Lies, but the writing of the unpaid routes that just skips ahead feels pretty sloppy in comparison to other Nix Hydra stories. It feels forced so, I won’t spend money on his route. (I have spent money on Last Legacy, which has solid storytelling even if you choose the unpaid answers.) However, I would much rather have fewer storylines at a time and have complete routes released at once. I really like a lot of Nix Hydra’s work, but the model of releasing stories chapter by chapter means I lose interest before a story is finished. (For the same reason, I read the Arcana’s Intro when it was brand new, deleted the app, and later started the routes once they were all completely released.)

I wanted to love this game. It is full of interesting stories, fun character designs, and pretty artwork, and I already love Nix Hydra's other choose your own story game, The Arcana. With high hopes, I even sank a hundred dollars into stars at the beginning, only to find that they ran out with no way to replenish them. With intermittent updates to the stories I'm invested in, and no minigames to earn stars or interact with the characters and no way to go back and reread the parts I had unlocked with hourglasses, I fell out love with it. Unlike the Arcana, I can't stay invested, I can't feel like I'm earning what I put my cash into, I can go weeks without even thinking about the game. After months (especially where characters react with disappointment whenever you choose a non-star choice) I finally gave it up and uninstalled it, because I can't repeatedly shell out hundreds of dollars for a story where I feel coerced to take half of my choices.

I have liked this dev team since their work on the Arcana series. Compared to the Arcana series, the stories in this app are rather mediocre; it feels like you are being railroaded into a romance, rather than one being built naturally over time. The stories themselves are interesting, and I enjoy them and look forward to reading more. However, the biggest complaint I have is continuity. Even if you don’t choose the premium choices, the stories move forward on the assumption that you did. This is a BIG problem for me, and I think it should be fixed ASAP. For example, in Heir to Love and Lies, even though I didn’t spend the night with Sergio in the hotel, the story continued as if I did. This was never a problem in the Arcana series. And frankly, I wish that they finished the Arcana series before starting a series of new stories. Still, I hold this team in high regards, and look forward to their future work.

Got this app cause I saw advertisements on Instagram about the option to romance female characters. Rarely ever do I see a story game where there are female love (FL) interests, so of course I was pretty excited to play it. Only to find out that this game completely prioritizes the male love interest stories above basically all of the FL interests. In fact, there’s only ONE FL interest available out of all the stories. And she has the least amount of chapters, too. It’s embarrassingly obvious that the creators of the app don’t really care about the female routes since nearly every male route has many chapters, as well as two male love interests per story, as opposed to the one female love interest route (that you can’t even play because they haven’t even released their routes), aside from the singular FL Anisa, who only has two chapters released. Wouldn’t really care as much about the lack of options if they hadn’t advertised the FL interest in the first place. And considering this game has been out for 1-2 years (I think?) and the max amount of chapters for a singular FL interest is 2, I’m not expecting much to change. Disappointing, really liked the art and the story. I suppose if you enjoy ML interests, this would be great for you. But the hype I had for the game, only to be left with disappointment is just too great for me to give this anything but a one star.
