I was just writing this review and I accidentally click cancel, so I won’t write much. This app is amazing and breathtaking! Each story has meaning and I completed 3! I just noticed this app this year and I also noticed that the last update was a year ago. I don’t know what happened to the app, but most reviews here are old. For the cost of tickets needed to respawn after you die, it’s not like that anymore. My tickets won’t refill and I don’t know if it is supposed to be like that, but I have to watch an ad every time I read the next part, which is not a big deal. I love the music and the first book was really scary. The second was not so scary, so it calmed me down. The third one was not scary at all and I can relax while reading it. I want more stories and I’m wondering what happened to the developers. Well, I’m going to start the 4th book and this is my favorite story app so far. Full of puzzles and mystery! Edit: I just realized you get 4 free stories and for the tickets, you have to wait an hour and watch an ad for. My experience was amazing and if I buy the Gold Membership, accessed by clicking the plus button next to tickets and scroll your way down, you will get new stories each month, plus unlimited tickets for $2.99. I’m broke so I have to delete this app, but it is a really good adventure and mystery app! ~ Kelly P.S. I really want more stories!

About halfway through atm, so many things I love about this game . The graphics are detailed but simplified in a beautiful way that i find very pleasing, the settings are rich and varied. The storytelling is compelling and the dialogue well written. The controls can sometimes be frustrating but work pretty good overall. Soundtrack is subtle but peaceful, and turns suspenseful in the games darker moments. The premise of the story is refreshingly unique and very interesting. Also - and this is big for me - you do not have to shell out real $ to play or unlock anything - you just occasionally (every half hour or so) will have to wait a set period (15-60min) to advance in the game and usually have to watch just one 10sec ad. If you like interactive, rich and nuanced storytelling and enjoy a puzzle aspect I highly recommend this game!

This is a amazing game so I don’t know what those people who rate it 3 star are saying this is the best good job👏 also when get the golden membership dose that mean you don’t need to buy any tickets or..........to be far the amount the tickets cost and the each story only last about 5 minutes so if the golden membership doesn’t mean you won’t have to buy any more tickets then I might as well not buy it and it take a while for the tickets to come back I’d have better luck watching paint dry but it is an amazing story/game and that’s the only reason it’s getting a 5 star so I hope hope and hope I don’t have to buy more tickets so ya il be back later.....EDit never mind the time isn’t that long fifty minutes not that along so grate job on the development 😇

So I have to say that the graphics and the game itself, a new story every week is a great concept, and the plot of every story is amazing, it’s such a unique game, I can’t be too naive but to say that this game has great potential, it’s really just asking for money, which I understand for so much hard work, but I think it attracts less people the further they get into it, I was stunned about the game so much, I had to show all of my friends, but the tickets kind of just get in the way, I don’t mind waiting for an hour to continue, but it’s more than 2 times in one short story, this is a great organization, and I enjoy your game, please decrease the time of when u have to wait to continue the story, or just put ads at every story right after you finish so that you at least get currency from your work, I can’t ask for much, but I wish you understand my statement and review, fun game overall, I’d have to say this is one of the top 10 best mobile games based on my experience. Thanks for reading!

Updated: The devs appear to have worked out the issue so I have updated my score back to original 4 stars. As a buyer of the original game, the below is true about the first story that is now for free for everyone. I was initially irritated after the last update as it broke the game for me. The second episode now works properly so I will be playing through that shortly. I don’t expect it to be very long either but if the below review is any indication of the quality then it should be good. Original review of the first episode: So the game is short. Period. No shying away from that fact. With that said, unlike a lot of other players I found some solid meaning of relationship and fear relating to day to day life here. The idea of being so wrapped up with life that you forget family and meaningful relationships really resonated with me as up until recently, I was a lot like the main character (minus the supernatural dream business). If you can get past the short length and linear story which is the reason for the 4 stars and not 5, this game is great. Awesome graphics with a really great style in both the visuals and soundtrack. I really enjoyed this story and what the devs were looking to portray. Really hit home with me and gave me a feeling of joy for the people that I have lost in my life recently and for those that I have let slip into the ether. Great experience more so than a game.

I always love the stories you guys write and the play through is fun and engaging. You also interact a lot with the characters which I love. However the game is highly glitchy. If you aren’t on your device, the time for the tickets stop. The time only ticks down if you are doing something else on your mobile device. I also wish that you kept all of the old stories with the old characters as well. Don’t get me wrong I love Salem academy but I miss Daniel. It would be great if you kept every story that was ever on the game in case someone wanted to replay because it was so good. The other glitch is that after a certain amount of ads you watch to gain tickets, you can’t watch them anymore. I truly don’t feel like waiting an hour just to play the next episode. I would love if you fixed that as well. Thx

This game is beautifully designed & carried out, no doubt. But to be able to watch a full story you need tickets. Don’t worry you can buy a monthly subscription that gives you infinite tickets! But oh wait... You need diamonds to be able to make any interesting choices in some of the stories (The Awakening & The Secret aren’t like this as much, but the other 2 definitely are). And the diamonds will cost you more than even the monthly subscription if you want to pick all the interesting choices. I think they have great, interesting storylines built up for these mini-stories. But they have you spend so much just to get to the story’s full potential that it kinda kills the overall experience. I won’t be continuing to play it. If you don’t mind spending over $10/month to play a single full story that’ll last you about 20-30 min, then this is for you. Otherwise, I’d look elsewhere.

I really enjoyed the 20 minutes I was able to play this game. The art is great, the world is engaging, the gameplay is decent, and the dialogue is...ok. The thing is, you need to purchase “tickets” to be able to play, which are expensive and you need to do this every time you die, otherwise you get locked out for an hour before getting a single ticket after watching an ad. You will then immediately die and be right back where you were, not playing. I have never seen such an absurd model in any other game in my last decade of games. If each story were individually priced similar to Life is Strange, with bonus items or content available through micro transactions this would be a 4.5 star game easy. I understand games are expensive to make, and I gladly purchase micro transactions in games where you get additional value for your money such as ES:Blades, but when your business model directly discourages actually playing the game, I’m simply going to do that; not play. As others have mentioned, even if you get the $3.99/month subscription for unlimited tickets, you still need to purchase more expensive items to be able to actually make decisions and progress, again directly discouraging actually playing the game. I had very high hopes for this game, and for a gleaming moment it realized them, before slapping their anti-player business model in my face.

The first adventure is really really good if I were rating it off if just that it would be a four or five but the second adventure you lose a bit of immersion in the puzzles by essentially being handed a ‘skip puzzle’ button for puzzles that are probably the most enjoyable part. After the first time you then are asked to buy them. In the second adventure also you are allowed a companion at the beginning but then have to pay to keep them. The third adventure takes any illusion of choice away from you, you can either pay the in game currency for a logical decision or do increasingly stupid things offered for free. The fourth story follows this premise and this is as far as I go it feels like a cheap money grab every decision you make. That being said the graphics are lovely and the sound effects aren’t half bad. In as far as the plots go the first has a relatable protagonist struggling with something we all do. The second is a bit more niche but still overall good. The third honestly I think I hated possibly because this is where they lost the illusion of choice but I also found the protagonist rather annoying (you’d be better off skipping the third one entirely). I have not yet finished the fourth but as it stands it’s set up to follow the third. The controls are a bit clunky but workable.

This game is beautiful, and the stories are super thought-provoking and interesting. With that being said, I (as well as a lot of other reviewers I’ve seen) dislike the constant badgering of hour long intervals between gameplay. We’re all accustomed to ads, especially with such beautiful games being given to us for free, however there’s no specific reason we should be waiting an hour to play for 5 minutes in between each time period. It’s not like we’re waiting for our grass to grow in a farming simulator. I’d also like to add that I love the stories and I wish they didn’t end, I hope they have separate chapters or continuations for the same characters. ALSO, it is always true that free games will have in-app purchases, but I don’t think that a game should be allowed to say it’s a “multiple choice narrative game” if the only answers you’re allowed to pick are the free ones...lol. NOW with all that being said, I’d hate for the creators to take everything away since it is such a beautiful game, I just wish they’d stop being stingy with the power of their position. They’d probably have a 5 star app on their hands if they hadn’t.

It starts out pretty interesting and spooky but after a while of gameplay it says you need to wait an hour to get a ticket to continue. So you wait an hour but then you have to watch an ad. So ok fine, but then you use the ticket to play and moving forward, it’s only worth like 1 minute of game play and then you have to wait an hour for another ticket. Or you can pay to get tickets. seems like they’ll do anything to get you to buy tickets. You can’t even play the game properly if it’s one minute of playing per hour. The game also lets you choose answers that effect the story every now and then. The thing about this is that almost everytime, you have no choice but to choose the less fun option because the better choice costs gems. It costs so many gems and you have to buy them since there’s no way to earn them. That is super unfair since it’s basically forcing you to only have once choice or to pay money. What’s the point of asking then? I am not going to buy a bunch of gems just so the story can go another route. Seems like a cheap money grab but other than that the game has great graphics and storylines... just impossible to get through it if it’s just going to keep urging you to buy tickets and gems just to have a decent game play experience.

The publishers of this game should be ashamed. The game itself is wonderful, but that is completely ruined by the way it unabashedly extorts you for your money. Having to pay for a “monthly membership” for a single player game is an insultingly ridiculous money grab. If you don’t, then you have to pay money every time you die - and even if you DON’T die, you still have to pay money after a certain amount of time has passed. Based on other reviews, it seems like you’ll STILL have to keep shelling out money after unlocking everything with a membership, as the story presents you with choices to make and then charges you money for different choice options. Hey developers, here’s a reasonable plan: Keep all the hassles of the “pay by the hour/pay by the death/pay for your story choices” for the free version if you like, but for those of us actually willing to purchase a full version, charge what you want for it once and drop the membership garbage. One and done. In light of all this, you aren’t getting a single dime out of me. It’s heartbreaking, because even though this game is fantastic I know others will feel the same as well. Deleting the game now.

There’s a line early in the game when the main character is looking through Lexi’s things, and says, “Ambien, Prozac... Lexi’s a sedative abuser.” Those are prescription medications given by a doctor for a reason. Ambien is to help people with insomnia, and Prozac is an antidepressant medication used to treat Major Depression. Prozac isn’t even remotely a sedative, it actually gives you energy, but that’s beside the point. The writers decided to paint anyone who takes the medications prescribed by their doctors as junkies. Everyone who plays this game and reads this dialogue is getting yet another message that anyone who uses psychiatric medication is an out of control addict, and that’s a flat out lie. You’re having a negative impact on society. Please think about that. Would you call someone with insulin needles a junkie? Would you call someone who has to take blood pressure medication an addict? Psychiatric illnesses are real and destructive, and medications to treat them are a medical and social step forward, not backward. I hope to god you’re met with more empathy than you’re giving if you ever struggle with these issues.

This is a filthy excuse for a cash grab, if you play for free you will have no fun, that’s a guarantee. So a one time purchase for a game wouldn’t be bad right? Well instead of a one time purchase this game offers a subscription service, for mediocre, offline, mobile adventure game with tap to interact gameplay. After you pay a monthly fee you still cannot play the full game without additional micro transactions of gems that give the player additional choices to actually make the game an “adventure” game. This is an example of every sinister money making mechanic in one convenient place! This is the magnum opus of mobile garbage that passes for a “game” on the App Store. Go buy a real game or download a better free game. Or maybe pay for a Netflix subscription because it would probably round out to the same price with much better content! Please, for the love of god, don’t give this developer any of your money and stop supporting these cancerous business practices that prey on dopamine releases and other psychological factors to nickel and dime players to death!
