4.5 Stars; Endings a concern

A few minutes ago, I finished my first playthrough of the Fatehaven ‘choose your own adventure’-style app. I enjoyed the experience, to my surprise. Despite a lack of lore and mythos, the writers did a fantastic job creating a framework for the story so my imagination could fill in the blanks. Even though there were a few grammatical errors, I found the world believable and the characters likeable. Overall, the first 80-90% of the story was awesome. My only issue was how my first playthrough ended. Without spoiling things, the ending I got depicts the story reaching a crescendo with the rescue of a damsel in distress, introducing an even bigger threat to the world in the story, forcing the player through an unexpectedly mind-boggling plot mechanic, then *poof* -it’s done. No facing the bigger threat, no explanation of what just happened, nothing. It’s almost like skipping the last big battle scene of ‘Return of the Jedi’: one minute Luke meets Darth Vader and the Rebel ships are heading into battle, the next minute sees the Emperor dead and the Death Star destroyed. Technically the transition might work, but it leaves way too many details and explanations out and a LOT of questions unanswered. I realize a project like this is a massive amount of work for the developers. I applaud how they were able to make the player’s choices seem to matter to the story and how they were able to create a believable world. I recommend playing this game if you have a few bucks burning in your pocket. I’m very interested in playing again, but I’m hesitant to do so if the other five endings are like that. Developers: Please, please fix the endings!
One of the best "Choice" games I've played

Just a fascinating choose your own story. What choices you make that don't have an impact on the outcome do have an impact on how your character acts and thinks, which is a big plus in terms of immersion, and the ending is great.
Best hosted game I've played

This game isn't perfect, but I enjoyed it the most out of any in this genre because the choices seemed more reasonable to what I would actually choose. Worth it.
Great!

Fun story to read. I enjoyed the author's sense of humor and the plot of the story. I'm happy with my purchase. One of the better choice stories I've read.
Amazing... Plus flaws

I LOVED this game the characters are unique and funny, extreme replay value ( have fun finding all of the dialogue variations), and the story line is rather intriguing if I say so myself; however, I think that the stat mechanic is to basic. At 55% resourcefulness I passed every single resourceful test I had, ( conversely I failed every single faithful test at 45%) I think that the stat system needs to be more complex than just is it above 50%. A different problem ( more of a personal thought really) is the romance subplot, I see this in every single choice of games release a lack of a multiple partners option. I want to feel as if I am the protagonist and I want to deal with the effects of my actions, in the world or in my character's personal relationships. I would like to see an option where I could convince Brigid AND patch AND Silvia to date my character ( not an easy brain-dead dialogue option mind you, but a grueling drawn out process that takes surgical precision to accomplish or a social hand grenade goes off in your face.) in summary this is an awesome game that has some very human flaws, but is a gem that any role-playing fan would enjoy.
Amazing

Storyline was great and played out well. Enjoyed playing it several times over. I would like a continuation of this story or an extension to the love life. It did feel kind of cut short in the romantic feel. Each romantic side of this story is there but I felt as though there was something lacking. Not sure what it was but it wasn't there. This does not distract from the story in the least.
