Story keeps me coming back!

This isn't a highly technical game but the story keeps me coming back! Easy to play and I can play anywhere. I am a casual gamer and this storyline is perfect to keep me interested and continually moving forward.!


Simple yet pulls you in

This story fills your imagination and brings you back to a time where monsters were real. You're not going to want to leave Finn hanging too long. 10-4.


Fun times in 89

My son and I have really enjoyed the story, together. We've been reading it at night, and he loves that we get to talk to Finn and make decisions in the story. This game reminds me of the great choose your own adventure series. It takes me back!


Enjoyable story-based game, sometimes forced
Strained75

I really enjoyed the game and I give it four stars. I couldn't give it five for two reasons. One, I don't feel like my decisions had much impact on the outcome. Two, the 80's references sometimes felt a little forced. That aside, a good story in game form, which, to me, made for a unique gaming experience. I hope the creator does more work like this to evolve both himself and the genera.


Really cool vibe

Simple yet continues to draw you in to the story line!!


Very entertaining!
wanderingwanzer

While I was talking to Finn it was so easy to picture what he was doing and how he was feeling. It was very original as it was almost like I was reading a fantasy/mystery book but I was able to interact with the main character! I loved the unpredictable ending too!


Holy Guacamole!

Really fun nostalgic game.


Love the nostalgia of 'choose your fate'

I gotta say, I quite like the fact that your choices have consequences… although I now hit a wall because I reached the end successfully… and cannot go back and see what other branches can happen going down a different route (sad really, because one fun thing in the 'choose your own adventure' series is going back to point x and choose choice #2 to see what could have happened)
