Absolutely fantastic

Incredible use of the medium to give creative voice to a really cool urban fantasy/cyberpunk mashup. This really deserves to be well-known.
Absolutely astonishing storytelling

This game took my breath away. There’s a sense of a fearless imagination behind this that’s amazing and exciting. Can’t wait to see what else she’s working on.
Fantastic

It's a nice short story game with real emotional weight to it. I care about every character. The story is rich and there is a lot of replay value. The only app I've bought that was actually worth the 3 bucks I spent on it.
Fantastic and Unique

Saw this game at PAX West this year and after playing it I just have to say it's simply fantastic. The concept is unique and well implemented, and there's an amazing emotional depth that is quite surprising for a text based game. Very replay-able too! Amazing work.
Loved it

Heard about this game from a podcast about how they played it at PAX, so I decided to try it for myself. Far exceeds my expectations. Worth the price.
Utterly captivating

I cannot recommend this enough. The writing is evocative, the story is engrossing, and I couldn't stop thinking about it for days after playing through a couple of times. This update also fixes the lag that made the 1st version frustrating towards the end, so it's well-deserving of a 5⭐️ rating.
Wonderful story

I saw Open Sorcery at PAX and marked it on my "play later" list. I wish I'd picked it up sooner! I just stayed up way too late to finish it. Worth every penny.
Creative Gem!

Just when you start to think the App Store has become a boring morass of freemium clones, along comes a blinding original, brilliant game like Open Sorcery. The setting is fantastically crafted, the characters are compelling and the story is fascinating. The prose ranges from hilarious to philosophical to emotionally riveting while retaining a singular voice. But don't think Open Sorcery isn't interactive - the strategy/gameplay elements work beautifully. Thought provoking, distinctive, amazingly fun...can't recommend it enough!
