The chapters seem to be random talking and don't connect from one to the next. Plus it's not even a full book. Says new chapters will unlock soon so have to wait to see if the book ever makes sense.
This app is really something. From the delivery of the story to the short clips to the story are really thought out. Expect great things in future chapters.
What a mind trip! Simply incredible! I can't wait for part 2! This is the way stories should be told! A stunning, enthralling, addicting edge of your seat story that keeps you coming back for more and wanting to know what happens next!
Absolutely stunning. If you are on the fence about buying this app, choose take the dive, you will thank yourself later. Never have I been more mesmerized by an app. I only wish I paid for it, and I will keep an eye out for ways of supporting this team. I will spend hours delving into the secrets it has. Anything less than 5 stars indicates the rater did not want to understand the app, but it is the best gem I have ever found on the store. Any description, no matter how eloquent and positive, does this story injustice. My attempt would be to call it enigmatic, engaging, enchanting and absolutely immersive. It is ecstatic poetry come to life. Please, continue your profound work. I want to see this series succeed. And what a marvelous start indeed. Wow. Thank you for this gift.
It's hard to describe. It's not like anything I have ever experienced. I felt scared, happy, afraid, and shocked. You have to experience it to understand. I can't really explain it. I don't like reading books and I couldn't put this down. If all books were like this I would read every day. Trust me on this you need this app it's outstanding, you will not be disappointed.
PRY is a poignant, thought-provoking narrative that weaves the mechanics of interactive storytelling and fine cinematography into a work of art. It demands the reader to do more than read about main character's thoughts and memories - it makes you live it as if they were your own. I can't wait to read future chapters.
The concept of this app is interesting, and I think this type of media has potential, but it was confusing and was at the same time very finite and seemingly endless. I'd like to see something more coherent and cohesive done in a similar manner.
One of the neatest apps I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with, it's smart, really well done, it is art and story and thought provoking, wild, bravo! More please!
