Good but not finished
lwberry
This is a great experience, but it is incomplete. Chapters 1, 2, & 6 are the only ones available. If it was actually complete I would probably give it 5 stars but if you're expecting a full experience, wait until all chapters have been released.
Incomplete and incoherent

The amount of effort and work that went into this app is impressive. Unfortunately it falls short. The story is incomplete, chapters 1,2 & 6? What happened to 3-5? The story is extremely confusing to follow. The "interactiveness" of chapter 6 convoluted the story so much I just gave up on PRY altogether.
Beautiful and innovative storytelling

Pry is neither an ebook nor a game, though it shares features with both. It is an entirely new genre that takes full advantage of the possibilities of the touchscreen interface to tell a story. Melding beautiful visuals with an intriguing mystery, it draws the reader into its narrative through a series of interactive scenes that use the reader's eager fingers to pry out the story and its subtext. It's immersive, thought-provoking, visually and sonically rich, and produced completely independently. This feels like the future of storytelling -- a must-read for anyone interested in the changing nature of the book.
Formidably original, brilliant

The best artistic/interactive experience I've had on iPad over 5 years. Makes great use of writing, visuals, and the phone/tablet interface to tell a story brilliantly. The story gets bigger and smaller like an accordion when you pinch or expand, all the while remaining evocative and coherent. Thus you end up reading different versions of a story (the themes and mystery is common to all ), and see accompanying, associative visuals (reminiscent of Brakhage movies). The story is of military trauma, unrequited love, and unexpected violence, and feels utterly authentic and relatable. Kudos devs, you took interactive, storytelling to new, unprecedented heights.
Astounding

This artistic piece will be the catalyst for great things from other creative minds.

Absolutely "FANTABULOUS" I loved every moment spent on this app. I hope there are more.
Beautiful and poignant

This is the future of e-books and interactive media. The video clips are beautifully done, the story is moving and well written, and the interactive controls are smooth and intuitive. You will get as much from this story as you are willing to give to it, which is likely the reason behind some of the low reviews. If you are looking for a quick read with everything spelled out for you, this is not for you. It makes you think, work together pieces of the story for yourself, and is often cryptic and disjointed. You really feel as if you are looking inside someone else's mind as it is unraveling. Bravo. I can't wait for the next chapters to come out!
Absolutely Magical

I didn't know anything like this existed. It's genius. I think I'll get totally lost in it. I'm already hoping they'll make more stories. Thank you.
Groundbreaking

Immersive, eerie and intriguing. Keeps popping into my head at odd moments. Non-linear storytelling that manages to remain fairly intuitive so the mechanics are non-intrusive.
