I LOVE IT TO DEATH BUT THERE’S A BUG

spiritsu

The game’s visuals, music, and overall story and writing are phenomenal. Absoultely amazing. Each route is so unique in it’s own way, despite being the same storyline. (Nadia’s my favorite!~) But I do have an issue. There is a bug in my game with the postcards in the Heart Hunter minigame. I am not sure if others have this issue, but, no matter how many times I read the cards, when I exit and re-enter, it will show me them all again as if they were new. I do hope this will be fixed in the next update. Thanks.


Greatest of this game type

I’ve played a number of these story games, and this is by far my favorite. The story is excellently written, and it is entirely captivating. The amount of work that’s crafted into each chapter makes this app the longest I’ve kept a game on my phone, and I have absolutely no intention of removing it. Probably the only choice game where I actually want to go back and read through stories I’ve already played.


pretty expensive

Ugh_Its_Bryson

love it, but as the title says, it can get immensely expensive if you want to choose any coin option. and buying the books is just, like jesus. i calculated all of nadia’s coin choices and it comes out to over 100 dollars (haven’t calculated the cost of every book for her so). idk how they’d fix it, maybe make it a paid game, pay 20 dollars for the whole game maybe. or free to play and allow you to buy full characters stories, so there’s no coin choices. not sure


Wonderful game..

However I do have a few complaints. One major complaint is how long it takes for keys to come back. Most games that have a ticket or key system to play, have the wait times set to anywhere between an 1 hour and 30 minutes per one key. This game however, has a 7 hour wait time for 1 key? Also the chapters are very short, which I could get over if there were a much shorter wait time for 3 keys. Waiting 7 hours to read one chapter that takes less than 5 minutes to read through is a bit much. My final complaint is the “special scene” prices. 100-200 coins per special scene, that’s a bit much. Not everyone is able to spend money on games, and a few dollars here and there may not seem like much, but for some people it’s actually a lot. If the special scene prices costed less coins I’d actually use my coins that were given to me at the start. I actually wouldn’t mind a button that would let us watch an ad for extra coins, keys, or a free spin. I play a lot of chapter based games and the majority offer bonuses for watching an ad or two with a click of a button. This way the game can stay pop up ad free, but also give the player a selective option to get a small bonus for watching an ad once in a while. All in all the game is very great. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous, the story is in capturing. A twist of mystery, magic, and romance. By far one of my favorite games that are chapter based.


So Problematic. Please Read!

This game looks beautiful at first glance and the writing is fairly good. However, the content slowly becomes PG-13 and is absolutely not suitable for 12 year olds. There's even a point where it shows a fully naked woman with her butt and back facing the viewer. The characters are often sexualized and put in inappropriate scenarios. There's lots of innuendos and scenes which are extremely inappropriate for children, which is the group that this game is marketed to. Regardless, there is still a large amount of adults who play this game who create content for the game that is also inappropriate. This would be fine, if the developers didn't show said content on the game's social media accounts, which children may see. Additionally, there are many racist stereotypes of the characters, such as an aggressive dark-skinned woman and a promiscuous brown man. It even goes so far as to contain actual slavery in which a white man was a previous slaver of a brown man. It's disgusting and I wish more people could look past the pretty art and alluring concept to see that it is inappropriate, racist, and not suitable for children to play.


Good but Upset af :(

If you do get money or pay for it, sometimes when you spend it, it still won’t give you what you payed for. Especially in heart hunter, I’m such a big lucio fan and I spent money to win his extra postcards, and they didn’t even give me the same postcards on the wheel that you spend at the end of the game to get your photos, really disappointing to spend time and money and not get what you’ve earned. Great game just, maybe make sure people get what they’re paying for? To people wanting the game it’s great I just don’t suggest playing the payed parts unless it’s storyline.


BAD DEVELOPERS!!!

Ew ew EW! This game is run by CREEEPYYY people... Look up why they’re problematic... it’s very shocking. VERY money hungry as well. Wish there was an lgbt friendly game. This has the facade of a lgbt friendly game, but the creators are mostly women with a fetish for male relationships... yikes


I love this game!

I love this game with all my heart, the characters look amazing, and have stunning personality’s. The game works perfectly, and the designs and art style makes this game even more beautiful. The only thing that I found challenging in this game, is to get more coins. Coins in this game help you unlock special senses, I wish there was a way to get coins easier, in stead of having a slim chance on the wheel of fortune. Other then that, this game is the perfect game to relax, and read. With amazing cliff hangers, that interest you to read more.


I LOVE THIS GAME,but

I love this game but it would be nice for there to be another way to refill your keys without paying money. But other then that this is an absolutely stunning game


Please make it possible to exit a chapter before finishing it.

I love this game. The art, the writing, the characters, everything about the story and creativity behind this game is fantastic. I’m in awe of the amount of time and effort that goes into creating something like this, and I think the art and story itself is wonderful. I think you guys are very generous for releasing this for free and having it setup to where you don’t technically have to spend real money to access everything. The only thing I would request an improvement on, other than possibly making coins slightly easier to gain, is to give us the ability to back out of a chapter once we’ve entered it. I have a floaty brain and my memory is awful and there have been plenty of times where I went to redo some chapters and accidentally gotten myself locked into a chapter I either wasn’t ready to read or had just read and didn’t need to read again. I honestly don’t even care if I still lose the key by exiting, just being able to back out at all would be fantastic. Like I said though, no issues at all with the creativity, story, and art aspects of the game. It’s very well done, very well put together, and the art is gorgeous. Absolutely stunning. Just those two mechanic changes feel like it would make things slightly more accessible, if that makes sense
