Much like the story, I'm wondering why I pushed the button. – One Button Travel Review

Interesting concept with real time messaging, but as a game it just doesn't bear out as well as it could. Not only do the choices have no impact on what happens, but the choices you're asked to make are often inane. And while the timing seems like it would be interesting, it just drags on, makes me hang around my phone, and leaves me plenty of time to write App Store reviews. If they want to pull this game off without doing a massive rewrite, the pacing should increase as the game goes on and you get more invested. If you forget it's a game and assume they're going for an interactive novel, the writing is terrible. The writing should be rewarding enough on its own--but writing is hard, so I guess they didn't want to figure that out. It feels much like an Internet fanfic come to life. I'm mostly just sticking around because the narrative isn't terrible and I'm suffering from "sunk cost syndrome." I've liked other games similar to this but this one just doesn't get much right.
