Great game but developers Nov 2020 change makes expensive – Journeys: Interactive Series Review

I have played this game for about six months. At first you could watch ads and keep your cost of buying outcomes low. The game preys on your instinct to make the best choices for the hero or heroine. Each good choice costs a minimum of 20 crystals. Forty-four crystals cost $3.99 US dollars. You have to spend a minimum of 20 crystals every three episodes at minimum for a good outcome in the end. As a result after 10 groups of 20 episodes or 200 episodes it is a lot of money. Before the change this month the app offered the opportunity for you to watch 4 commercials and get four crystals. That way after 5 episodes you had 20 crystals and could choose a good outcome, keeping the expenditures reasonable. Now the app tells you only 1 commercial is available or maybe two, so it takes between 10 and 20 episodes to get a good outcome for one episode. Not enough for a good outcome and forcing you to buy crystals. It is not worth it in my mind. The graphics are nice and some stories are good, but there are spelling errors, grammar errors you will have to interpret. I finished one story but after what I had to pay to get through it will delete this app to avoid it.
