This story just really wasnt for me so I didnt find it worth my coin.. I was hoping it would be a mysterious adventure with twists and turns (cause it's about controlling time you know?), but it turned out to be VERY boring. But, hey, if you like soap operas and insurance, check it out.
It keeps making the choices without me actually choosing them. I'll be reading and scrolling then suddenly it just pops to the next page without me picking anything.
It was a amazing story. My only issue with it is not having save points, but going through the story is amazing. I only hope the next part comes out soon
Quite liked this one all things considered. Am a bit annoyed at the lack of option to save at any point but for the most part, I found the premise and the storyline quite enjoyable
I actually purchased this book. You are a normal person that suddenly gains the ability to stop time. What this story does well is sell the normal person part. Working for the life insurance company was kind of boring and the boss fights were somewhat anticlimactic. The characters in game are very well developed and the plot was good too. The author did a great job with world building and tying up loose ends at the end. Its got romance and replayability. Overall it's a good read.
I love it! There's so many different routes you can do! Two things I'd like to say though; Firstly, the relationship point system is somewhat inaccurate. Ex- The main character always treats their roommates as friends, even when they're labeled "enemy". Secondly, can you make a route where befriending Barnabas is possible? The most you can do at the moment is get him to trust you enough to be led to the scientist. The most relationship points I've gotten with him so far is "adversary (71)".
The writting is quite good and the story is enjoyable.
good story not that many love interests or character interactions boring at times
this really needs a sequel. one of my favorite Choice games
great game. came here from zombie exodus, and expected the same. a little bit dissappointed due to the ending and the choices, but is still a great game overall. and if there was an illustration like ZE, could you please add it? the illustrations are cool.
