Reviews
An excellent recreation of one of Dave Morris's classic gamebooks. The only negative is that it occasionally crashes my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, but the app is so much fun that I couldn't deduct a star for that. If you plan to adapt any other Morris books, I'd LOVE to see Heart of Ice. Food for thought!
I actually loved the game at first, the design and storyline was interesting. But sometimes when I choose a certain option, the game kept on crashing and I tried it several times until I gave up and choose another option. For the last one, I only had that 1 option which kept on crashing, hence I couldn't continue the game. I'm pretty upset as I have paid for this.
One of a kind, but hard as hell. Tried many times and have yet to win. Still fun to try, though!
My kids & I R all big fans of interactive fiction, I've loved the genre since I was a kid in the 70s (yeah, I'm OLD) so I approach them with not a little nostalgia. There are many good examples of 'choose your own adventure' available 4 Android but Cubus' entries R very unique in that they create their own atmosphere 2 a higher degree than most. Definitely worth the $.
Terrific artwork. Loading times leave something to be desired tho. Story is a bit hard but i like a good challenge.
Choosing certain options cause the game to crash. I'm less than an hour in and I've already encountered this several times on my GS5. Frustrating because the game is very interesting.
