Can be better Cool UI, but awful story lines. Seen better out there, many. [Edit]: Stop showing unavailable options. Replays ain't worth it if you know instantly what will work best based on the options. And add more possible routes, and even dead ends. If a story is a maze, make those dead ends so people do think through their options. And allows different branch of gameplay to proper endings. I hate how collecting "mind", aka the hints are pretty a linear progress. That's it for now.

Could be a good gamebook but the writing has far too many grammar mistakes to be a good read. If it were proofread and edited I would try it again since the story seems interesting as well as gameplay.

Elian Kurtenkov

Great and addictive interactive adventure gamebook. The replay value is more than decent, the art is fantastic, the look and feel of the app is amazing and the story is enthralling!

Audric Sage

The story that is there is decent, one of the better game books, but the story is incredibly short, and there's multiple grammar mistakes along the way. Not to mention, anyone with a brain can figure out the twist ending if you just read the title/description.

Christoph Weber

Very well written, the translation is not good though. Only problem is that it's too short

Jessica Neko

Fun! Really loved the music and story!

I am glad that you like the UI! The story is based on an old Korean legend from their folklore, the idea is to get people familiar a tad more with Korean culture. Let me know if there is a way to make you reconsider your rating! Thank you!

Great! Please add more to the story. I would love to see this book/game grow. It was a wonderful read and I hope more of the story is developed.

Prime Games Bulgaria April 5, 2017

Hi and thank you for your review! The new story (which is x3 times the size) is written and it will be translated into a bigger app this year :)

LM Vang June 3, 2017

It's is pretty good overall and I would like to see more of this story to see how it develops or other stories like this. Thanks for a great game

Prime Games Bulgaria June 6, 2017

Thank you for the review! You can check the other title that I've released https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.PrimeGames.Transomnie&hl=en while I am working on the next parts :)

I liked the Korean folklore in it but the gameplay definitely needed more polishing. Other than that, this game is great for what it is!

Catnaps April 29, 2017

It's an interesting plot but the English needs more editing to sound smoother. Quite a short story though.

Micah Howell February 16, 2017

Like a cookie. Short, and good. But you want more. Glad the dev communicates with the player base.

Prime Games Bulgaria February 5, 2017

Thank you! We are preparing an expansion. This is still a free app with no ads, no permissions. It's based on a short tail. Could you possibly reconsider rating its qualities aside from the length?

Wekwek Sern April 15, 2017

Not enuf new chapters

Prime Games Bulgaria April 16, 2017

There are 100 chapters in total, it's a short story gamebook. That's why it's free and with no ads. I only ask if you could reconsider your rating, thank you!

Spencer Lombardo February 5, 2017

Great game. Very nice music to go along with the story and reading

william kummetz January 7, 2017

Bad grammar

Prime Games Bulgaria January 8, 2017

Hi, I am aware that the translation is not that great but could I ask you to let me know which parts are bad? Is it all? Are there problems with the usage of tenses or improper wording? Thank you!

Abran Cullen January 7, 2017

Unique and appealing

Prime Games Bulgaria January 9, 2017

Thanks for the kind words! :)

Vincent Gan January 23, 2017

love it

Ivo Ganchev December 5, 2016

Hwarang & Kumiho is epic! Seems odd to describe a gamebook in this way but the great story combined with Korean music in the background and the application's interface makes it a wicked gamebook to read. 'Hwarang & Kumiho' - the game sure didn't have me immediately by the name as I was slightly sceptical with it being based on Korean culture, supposedly, which is something I'm not familiar with. Turned out it really was worth it. Surprisingly, may be called one of the best gamebooks I've read this year.

Edd Think November 27, 2016

I'm glad you didn't add the dice based combat mechanic. That kills all the fun in such a game. You've made a good gamebook. Keep it up.

Jon Tee November 19, 2016

Unfortunately, it stops immediately. Will check in for updates :)

Prime Games Bulgaria November 20, 2016

Jon, could you, please, tell me what sequence of screens do you see until the error, is there an error message or a blank screen? Does it freeze or does it quit? I want to try and fix it. Thank you in advance!

Siyan Vergov November 12, 2016

Sehr gut It is very nicely done with beautiful graphics and interesting story.

Administrator Kreya November 11, 2016

Goo1d designand cool story

Милан Серафимов November 4, 2016

Awesomely entertaining I have always been a fan of reading and adventure gaming. This is an excellent example of how both can work together. It is fun to play and read and I even learned a couple of new words in English ! 5 stars !

Magi Petrova November 7, 2016

Epic Adventure!!! I spent very pleasant few hours in reading and playing this game. It was unexpectedly exciting!

Yonda Misuto November 6, 2016

Kristian Smilenov November 9, 2016

Awesome game, you need to try it!

Ivan Atanasov November 10, 2016

Awesome app, works great

Bozhidar Tyanev November 4, 2016

5/5 Awesome game.

Alexander Torofiev November 10, 2016

Best free gamebook app As a fan, writer, editor and publisher of gamebooks I've read a lot, but this one seems to be the best out there - very polished app! Only the translation could be improved on few places, but it is a minor problem. A+

Skylore Reborn January 25, 2017

It's REALLY fun and don't get me wrong but it was definitely too short in my opinion. The replay value seemed meaningless to me though, maybe if there was another chapter?

Meg Taehyung December 26, 2016

Hwarang I'm a fan of the k drama Hwarang: The Beginning . So Is this the official game of that K drama ? 😂

kairi jean December 27, 2016

Kim Taehyung Im searching for the real KBS HWARANG:THE BEGINNING apps that they launched the other day

Prime Games Bulgaria December 28, 2016

Hi, this is not an official app for the TV Series, is this why you gave it 2 star rating? It's an interactive fiction story based on an old Korean legend. Do you not like it?

CHIRAG K January 17, 2017

Great game with good graphics, theme and settings But too short.

Stan Wesley May 17, 2017

Instant like пичове ;)

Prime Games Bulgaria May 22, 2017

Instant благодаря към теб! :)

Gummy U January 9, 2017

Okay Too short but good plot and responsive.

Prime Games Bulgaria January 9, 2017

Gummy U, I am sorry you find it too short but it's a short story after all. That's why it's free and with no ads. Did you not like anything else than its length?

December 26, 2016

Kim TAEHYUNG I really really love it. Saranghaeyo.
