Ratings and reviews

This is an amazing concept and I love most of the execution. However, I was having a problem collecting a page in Disillusionment so I uninstalled and reinstalled the game in hopes it would fix it. I have an account but when I logged back in it synced me to level 6 in the begining of the game when I had been level 20-something and well into it. I'm still giving 5 stars cause I love the game but this setback made me a little disheartened.

It's nice for what it's meant to do, but of course, it's limited. You can make art on here, just, I mean, it's not a piece of paper, and my screen is small, so yeah. It's really nice not to be pressured too, unlike many other apps (for instance, if you don't log in one day, the character tells you it's perfectly fine). I basically only took one star out because painting on the walls can be a little complicated sometimes, which can get one annoyed. But it works really great overall

An amazing tool for anyone feeling a bit lonely theses days and need to keep going in their pursuit of being lonely. Had a problem with the keyboard but saw you are working on it. I'd love a bit more personalisation, such as naming guardians or having a journal separate from other feature to vent and more. (If it already has this, sorry, first 2 days of using it)
