Ratings and reviews

WOW. This app incredibly brings these classic gamebooks to an easy to play digital format so that they can be enjoyed by everyone while still keeping their original book-and-dice flavor. And with a new update they continue to bring us new-to-the-app books?! Wonderful. Only note, sometimes you type in the answer rather than select from some options like the physical book. While I think this plays better, I would love an option to see how it was in the physical book.

Same problem as a few others here - gets stuck on the loading screen with the yellow cog which goes on forever. I waited almost 10 minutes for it to load with no success. I'm not waiting that amount of time to play each time, even if it were to work. Shame, as I loved these books as a kid, good job I still have them because I can't play these...EDIT: finally got it to work! The price of each gamebook tends to fluctuate frustratingly over time & takes up a bit of space but is great fun on mobile.

lts Pretty good. Decent collection of books here and at four dollars each the price is reasonable. It really is quite the collection too. The first book is completely free and its called Bloodbones. Bloodbones suffers from what some of these other books do, which is that it is overly complicated to win. You have to find all kinds of items or you would have to play it on cheat mode. The narrative is good but finishing the book is hard without cheating.
