Ratings and reviews

There are volume issues in the games where one paragraph will be loud, another quieter. The AI voices reading aloud the choices to move the story forward are incredibly immersion breaking and spoiled the experience for me. Also, the app repeatedly asks for permission to record audio - why, I'm not sure but this seems shady. Tbh I'm not sure the voices and sound effects add anything to a choose your own adventure setup - I think I'd rather it just remain text based.

Incredible, would really recommend. Interesting stories, thought out gameplay options. I would suggest making some stories longer (add more chapters), but I realise that takes time. But really good job! 👍😀

I’m very glad that I found it. I was searching last night of audio game for blind hoping to find something new and this is it. I recomend this fascinating game to my friends and youtube channels that making gameplays of games for blind thank you so much. :)
