Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We absolutely love this story but cant give it 5* for only two reasons!! One there is not enough ways to earn free reading and two it is very expensive to read for more than the free allowed. They need to make it less expensive so more people would downloaded the app and read.
We have been playing this game for a while and somehow always keep getting logged out of our facebook(where we have our saved file). When we open the app and try to regain our save file. It doesnt work at all, like we have no save file and it keep showing open Facebook app and then continue and then the same thing over and over again. We do love the story but at this point, we are annoyed.
Considering we dont get much energy, and despite fans requests to be able to save daily energy and to add to the next days worth they really should stop adding scenes irrelevant to the plot.
Im absolutely in love with this game but can we please get more seasons!!!! We need more of colin.
When is season 2 and 3 coming out we need them.
You need to make season 2 and 3.
The pricing is all wrong you need to pay to read More than 10 slides. Each slide only has a few sentences so the story is very slow for us. When we do pay the credits dont last long enough, at this rate if we dont spend literally $100 to finish this book it will take us a year to finish.
We're really enjoying the read, and how it's seems like a long time before we capture Colin's heart, but that's okay it will be worth the wait! after finishing the first season we're a bit restless for another, we thought Colin's character was given more depth since he has diabetes and he had to take on more responsibility taking care of his little brother and looking after his Mom who suffered from Bipolar Disorder. The reason he distrusts so strongly really comes out more as you read. We were thinking in Matt's story he had a little sister but in his he had a little brother…either way we like him as an older sibling. We hope he gets a sequel..
We love the story we just wish there was a way to replay chapter without buying the energy again to reread them.
Colin scares us,yet hes sooo fricking cute.
Played the game got both endings. We wish that season two to come out.
Love this exciting out of control love story!! The talent of the author is amazing! Hooked by every means thank you.
Id have liked Owen to have a story and mark but love Adams story its steamy but clean well written too love all these games plz continue the vampire stories to plz.
Would love to have a book game for peter and drogos older brother! We seem to be wanting to see him as much as we want to see peter. His family man type attitude amps up our heartbeat when ever he shows up in the stories. Would you be so good to grace your lineup of stories with him please? His character cant be left behind because of their little sister.
The game is awesome, though we wish there was more opportunities to get energy without having to spend so much money.
We've played more otome (dating story) games than we care to admit, and we love this one! Every once in a while there's a spelling error, but otherwise it's perfect. The story is a lot more in depth and a lot longer than other otome options. Loving it.
We love games like this it makes our day.
Love the whole is it love franchise just wish we didn't have to wait so long for energy refills.
We love this series and we're just itching for new chapters! Keep doing such a great job and we will keep coming back for more.
But we want more Colin stories cant wait to play more. Need to give more than 300 energy in a day. Want to read more then that more pictures of the two of them together.
Wonderful story we look forward to reading Colin everyday. However we would love to see Adam get his own story. Dont get us wrong Colin is hot and all but there is something so sexy about Adam. The next is it love should be Adam.
Ive really only just started this story, but thus far Im enjoying it. Im excited to see where it goes. We started with the Matt storyline first, that one is our top favorite. We just finished the Gabriel storyline and unfortunately did not like that one as much, too much of a 50 Shades of Grey reminder for our taste. That story ended being in Matts arms…Gabriel is too angry for our liking. So, maybe Im just destined to be with Matt forever… Im excited to see how Colin will fare. Wish us luck.
We love the storey, but we only wish there where more ways to get energy other then buy it it one mini game.
We would rate it five stars but Im not because it not really fair that you have to pay for the secret senses in the story we mean you already pay a lot with the purchases of energy and even when you dont it only gives you 300 energy each day which doesnt get you far at all so it sad that when you finally reach a secret scene and you have been waiting day for it, it is dissatisfying because you have to pay for it and that makes playing the game boring and sad because in the end you cant see and that is all we want to see.
We really like this game, but if we read every day what is allotted we are fine. If we dont read every day it should build up not just the 300 awarded at the start. So if we have not read for 2 days we think we should get the points for the previous day plus the day we open the game. That being we would have 600 points. Or you could do like most games do and award points on a scale. 1day-300 Day2- 350 Day3-400 Day4-450 Day5-500 Then start over on day 1 again. Just earning 300 every day and then 100 in the mini game. Is not enough. Also sometimes it asks if we want to watch a video ad for 30 more points and we watch it and it is not even giving us the points and makes us watch another video ad before giving us the 30 points, the same with the 20 points. We do not mind the ads but why do we have to watch 2 ads before it will give us the points.
The only thing Id have changed is how short the chapters are. Not nearly long enough.
We love this game! The graphics, the story, everything! We could hardly put it down! Our only complaint is the energy you get in 24 hours, 300 is not enough! We wish this could be corrected. And now that we finished Season 1, when Season 2 is coming? Hope is soon.
We really enjoy all these stories, but the translation, punctuation and debugging needs some work. Please get a better proofreader as the art and storylines are high quality. We prefer these choose your own adventure type novels with pay by chapter rather than energy so we can read at our own pace.
Doesnt update often enough. Ive spent a lot of money on this & the other apps by this company.. Our biggest complaints are the high cost for energy, the small amount of free daily energy (of course), and the SUPER SLOW update frequency. This was the first app from 1492 that we downloaded & when we reached the finish about 8 months ago, we downloaded another one from them. We now have them all & have reached the furthest available points (theyve made some $$ off of us) on all of them. Problem is: updates to the story line are now very few & far between – but theyve since released new apps/storylines!! Frustrating as Im unable to review the story Ive now paid for & we have to try & keep all the storylines straight when they finally do update one… This company should have released fewer apps at once & focused more on releasing full storylines, then moved onto other characters, etc.
If you ever name your character wrong you can fix it by restarting the tutorial. Though you will lose progress its still a nice thing to know if you just was starting and named wrong. We wish this was in like support on the game so if you look in Q&A for renaming character or something that it would tell you. But the support team responded pretty fast and told us how to rename. Even though they couldnt personally do anything for renaming. They at least told us how to. Which is nice as we were trying all different things to get the name to be reset. On a different note than renaming character, the energy system for all the games are pretty bad. Its not enough free energy daily. We just like a lot of people probably cant just spend a bunch of money on a game. Every once in awhile spending money on a full game to buy and get access to pretty much everything is different. But we are use to waiting for games to refill on energy and things of that sort. Which this has the worse. We cant tell how far energy will get you. We havent been able to tell. Ive seen some people say every 10 energy is used per line. Which sometimes it seems like its more than that. We would say that either giving more energy or making energy last longer would be good. Or changing the lines to have more to read instead of just a few words for 10 amount of energy or whatever amount is actually used as really short sentences we dont feel like should use that much energy. We understand it would be hard to code in some of these things after its made it. But its something to try and work on when making another game. And possibly slowly work on that for the games that are already available.
We love these stories especially this one but seriously… The energy runs so quick on this. Ive already spent $50 on refilling our energy. Disappointing because we love this game. Not sure if we can continue to play.
Im on the fence with this one. It seems to be pushing us towards one guy in particular, regardless of what we choose, but we thought youd get to choose the guy you like. Also, if it told you when your points would re-up, Id have given it another star. Its really annoying to check in several times to see if you have more points because you cant remember exactly when you played it last. A count down would make it a whole lot better, or even a notification. But we are curious to see where the story leads, so Ill keep at it for a while.
Its fun to read and good story line.
The story is really good but the 300 energy needs to be improved. Thats no where near enough to read any of the story. Unless you buy energy, it will take you a year to finish one chapter.
These glitches are driving us Nuts. We can only go threw the story like snip at a time. Like we get your in it to money and all but if your going to to free bees atleast make sure it works .. Its so frustrating. We love the story so far but Ill probably know the full story in two centris.
Its too expensive and it should charge by the chapters.
So, Im an episode game player and saw this come up a few times either there or on Covet and decided to give it a try. The story line is good (though it did take a little while to get into it) but while we are super into the story now… The energy Bologna is… Bologna! You get 300 energies a day which is basically 30 clicks of convo (some are literally 1-7 words! Per click!) with an added bonus of possibly 100 energies for a mini-game once a day (10 clicks), 30 a day for watching an ad (3 clicks), and 20 every 4-5 hours (because it doesnt always keep the time right) which is 2 clicks. You cant save up the energy for days, you have to use it. eye roll Ive gotten so consumed at some points that Ive just paid…. Then the scene shifts to some crap with the small sentence clicks and it makes us so mad! What a waste of clicks!!! And, really? We are not making the right choices and we have to pay for every single extra scene (the first secret scene being the only one we made the right choices on even though we were frustrated with how our choices were coming out at first) – how is that? We see others saying that in their review as well. Obviously it is just to get us to pay more. ALSO – its $1.99 to unlock the secret scene, we had just paid $4.99 for energy and the secret scene was using our energy too!!! Thats kind of… Bologna! Like, really? We read kind of fast but even with taking our time, we can barely get more than 3 minutes out of this game PER DAY unless we pay. Like…. That may not keep us coming back, honestly. We think maybe you should look at other story apps like episode where you have a pass system for chapters or installments and each are a minimum of 10 mins of reading time. Then the passes refresh every 4-5 hours and you can play more or pay to play. Episode even has a deal for unlimited passes for $ wth no ads and Ive purchased it several times! We just dont see how paying $5 for 280 clicks where there are an obscene amount of small sentences or comments is worth it, honestly. We go through that so quickly and then we are impatiently waiting for the next TWO CLICKS OF THE STORY every 4-5 hours or for the next day. Ugh! Until thats changed we refuse to give more than 3 stars – even if Im totally digging the story.
Energy=standard Hero choice=restricted Plot-undecided Dialogue- more positive like the girl attitude so far.
Energy management in the game is so bad, that it makes the story unreadable/unplayable. If the devs expect people to pay for energy refills, they need to grab their attention and hold it with the story. The measly amount of daily energy allowed is WAY too little for this. We wanted to love the game, artwork and story is great, plus we dont mind paying a reasonable amount of money to support developers, but if they dont fix the energy system, us and our money will be gone for good.
Okay, we love all their games stories. Not methods. For example everyday we check in, we end up only getting to tap like 5 times or whatever and then wait a whole other day, and the taps sometimes are boring parts. Then we think hmmm what if we buy. But thenI know that wouldnt do anything either. Suggestions -section the parts of the story and have the chapter of the section cost a number of passes given daily or lower. Then leave it on a cliff hanger. Then we wouldnt be reading some boring parts and then having to wait because we ran out of the passes in two seconds. Maybe make the sections 100 each and make them a FAIR length and that will 100% encourage people to buy too. These fixed we personally feel are not too much to ask for. And we can guarantee that Much more people will play, and make in app purchases. Because there are so many setbacks in the games as it is, that makes us frustrated.
We love this story. They do a great job drawing you into the story and It is honestly completely addicting but we are disappointed that it has taken so long for the next season to come out. It has been over six months since the story was last updated. At this point they have probably lost quit a lot of people and money to this story. From what we have read people have paid a lot for this story yet no second season?! At this point we feel like they are just losing out on money.
You get 300 energy everyday which for us equals up to 3 to 4 min of game play. You have an option to purchase more energy. Its pretty pricey and you dont get a lot of bang for your buck. In the end due to the whole energy thing it just became too annoying for us to continue playing…. Delete. We should add aside from that the story isnt bad.
We agree with In it for the money. If we already paid 100.00 to read the story, we should be able to reread it as many times as we want. This is making us pay for the same story twice. Completely ridiculous! We really liked the story and the artwork though.
Ive now read completely through four of the stories. If we were rating on the story alone, it would get 5 stars. Im giving it two stars strictly for price and programming. For each story, we paid about $80-$100 for the energy to read through at our pace and for unlocking all the hidden scenes. We actually wouldnt mind paying that much because it did provide several hours of good game play, and we dont mind paying to support the artists and writers. What bothers us, is even after spending $100 on a story, if we want to reread through the same stories Ive already paid for, we have to pay AGAIN! At least other apps, like Chapters, once Ive paid for choices, if we reread through a story, we dont have to repay for the energy (aka tickets in Chapters) and any decision we paid for is now free. So we pay upfront for the first read, but can reread for free. Thats really all we want when we spend $100 on just one of your products. Forcing for us to pay again is just greedy. Work with us people. Ill pay for your product, but give us some reward for paying $100 on a single app! Let us reread AT MY PACE for free.
Its so far good. The art and story but the energy needed to keep using this game is making us want to drop it. Ive played games like this before and Ive gotten a lot rather in those games. We can barely get through a whole scene or part of the story with out so much energy its pretty ridiculous. We kinda dont even want to finish the game cause of this.
We recently downloaded each of these games. The art style, and story is good. Im hearing from other reviewers that there are sound effects, but maybe you need earphones for those. The main downside to these unfortunately like everyone says os the energy it takes. Few ideas. 1 instead of a sentence costing energy, block them in segments. End on cliffhangers if you really want people to buy energy. Not just the next normal thing to say. This would also help people remember what was going on the next day, if they choose not to. 2 more videos 3 more chances at the mini game 4 supply and demand evaluation of the energy potions. We think you will find that by decreasing the price, you will get far more customers buying them. For example.. $10×600 a day $6,000 we believe halving the price would more double the second number. We bet every dollar down would be like an exponent to that current rate. Maybe not as dramatic, but still. $9-700, $8-850, $7-1,050, $6-1,300, $5-1,600 $5×1,600=40,900 That with the additional adds would pull in much greater revenue for you. Also the Ryan story might be a little hot for 12 year olds. 21 and if we had a daughter Id hate to catch her reading that first secret scene before she was 16. Probably going to put this on each of them.
Needless fluff to make you blow energy. Being you pay 10 energy per sentence. Repetitiveness is the name of the game here. Long drawn out tension that just repeats its self topped with the main character's self loathing. The story doesn't save to be reread later especially when you're having to purchase special scenes. No back log incase you tap past something too quickly. It seems suspicious that we can never seem to choose the right choices to get to the hidden chapters without paying. Pricing for energy is ridiculous. So is the price per special scene. No option to just buy chapters or the story. We're all for supporting the people who make these. The story is ok it had the potential to be great if they could cut the fluff but after $20 of energy and just reading the same theme over and over again. We'll just read at the free pace because we've lost interest in paying for filler.
This is ridiculous. We dont mind paying for our stories, but $100?!?! That is crazy! & we cant reread any chapters, so we paid for one read through. Energy is used up for every piece of dialog, even just one sentence. There is only 300 free energy a day with a tiny boost from one mini game. We like the story and the artwork, but the developers might want to change some things before they lose more customers.
We honestly dont recommend these apps. While the stories are alright buying energy is a scam because theyre non-transferable through each story and if you buy more close to the end of a story youre out money because you cant repurpose your energy across another storyline. If you enjoy small (and we mean SMALL) bursts of a story (300 free energy at 10 per sentence) with no way to gain any kind of substantial energy, this is the game for you. Unfortunately, we wont be reading anymore stories because losing money entirely puts a foul taste in our mouth.
When you try to read a secret scene you have to pay . The story alone is great but we wish you wouldnt charge for a scene. We hope in the future you would only charge for energy . Ive deleted all of them but will check back in the future to see if anything has changed.
