Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love this game so much and it is so fun to play on.
We like it but we wish we didnt have to pay tickets and diamonds for good things and we widh it was free.
We used to use episode a lot. We redownloaded it not too long ago and we just tried to open the app and it deleted ALL of our progress on our stories!! We have tried reopening the app and it keeps doing the same thing. VERY DISAPPOINTED.
Okay so we love how you can like make your character but in our opinion in dont hate the play one instead of having to spend gems bc some people dont have enough bc they just started the game and some people are young and play this game so we would remove the bad words.
We love Episode so much literally. Thank you to whoever made this game we love you so muchhh <333.
We wish that you didnt have to wait for more tickets but its a really fun game.
Ive had this game since we were like 11, Im now 22 lol. Nowadays you may have to read a certain amount of episode official stories to be able to access the full library of user made stories. Theres a lot of people saying you need gems to make choices. While for episode official stories this may be true. But most user made stories are not like that. They dont force you to pay gems. And they are amazing stories. EPISODE DEVELOPERS READ: we just wanted to say for book club you should offer higher rewards. And let us be able to see how many points =what rewards. So we know how many points until the next reward.
We actually didn't like the story. It was fun.
So Ive had episode for quite a few years and Ive never really had any issues with it till now so over all its perfect just when we go to start a new episode and it says like pay 5 diamonds or watch an ad and ofc we dont have a enough diamonds cause we have reckless spending but whatever we watch the ad and then we just cant ever skip the ad like it never ever gives us the choice and it really sucks.
Hello! We are here with a perchance brilliant idea! So you know how gems are really hard to get without money and you get the worst choices without it, like ruining your runway outfit or showing up in your sweatpants to meet your ex? We think we should earn 2 or 3 gems per chapter for free and have more tickets, you could also implement daily rewards like more tickets, gems, or shards. 2 hours is long time to wait, we think we should earn more tickets from waiting then 2. Thank you if you read and implement, we hope you do because some people playing dont have money on cards to buy actually good choices. Have a wonderful day.
Honestly we used to love this game, but the more we play it, the more we realize how ridiculous it is. 2 tickets every 3 hours, and why do you have to use gems for EVERYTHING! Its honestly so stupid, we dont know how you guys even have a five star rating, you guys are absolutely money hungry, and youre using ai now too? You should be better than that. All Im saying is please give us more tickets and quit making us have to spend money to not be embarrassed.
It is good but we wish there was more kissing and it was pretty good.
We love this game it has so many love stories and we love reading. It's so fun if you love reading download this game. We saw so many people making videos on playing this game we were like hmm maybe we should try the game out so we downloaded it and we played on it and we were half way reading it and it was so cool we loved it and now we hope that everyone else who loves reads it. Byeeeeee.
Look, its a fun game, it just costs WAY too much. The game itself is free, but in order to make good choices in the game, you have to pay in diamonds, which are impossible to get unless you pay, so Im stuck making bad decisions.
We love episode, but we recommend reading stories in the community instead of by episode bc some decisions will make u pay gems , but community doesnt !! Other than that, its a great game, and we love it sm.
We love the stories and that you get to pick what happens to you and we love all on the things you can do.
We love episode but look the gems are insane WHY do we have to pay for them????? We don't wanna do the free stuff we wanna do the gem stuff ads we hate em but it's better then paying for gems eh.
We think this game app is cool and very creative. However, as a player, we are a bit at a major disadvantage because we never seem to earn enough diamonds to be able to choose all of the best outfits to make the best game outcomes! We would like it if the player could earn diamonds for doing certain moves during the episode story so the player is more encouraged to play more. Or find some easier way to get the good outfits without paying diamonds because they picked a certain decision in the episode? Idk- let us know if you guys think its a good idea to add in the game.
We love our body be here but when Im really mad it makes us turn happy.
You may need a lot of gems for better options, but if you do you will have a great time with each story. Even if you dont have a lot of gems, youll have a good time.
When we need a game on car rides this game is the best we love it! Its so fun.
Its a great relaxing and fun game to play when your bored do make sure you read carefully cause things can get spicy.
Pretty Good. Pretty Gay. Wild, seemingly never ending storyline. So many questions. The world may never know.. Damn this bish is a player.
We downloaded the app as a joke, thinking it would be trash! But then, we couldnt stop! We finished a story and then started another! Our favorite is the heiress and its SO GOOD! Amazing concept and Im so impressed! Now, we wanted to make note that its slightly disappointing how not having gems can create bad outcomes since you cant always pick good decisions. Also because the only other way to access gems is by paying. Other than that, its a WONDERFUL game and Im looking forward to starting more stories.
Its a fun app to pass time. We love the community stories and it makes us always want to read more. The only problem is the gem wait on certain stories but its not to bad. Very good game.
No bugs barely any adds so many twists and turns and so many different storys you can change your characters eyebrows eye makeup nose hair skin face shape body shape and sometimes eye color no glitching or anything else we highly recommend you download this app oh did we mention it is free.
The app is very fun and spicy but we wish there was a easier way to get gems.
Super super fun game only thing that sucks is how hard it is to get gems.
Love the game! Wish there were lower gem choices in the storys why couldnt you do like 17 or 10 gems instead of 29 and 17. The stories are awesome. When youre on a budget its hard to play the gem choices thats all. Thank you for your time.
We absolutely love playing this. Ive been playing ever since we were in middle school and we find it really fun, entertaining, and we like the fact that we read.
We love it but we hate how on the ad it doesn't show a choice between a gem choice and a bad choice. And we don't like that you have to have an certain amount of gems too pick the good choice.
We love episode! Its super fun to play, but one thing we really think they need to change is the gemstones. YOU NEED TO GET RID OF THE GEMSTONES!!! We think itll make the game so much better.
The game is good love it but we wish there was a way you could pick between the good options like we had to pay 29 diamonds to win the first challenge in episode and we only had one diamond like??? But thats the only problem other than that its good.
We absolutely love this game. We have played it for years and it is so entertaining and funny and honestly iconic. The singular strife we've had is the sheer amount of ads in this app. A few years ago it wasn't this bad, but to press on one chapter you have to watch three ads at a time and it's honestly absurd. One ad is irritating but manageable but THREE THIRTY SECONDS ADS to read one singular chapter that lasts five minutes is insane. We have no issue with these scarcity of gems because of the new update they added where you can complete surveys and we feel like that was really cool but corporate greed is really out of control. Another feature that honestly makes no sense is the fake alert that locks chapters under the guise of "they're being released in a few hours" is pretty dishonest and just weird. Our main strife is with the obscene amount of ads. Literally no need.
You should be able to watch ads to get gems.
While the game makers do provide good options, without paying extra, there is a limited amount of things one can do in the game. A simple gem everyday option would be nice, as well as the availability of gems through ads. Along with that, in the game, the choices that need gems cost an extreme amount of gems, when they could easily cost less. Simple changes like that could make the game be a five star app instead of four. As well as the availability of the other games, without purchasing extra, one cannot play more than maybe 12 games, it simply isnt fair to those who love the app but cant pay extra. Appealing to the vast majority of people who use this app could increase the amount of people going on the app and getting the app. We wouldnt recommend this app to others unless at least two of the changes listed happen in this new year.
So fun but so many gems needed omg.
We wish you didnt have to pay gems to get the best option, it kinda ruins the story. But otherwise we love it.
We love episodes, but off late their stories are becoming one way, we need varieties.
We love it so fun but it dosnt give you the best options.
Well in our opinion this app is so much fun theirs drama you get to pick how you look everything is so cool but we just dont like that you need gems to choose options even when its your first time and you get them after finishing a story so you cant even pick options that you want without having to buy gems and we dont have any we have to earn them through storys that we dont like the options we get because the ones we want need gems.
Love the game. Just wish the good options didnt cost so much diamonds especially since you dont get enough unless you buy them.
The app itself is well programmed & put together. However very rarely do we get to make the options we want because it all costs diamonds & you very rarely ever get diamonds so you have to pay for them. If there were more times where we can make our own choices without all the diamonds & payments the game would be much better.
Its an amazing game! We love all the drama. The one con is that you cant do many fun things unless you pay for diamonds! And you cant do another round until you wait for a ticket or you can buy them! Its a free game until you start playing.
We love this game so much. We read it religiously everyday. For those who are worried about reading gem hungry stories, there are community stories that dont require gems to make choice or have a good story. We recommend downloading and reading Play Dirty by Yves or Only Pretend by Charlie Seb. Enjoy.
WHERE OH WHERE DID THE GUMBALL EVENTS GO! We NEED MORE THEMED CLOTHING AND HAIRS FOR MY CHARACTER PLEASEEEE.
We dont really like how most of the good choices cost diamonds. Please fix that.
It would be good if we didnt have to get diamonds for every option like come on just let us watch an add and get it just makes us not like the app when we have to pay for an option thats good which we wont do cause its a waste of money do better.
We love episode but the thing is that every-time theres a good option, you have the spend diamonds and at the start you have like 1 or 2 which is annoying. And you also have to spend money to get more diamonds just for the good options.
We dont like that for some of our choices we have to pay gems but other than that its pretty good.
