Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This was an awesome story. Definitely the best one thus far. We still havent gotten all the endings, and we have played this for 4 months.
If you would be so kind to give us a refund we would greatly appreciate it. This app keeps on freezing on us.
Once again rating review is higher than what is fair, due to unfair ratings of other posted reviews. This story is great and very replay-able. Very nice mechanics, meaningful choices, several endings and few typos. Still, it would be a 4 star in our book due to its very narrative style of story telling. We want to experience the story more, feel it as if we were there. The narrative style makes it feel to us more like we are just being told what happened. So we can't go above a 4 as 5 stars are reserved for books like Heroes.
Just perfect. Realistic. Well written. Replayability.
We have played several of these "choice of" games and this one is definitely one of the best. We have played through several times and still have not gotten all of the endings.
This game has literally consumed our life. It's so capturing and filled with exciting moments! Not to mention the realism, with the hierarchy, the way the story progresses and such, it's very great! Get the freaking thing.
This is one of our favorite COG games. We love the setting, and the replay value is pretty decent. Also, it's nice that you can peruse multiple relationships that impact your game as opposed to the two stock love interests that a lot of COG games offer.
Im a mobster have so may endings and branches it even got achievement we already in our 5th play through and we still found something new Cool Lucid.
Just hands down amazing keeps you wanting to play.
And that's what games are all about, fun :) we wish it were a little longer, but then again there are so many endings that it easily makes up for the medium sized story. We've played through it multiple times and still haven't gotten enough.
Didn't seem like much at first but there is a lot of depth to the game and we played through about 20 times and still haven't done everything.
This game is so good! If your into any type of mob movie like goodfellas casino Bronx tale or godfather or just want to be entertained and create your own mob movie we highly recommend this game we've played it many times each time different endings it's truly a work of art and much thanks to the creators of this game!this is the best choice game on ios guaranteed! Well worth the price.
It just keeps getting you deeper and deeper.
This game has a ton of replay value as you try to unlock all of the different endings. Fun text-based game with a lot of strategic decision making choices.
The author is a master of weaving in stat-based choices resulting in over a dozen different endings. This is a long, winding story with lots of replayability because all the different skills you can focus on.
Loved it wish it was longer doe.
It really kept our attention the whole time. Finished it in one sitting about 4 hours and will probably play it a few more times seeing as there are a ton of endings to discover.
Feels like we are playing the Sopranos & the Wire combined. Hi replay value and extremely immersive. A+ plus plus.
The game is really well structured and written, we just didn't particularly care for the setting. That's just us though.
Don't get us wrong the story is amazing but the text randomly reverted to a bigger text fit for a iPhone 3G.
It just saddens us whenever you're asked to make choices about your first love or your childhood friend. Not everyone has friends, so we wish these games would stop making that assumption. It's a personal thing, but it just really hurts.
It is extremely in depth, well written, and the author clearly knows his stuff and did his homework. In fact at this moment -and we're not over exaggerating we swear- we believe it may have very well changed our life or at least gave us the push we needed to change things in our life.
Excellent. Long, and the choices u make really have an effect on ur experience. This is better than 90% of the choice of games apps.
Such a great story, very well written! We love how it's told in flashback and there always seem to be something going on and a choice to be made. Tons of replay value here. We loved being able to live life as a mobster, but also starting our own family and worrying about their safety. We're still trying to get the Suburbia ending haha! Great job Lucid, keep up the good work.
This was probably one of the best Choice of Games and Hosted Games we've ever played. It's well written and worth every penny.
This is one of the best hosted games. It has a great story and the writing is very good. It has so many endings and your choices are very important throughout the game. We recommend it to everyone.
We're no author so we're not going to make this long or drawn out. Put simply this is an extremely well written masterpiece. The different options and cast of characters are worthy of a full blown novel. The player stats are worthy of an epic rpg. If this was a novel we'd Buy the hard cover, If this was a video game we'd pay 60 bucks, as a choice game for 3 bucks…….it's a steal. This is literally top 3 choice games ever right up there with life of a wizard and sabers of infinity. We sincerely hope this does well for the author as we'd like to see another title from him. Great job.
