It's a really good game.
One can feel how much love and care the developer had for his game. I love this playbook so much and as an old realistic self defense practitioner, I had a blast with the "Street fighter deck" :) This book is touching, thrilling, well written and playing / reading it, became a daily routine on my way to work. I love it, and I look forward to the sequel, maybe sequels ? Cheers for making my days just a little bit brighter with this lovely game. All the best to everybody involved,thank you!
Just played/read it for the 3rd time and it's still great. Nice mix of story and doing stuff, well written, lovely drawings. Going to play part 2 now, but still no part 3 :-( Any news about that? I really want to know how it ends.
just played it again for the third time and it never fails to suck you in and fully immerse you in the story. My favourite game EVER!! I tried to find you guys on facebook so I can keep up to date with the hopefully third book, but this game didnt come up. Are you on facebook?
I realy love this game. I am looking forward to its sequels.
This is a great little series, really fun to play, but when with the 3rd part be released??
I highly recommend this interactive book! I anxiously await the sequels!
Love it. Can't wait to the book 3
The story of a family coping with post apocalyptic world is riveting, and well told with vivid imagery; although it is intense, and deals with survival, it isn't gory. Involvement in the game could encourage reading in gamers, which may interest parents. Most games have an amoral premise which favors winning at any cost, but this is set in a moral universe-intriguing and unusual. The mini games and other features offer puzzles that are fun, sophisticated and challenging. Altogether an absorbing and beautiful game that resonates emotionally. Very enjoyable on a tablet, might not be as accessible using a phone. After enjoying the free game, purchased 1 and 2, and would have paid much more for them. Way better than any game I've ever played.
Highly recommended! I also bought the paid version of part 1 & 2 after playing through the free version, i think it's well deserved. The story is engaging and the music and illustrations add to the atmosphere. The minigames are good fun too, especially combat, I found it very well balanced. Thanks for such a great app :)
