This game is amazing! The mystery is so very hooking and the plot is so good. The gameplay is simple but engaging. There's no pressure to buy anything or even play it daily (I just did because I loved the game so much). Ads are completely reasonable, you only get them when you die, and they are always 5-15 seconds. Sometimes you can chose to watch an ad in the middle of gameplay, but you get a good reward from it. I absolutely recommend trying it out, you will be hooked!

It's 'okay'. It's an interesting concept but executed somewhat poorly. For one, the oracle either doesn't even do what it's supposed to or it's not explained properly how to use it as for me it seemingly just adds an icon to the top and that's it. Additionally the game feels completely rng driven and progressing is entirely up to luck and not skill or memory. Some cards simply hurt you either way and with how little resource you have getting one of these cards is a run ender.

The art style is so satisfying, the gameplay is smooth, and the storyline is intriguing, all around an awesome game. Tbh, I prefer it compared to Reigns. Let alone, you can have free oracles just by watching an ad, and that's the only time you get ads besides after dying. No gameplay interruptions!

The game is alright; the concept is interesting, challenging, usually enjoyable. I like that cards are added in throughout the game, which helps keep it fresh. However, some cards have very similar phrasing to one another: e.g., two similar cards that both have to do with security, where one may 'spend' security, and the other 'earn' security. Still, good game overall!

I usually judge mobile games within the first 15 minutes and I kinda expected what I got into. I would give it two star for the simplicity and how you need to watch an ad everytime you die. However, I really enjoyed the characters/storyline. I knew that the creator put heart into the story (which kinda answers my question on why the rest of the game isn't the greatest) and I enjoyed reading the dialog. Good game for the first play through! Not a game to replay but a game to enjoy

Very simple and fun. I do wish each "round" lasted longer; it's very common to get a few choices in a row that lead to a game over. To be clear this isn't a negative about the game, that's how it's designed, but it does mean that sometimes I reach a game over after only a few minutes. Thankfully it's not like you have to start completely over, so it's not all bad.

This game is absolutely phenomenal. No ads(unless you choose to watch one for the Oracle), amazing storyline/lore, constant expansion upon characters and plot points to keep the game from becoming repetitive, and multiple endings to keep you hooked(not to mention the sequel game). All in all an amazing game, definitely recommend.

I love this game!! Starts off very simple, but as you go along a subtle storyline unfolds and makes it very interesting. Only been playing for a couple days and reached one of the possible endings. The only complaint I have would be that sometimes no matter which way you choose to answer the question you're going to lose, so that can be frustrating. Other than that an excellent chill game!!!

A friend recommended this game to me and I have been playing for a little bit (still haven't gotten to an ending), and it's great. It's a good mix between being simple and extraordinary. I also like Sci-Fi and this game dives heavily into that genre. It's also very easy to follow and enjoyable to go through. I look forward to completing the story. Also the gameplay is smooth and the ads are optional most of the time, but I promise they won't bother you much at all.

This is a genuinely fun game! If you've heard of/played reigns and liked it then you'll enjoy this game. Though the end game is convoluted and it's difficult to figure out what you're supposed to do, because of that i've only managed to get the bad ending so far and uninstalled for a period because of confusion. The game is also incredibly hard and some of your runs will fail near instantly. If you decide to get the game, good luck and have fun!
