Absolutely fantastic, I was shocked after completing my second playtbrough of "An Unexpectedly Green Journey" to discover an even greater ending than what I had achieved. The depth and world building was sublime and I could not recommend this more for anyone who enjoys some good ol' bashin and orky goodness.

Lots of stories aren't free, but it's so worth it. One gameplay of a particular story took me 2 days to finish, and that was for only one possible branching path. The stories, of course, can vary since hosted games are stories that are hosted by a wide variety of authors and artists. It does its job well enough, being a hub for these stories so you can find and read them easily all on one app, thoughit lacks a lot of features such as a "read later" or history feature.

I am not an avid reader of physical books, but I have always loved reading in general. My problem was always a frustration with the main characters and their lack of good decisions. This app allows for it to be my bad decisions instead, and it allows me to still read books. This app has made me feel like a reader again, and I am happy to give my money to these stories. Especially with the prices of the books being at most maybe $12. After years of using this app, it gets 5 stars from me
