This game is so great!! A perfect mix between miningame challenges and perfect storytelling. I love that theres no adds, and the game really feels like something thats meant to take you on an adventure and not just something made to earn money. I only wish it continued on with the story past where the game ends
I've just downloaded it a day ago and I'm on chapter 3. I love the mystery, the ambient music and that the app mixes a visual novel with game elements. Sorry just saw your reply...I'm so sorry. Not sure if you've had to fix them in all this time. I promise to check back in a few days. So let me know if you still need a list of those typos.
Great story and atmosphere!
Good story
I downloaded this game years ago and finished it but never came back to leave a review. I decided to fix that because this is a game worth praising. The story is well written and the apocalyptic narrative unique, a super volcanic eruption mixed with gigantic monster bugs? Very nice. The mini games are also enjoyable, one for each type of activity so it doesn't get too stale. And of course the creators were generous enough not to charge for part 1 or part 2, but I'd say you should pay regardless.
Beautiful
It's been years since I played this game!! Glad that this showed up in my recommended or I won't remember playing this.
Interesting setting and plot. Game mechanics are more fun than a typical interactive story. Unfortunately I did not like the second one in the series.
Choose-your-own-adventure with card-fighting and match-3 mini-games. A bit short, but I see there's a sequell....
Works offline. I wish there was the third part of the game online.
