Loved It

I got the game and spent hours on it and beat it in one sitting. Was up until 5:00 AM playing.

All good until it froze?

Everything was perfect and I was really enjoying the game until I proposed to my partner and it froze.. Ive been waiting for about an hour now for an answer. I cant go back or anything Im stuck on the page that tells me Im waiting for my partner to accept or reject my proposal. I also feel like the stages can be a bit rushed.

Eh

Its only a few time play app you should definetly add some updates! Its a new year make the game a little better. I really loved playing it when I did. PLEASE UPDATE

Plz update

Update it please, wont let me get married or have kids. Nonetheless, it makes me feel rushed. I want to experience everything and I cant do that when Im just aging like crazy. Please update it!

Okay, not great

I read apt of choose your own adventure books and I wasnt all that impressed with this one. It has a lot of prions but is entirely predictable and not very interesting. Also I wasnt thrilled with the random negative events or odd dental problems that exist in the story.

I would give 6 stars

This is one of the most fun games I have ever played! Defiantly worth five dollars! If you are speculating this game because its a text adventure it is a great game!

Only one small problem

Pretty good and I love the way it is set up although I have one concern I am blind and I was thinking it might be nice if you could play the game with a disability Of your choice

Dissatisfied

The game feels generic and lackluster, with lots of repetition. The life stages are too short, and dont offer a sense of achievement.

Awesome game, bad mechanics

Game is fun and original but I expected more than a minimalist port. Needs save files

Good game

I love this game played it liked four times and still love it but only thing I would change would be I wish you could be a different sexuality and go through life like just that.

good but gets old

this app is fun but there is a lot of reading and it tends to get repetitive. if i could go back i probably would not buy this app. its not worth 4.99 to me

Love it - a few suggestions

~First off, itd be really cool if your parents could have second children. I think it would add a fun element of growing up with older/younger siblings and working through those relationships. ~Also, I think you should add more image issues. The things youve got going so far are pretty good, but I dont know of a single teenager in real life who is actually confident. Maybe throw in a few more body image confrontational stuff, or even give the life path of eating disorders, hospitalisation, eventual death, etc. ~go further with the depression options. ~add bigger endings. Rare as it is, some people do end up famous. Some people end up in jail. Some people end up in asylum. Some people grow up in an orphanage. Give us more of a variety on where we start and end. Dont get me wrong, despite my numerous comments, I love this app! Its rather expensive, especially considering you can play it online for free (go to computer settings and move time forward to skip pauses between ages) and its only $2.99 on kindle, but I do love it! Four stars for everything! Thanks for reading! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Exceptional!

This is a pick a path story game that I just keep finding myself reading. The writing is honestly the best Ive seen in a choose a story game in long time. I adore the forth wall breaking narrator who makes you feel like you are actually part of the experience and not just along for the ride. The game is never really played the same twice so it has high replay value. One I recommend! Not much to lose. What are you waiting for? Get it!

An App of Great Potential

If Im correct, this app is based off a very old game of the same name, and uses much of the same content, with some new stuff mixed in. I love it, and I think the game works very well, although it could certainly benefit from more choices beyond the two or three usually given. After 4 or 5 play throughs, the game is pretty much squeezed dry of its content, which can happen in just a short day.

Why Pay!!????!?

I paid for this app after being a kid who grew up playing alter ago online for many years.... Waste of money here though!! After you play once or twice, whats the point of even keeping the app? Sigh, lesson learned.

Pretty decent choose your own adventure

The only complaint I have is that it doesnt let you click all of the options before it moves you on to the next stage. It means you always miss something because who really remembers which icons you did or didnt click on the first play through.

Love it

Really unique and great game design, has a nice feel to it and is overall very entertaining. Great work!

Awesome!

I love this game! Its super fun. The only thing is Ive had it for like a year and there hasnt been a single update, which is disappointing. It seems like it would be relatively easy to add more options and life paths in the game, and yet the creators just havent done so. Still the game is super fun and there is definitely enough content to make it worth the money. Also: there is a typo within middle adulthood in the top work icon. It says "non-alcoholic dring" instead of "drink".

Mixed Feelings

On one hand, this game is very clever and fun. Its basically a persons life categorized into different sections in which you attend to different events or aspects of that persons life. On the other hand, its extremely difficult to play if youre not an adult and its a bit creepy. If you choose two of three options on one question, you die. These situations are tragically real and this game interprets people so well its scary. Another thing is the persons friends and boyfriends/girlfriends. All of them, to me, seem like jerks. Your best friend tries to get you in trouble, your friend tries to make you uncomfortable, they throw you out to the wolves, your partners not reliable...several issues. Thats the only unrealistic thing. There are bad aspects of friends, but I havent seen a single positive trait in a friend besides the overweight outcast girl and the foreign exchange student. One situation that really angered and confused me was when the boyfriend kissed the persons best friend on New Years. After I got angry, the creator questioned why I made a big deal out of it.

Not as good as the arcade version

The lack of a virtual reality helmet makes the game a stripped down version of the one at your local Blipz n Chitz. Still fun, though. Wubbalubbalubdub!!!
