As always, another Buff Studio game I completely adore! I legit can't help but finish the story in one day when I play these games! (I don't get all the endings of course, but still). The characters are lovable, the plot is interesting, the art is beautiful, the only thing that kind of bothers me are the ads. Since the more you watch them the longer they take to be able to watch again. But other than that, I love this game. I really hope there will be more stories soon!

It's a fun game so far. But my issue with it is the tickets and how fast you blow through them. By watching an ad, you get 40 tickets. But the time for the next ad to get 40 more is constantly growing. It was a minute, now it's 3. This makes it harder to keep motivation to play. You can pay to get more, which is fine. Then you can play another game and beat certain objectives to get a bunch of tickets. Why not just give us more tickets for the ads we watch, keeps us playing your game instead?

The story so far is so fun and the characters are really cute! I really like the Oober driver and the dynamic between Chris and Riley especially. Having to collect the tickets isn't so bad since I often need time to think on a decision, so I just let the ad play while I take a short breather. Thanks for the fun app and keep it up!

Just tried the game and I'm love my only problem is that sometimes suddenly the gam forces me to exit and sometimes when I'm watching ads it suddenly exits too. There was one time while I use a ticket the forced me to exit and I lose the ticket and do the scene again. Please fix this on the future updates. It may be only on my device though so I don't really know. But in terms of storyline and the game itself totally recommend it! (PS. Please ignore my inability to use proper grammar though 😅)

So far I'm enjoying the story. The only thing I have an issue with is when you try to get more tickets through tapjoy. I never got the tickets and after using the help feature, the only email response I have gotten says that the tickets were rewarded. If they had been rewarded I would not have sent in a help request.

I super love this game!!! I saw an ad for it in Underworld Office (love that game too!) and I just had to check it out. I don't mimd watching ads for tickets (although they could give us more) and the story is great! Overall I love almost everything about the game and I want to thank the creator for making this and Underworld Office!!
