Episode - Choose Your Story 12+

I’ve been an Episode player since 2016 and despite the many changes it has gone through over the years, I’ve never stopped loving it. It took a while for Episode to implement more diverse customisation options, but I’m really pleased at the variety they have now. Gem options is something that Episode usually gets critiqued for but for an app that’s free, they have to make their money somehow. A lot of people disregard community stories when first playing and I understand. Since Episode requires new players to read a certain amount of chapters to unlock the whole thing, many people see Episode for the whole ‘pay 30 gems to look hot or pay nothing at look ugly’. Once the whole app is unlocked, you can now access community stories. They are longer in the typically paid story which is around 12 chapters, and has little to no gem options. If there are, it’s usually an option to unlock bonus content (which are extra scenes that don’t affect the main plot), or a chance to support the author. Community stories need more recognition because their are definitely some amazing stories out there with 10/10 coding and plot. I’m not hating on the paid stories, but I wish people would stop judging Episode purely for its outrageous gem options, without giving community stories a chance.

I love this game! So many great stories, great ways to make character, and I love that you can make an account and make your own stories. I also like the different art styles you can have. I play this game a lot and it is an excellent way to pass time. However, my one “concern” with the game is how much limited choices cost, and how often they are. It is extremely hard to earn enough gems in the game without in app purchases. I go through almost every story not doing any limited choice because they cost so many gems. Some people aren’t able to make in app purchases for fun choices in the game, and I understand the app needs to make money seeing as it is rising is popularity excessively, but, 39 gems for going to some party with your love interest!?!? I’m not saying you NEED to lower your price for choices (although it would be good if they were lowered) but if there was somehow a way to earn more gems easier rather than earning just one gem from reading five chapters. I understand sometimes you get free passes for certain stories so you get a gem for each chapter you read, but it is still hard to do more than one limited choice every 5 stories. I still love this app, it is extremely enjoyable and I play it most. Good job!

I absolutely love this app. The way the stories are told and the amazing content. The ONE and ONLY thing that was extremely annoying for me (and probably many other players) was that you now have to do some sort of CODING to make your story! A little while ago in an older version of the game you could create the character movements and speech bubbles as well as their position and clothes with ease. What’s more, you now have to do the coding on a computer! I really want to make a story but I have no idea about coding and we only have one computer that barely even works!! I really dislike this update thing and I am begging you to change it. I believe I also talk for many many other players too.

A positive thing about this review is the thing where you can watch a video to have -30 min on your timer for your pass refill. The ONE thing I’m just going to say is it kind of annoys me is that sometimes it says there are “no more videos left” and you have to wait another hour. Other than that the stories are VERY VERY GOOD. One more thing I’m going to say is the gem choices impact the story very much but I can never seem to afford them.

Tysm if you read until the end. One extra thing: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GAME CREATORS CHANGE THESE THINGS I WOULD BE SO HAPPY IF YOU DID AND IT WOULD GET YOU ONE EXTRA FIVE STAR RATING TYSM TYSM TYSM :D
