Peter headed to the hunting lodge, when he suddenly lost his connection to his guide. He is in a forest, with no shelter, no people, and most importantly, no equipment or wilderness survival skills. His lifeline is a communicator to talk with his guide. But somehow, he's been connected to you. Try to figure out what really happened and how to get Peter out of this situation. * A truly exciting story with lots of unexpected plot twists and a nonlinear storyline. * There are no artificial pauses. The game goes non-stop and it's up to you to decide when to leave the hero without your attention. * Find items that will help in your progression. The development of the plot will differ depending on the objects used. * Sometimes the result depends on chance. The randomness is also affected by the items found and your previous decisions. With a second pass, everything can turn out quite differently. * In the course of the story you will meet different characters, and only you choose whom to help, with whom to go on a trip, and who is better to keep on distance. * Some scenarios lead to a successful ending, but do not reveal the whole story. Do you want to explore everything in more detail and understand the very essence of what is happening? Try to complete the game differently.

I think the reason I stoped and don’t finish is when I got to the drop point? caz I couldn’t figure out what I was supposed to do caz I tried every option but it simples I haven’t caz I would die no matter what?! besides that it’s REALLY! great game! there should be more sounds tho, like background sounds even tho u take ur time on making a decision. it would be amazing! if there was art in the background too! it would be unbelievable! if there would be a multiplayer version but it would make sense if it was on a whole different app and perhaps a different story but perhaps same theme? I would love to give ideas but I would ask to at least perks in the would be app if it would exist from my ideas

Beyond is one of the few text games where your decisions truly change the story. Unlike most others, you don’t always succeed when making the same decisions. And there is a huge replay factor- 10 possible winning outcomes. The story is dark and intriguing. You quickly realize Peter was set up, but now you need to help him safely get back home. The gameplay is fast- no countdowns while he sleeps. After 3 lives, you must watch a 30 second ad or wait 30 mins to try again. I think paying the $2 to unlock unlimited replays was totally worth the content the writer put in. My biggest complaint is that sometimes your choices aren’t considered. For example, whether you choose to hide outside or go into the booth, your next choice (hide/ greet) is written as if you were inside. My other issue is that items you find don’t always matter- the following text may be the same whether or not you have the item. But there are dozens of different things to find, and a path that guarantees your death will reveal a lot more than one that you live through. It’s definitely worth downloading.

I’ve played the game over several times, and no matter what I do, I end up dying. The objective shouldn’t be so difficult to see. I eventually gave up and uninstalled the game.

Does every ending create a monster?

If you like this kind of adventure, then go ahead and try it.There was no trouble with choosing different options. The story was creative and well built.I just couldn't handle the bloodlust at the end of 2 'true' endings. Every choice seemed to lead to either the character's death, or the hunters' deaths.....
