Love and Passion: Chapters 17+

Love

Let me start off by saying I’ve never been one to buy things in games. I get bored to easily and don’t want to waste money on a game I might delete later. I love that with this game you don’t have to buy gems. You can watch videos for them or earn them making choices. I also love that there aren’t many major choices that will mess up the story. There’s a couple that you make that are like 25 gems but they don’t ruin the story if you don’t choose them, or at least it doesn’t seem to. My only issue with the app is the chapters seem to go by quickly. But they pack so much in to some of them even that doesn’t bother me to much. Over all I enjoy this app a lot. :)

Free gems disappear after purchase

Normally I would’ve given this app five stars, because the stories are great and lots of fun. I understand that developers need money, so the gems for choices are understandable, and I even wanted to support them by buying gems. My issue is that as soon as you purchase something in the app, the option to earn gems by watching ads completely disappears. I am not the first person to have had this issue. It seems to be a common issue on the forums, and it has happened on other apps that this company owns. As soon as I purchase something, I am no longer able to earn free gems through ads and therefore I’m forced to purchase more if I would like to continue. When I talk to customer service they tell me that the ads are through a third-party, and that there may not be any ads at the time for my area. However, other apps I’ve downloaded from this company that I have not made purchases in, I am still receiving ads for. So there are clearly ads available to me. I have been told to wait and hope that I receive ads one day, but otherwise I have not received any other help and the company has not reached out to the third party to solve the issue. I have been waiting for a month. Still nothing. So that’s cool. And sad, as I was enjoying the app. Unfortunately I will have to delete.

Good Game - But Just Like All The Rest

This game has good story lines and I like the uniqueness of adding classic Jane Austen stories into the mix.

But, just like most games of this genre it’s pay or be reprimanded. I understand that developers have to make money. So I understand that for example, when you pick a dress, there has to be nice ones that cost money and basic ones that don’t. However, when picking a dress you only get one option unless you want to essentially pay to play. Then, if you don’t pay up some gems the characters in the story get mad at you and are literally disgusted saying things like “ugh you’re not wearing that are you?”

Quite frankly that’s messed up. You are having characters in game making you feel bad about not spending money on micro transactions. Not that I necessarily think this game would break people’s bank but I just think it is a messed up precedent to be setting to literally make fun of and judge people who don’t spend money. Maybe I’m reading too much into it but idk games like this always make me mad because of this one feature. If I was left to just pick the free option and characters said nothing about it, I’d be fine. But they reprimand you for not paying and that really turns me and I feel a lot of people off of these games.

Again, interesting stories, but not interesting enough to make me play a game where pixels are judging me and making me feel bad about not paying money on a phone game.
