“An interesting story... Simple fun.” - The New York Times

Timecrest is a young adult fantasy where you are the main character. A young mage named Ash contacts you frantically through a pocket watch connecting to your iPhone asking for your help. Ash’s world, Alyncia, is about to be destroyed by falling meteors, but you demonstrate the ability to save Ash’s world by turning back time.

There isn’t long to celebrate as Ash is suddenly being hunted by someone who informs you that you’ve done the impossible–your use of time magic has broken the rules of magic.

Whether you save the world or do something else, your journey will take you through wondrous places where you’ll meet people that will either become your friends or your enemies.

The decision to experience this game is yours, but if you do adventure in Alyncia, it will be the journey of a lifetime.

- EXPLORE A MAGICAL WORLD. Timecrest pulls no punches with big emotional moments and plot twists across over 640,000 words.

Beautifully Created

I really appreciate the time and effort the developers put in this story to make it so spectacular. I still can’t believe that this awesome cream pie of an interactive storyline is free. The music soundtrack is superb; there’s just the right amount of peppy and outgoing, and deep and creepy. Ash is a wonderfully developed person, as well as all the other characters you’ll meet. You feel like you’re actually conversing with real people. Every decision you make affects what happens later in the story, and I’ve made many stupid decisions before I found my favorite timeline. The thought that goes into a world-build like this is enormous, and I just can’t thank the creators and developers enough.

On a side note, know that this game is not meant to be played in one or two days; it adds realism and suspense, as well as a connection to the characters. You can buy some stones (Tome Crystals) to speed up the time waiting, and I encourage you to do so, to help out the people who made this lovely chocolate milkshake! But waiting is also a good thing as well.

I can’t even remember how many run-throughs I’ve been through, but one at least at 9, and I’ve gotten new information almost every time in this story! I love it so much, 10/10 would recommend!

A game I keep coming back to, and will never stop playing!

The developers did an amazing job on this! A great job with making you feel like you’re talking to real people but from a different world. I’ve always wanted a game where you can do that. I’ve been playing this game for years, and I will always stay a loyal customer. The music is fantastic, the whole story is just amazing! I have a feature that would make this game even better! This is a more immersive part in the history. Do you think you could add the music changes in the history? I think it would make it more immersive while you’re reading, what you’ve done, and hearing how the story is literally shaped out to be. This is such an amazing game, and I find myself playing this every single day, I've played this game more times then I can count. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys magic. I also love that this is a real time game. I love the realism of it. keep up the great work, and I am very excited for Timecrest for!

Just Amazing

I personally have always been in love with “choose your own adventure” style books. I grew up with them and it’s always been a staple to my childhood. Sadly, as I’ve grown up through the years, there are less and less stories like this that are worth reading, I have looked through some apps that claim that they are choose your own adventure type stories, but it’s more like a choose your own death in 1min, or 5min. There’s no way that anyone can be entertained by those. With this app, it encapsulates you this great story to which you truly do get to dole out fate, you are able to choose what happens and your choices mean something else further along in the readings. This app is fantastic, not only do you get to enjoy the reading factor, you also get the gameplay with Morty and having an inventory where you can buy what you need to in order to keep Ash safe. This truly does deserve 5 stars, and anyone else that rated it lower just wasn’t looking for a good “choose your own adventure” styled app.
