Wish there was away to choose gender I mean you could be a girl who snuck in to the army
It's a nice story. By the way, please make more war stories.
Great story, but short with a few different perspectives. Sadly your actions are more-or-less meaningless, but it's still very interesting to read through the story.
Simple and short, but with tons of possible paths that give it great replayability
Very well written story with plenty of interesting twists. Unlike many text-based games, the grammar is virtually perfect. Give it a try.
Really enjoyed the story
Great story puts it us quite emotional reading in a soldiers perspective,more stories about ww1 and past wars would be great for hosted games 😀
Absolutely out standing story. Although I have to agree with other viewers it does feel short the shortness adds to the intensity and realism. Had you taken on the role of a man fighting from 1914-1918 industry survived it all it would have felt much less raw and real. All the choices you make you have to be logical with and sometimes the right choice doesn't even feel right and sometimes you have to do what you need to to stay alive and that means using your head and sometimes don't be a hero.
I enjoyed it
I love this game so very much, it's super easy to use and it's fun
