    Really enjoying this game so far. Appreciate the brand-new update that shortens the time between communications - they were a bit long before.

    It's definitely a lifeline clone, nothing revolutionary for anyone that's played those games. But it's well executed.

    My biggest quibbles are:

    1) the button graphics (after you select an option) are inverted for how they should be. The SELECTED option should be depressed (and darkened, as it already is), while the option you didn't pick should look like it hasn't been clicked (and grey out the text).

    2) I'm not feeling quite the same depth of attachment as I did to the lifeline characters. I suspect this is partially because the game assumes a previous relationship, dumping me into a convo where I already "know" him but not really. Also, there definitely isn't quite the same level of snarkiness and quirkiness in the dialogue to endear me.

    That being said, a solid effort so far, and I look forward to seeing how the story progresses. The writing is very solid, and happy to report NO typos thus far (a pet peeve). Definitely worth a couple bucks (though I was kindly given a code to test for free)

    Hello Platyduck! Thank you) We are happy you enjoy the game improvements.

    Right! We were inspired by Lifeline series. These games are so emotional, fresh and fun! One of the greatest iOS entertainment! Another inspiration was a Nerdist podcast with J.J. Abrams, he gave a hint that helped us find the story;))

    Now after you've mentioned this issue, we can't believe we haven't fixed this before)) Totally agree!

    We agree, it's not as snarky as Lifeline, and the relationship is more difficult to establish as preexisting. The premise doesn't really allow for you to just meet Sam when the game starts. We are now thinking how to improve it.

    Thank you for your review, kind words and support!

    Reading it for some days and I like a lot this game.
    Yes it's like another lifeline game but it has personality in the story. I will be happy yo buy your next games.

    One thing I don't like it's that using a pebble watch every notification go there. I solved this disabling notifications for the app and is not really a problem
