I started off skeptical but I must admit I am totally addicted now!! I love the option of redoing a messy decision and the story lines are so engaging. I wasn't able to put my phone down until I completed the entire story! Well done! Your continued stories make reading fun again!!! Fixes: Maybe to be able to choose the character you wish to play to allow for even more endings. The ability to do side adventures from the story, such as hunting, fishing or scavenging? More choices = more fun!! Ty!

I came into this app looking for a retro game of the Oregon trail, but the story I found was ten times better. Character development is amazing and the choices are quite cool. And even though the choices are quite exagerated, something I feared to ruin the story, ended up making it better. Every time I went to read it was an excitement and when I finished the story I was sad there was no other story available for free. Honesty from the creator about wifi setting is one more point. Amazing app.

This game tells a nearly addicting story that's hard to stop once you get going. Despite the fact that occasionally some details are stated backwards from how they originally were, they are hard to notice and not at all enough to effect the gameplay. Some options end up having you do something different, but narratively, this only has the effect of giving other characters a will. This is one of my favorite games, and it doesn't take up much storage space, especially compared to other games.

Such a wonderful, addicting read! It's a "choose your own" story with a great plot. I wish I could see a movie like this. I started "playing" after starting a book on The Oregon Trail that I couldn't get into. I was hungry for the adventure and to learn about the hardships (beyond the old PC game we played in school). This was wonderful. I'm not ashamed to say that I'm going to start replaying later today.

I love this game! If you like to read and choice games this one is definitely a good for you. I loved the plot and storyline. I did find a small bit of errors; they weren't big enough to be confusing or annoying for me though. It's addicting and it creates good visualization in the mind. I let honestly left me wanting more even though I didn't have enough coins for the next chapter Lol. I really loved it and you guys did such a good job on it!

I liked the writing, the story line, even the characters, but can it really be called "choice" when there are limitations on what can be achieved? I have played many text only RPG games, but this is the most disappointing one. Because when you care so much about the MC and their outcomes and then to be totally let down is pretty hard, especially when you are invested in the story. Spoiler alert, but the romantic interests for MC are limited and disappointing.

Unexpectedly absorbing, not sure what I thought it would be but it certainly kept me reading through the chapter. If you love reading, I absolutely recommend this. Exactly like reading some fiction except you get to steer the storyline with choices. I would have given it 5 stars, but I felt like there could have been one or two more chances to make a decision. Overall an awesome experience 👍

Overall a fun game and a good story! There was one part where I could tell the choices got a little mixed up (the narrator mentioned the results of a choice opposite to the one I picked) but it didn't seem to change the outcome of the game, so I wasn't too bothered. Wish there wasn't a limit on the amount of videos you could watch for coins, but I get it. I'm really enjoying it!

The game has a lot of reading but I enjoy the story so that's no big deal. What I do dislike about the game is the need for coins to unlock the Chapters. You have the option to pay .99 to get only 5 coins and no ads, but i still have ads at the bottom of my screen. I think that should unlock all of the chapters. I enjoy the game and coins are keeping me from playing the remaining chapters. I tried to watch videos for more coins but they were unavailable and used up my tries anyway for the day.

It was a fun game and not too ridiculous as to be unrealistic like some historical fiction games I've played. Some of the rewarded answers didn't make the most sense to me, but I made it through the game alright. I wasn't super thrilled with the ending I got, but I probably won't replay the game either. It would feel weird, like rewriting the ending to an established book. 🙃 It was a fun game, though, and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes girls' American historical fiction stories.

Amazing!! I NEVER leave reviews when it comes to apps and/games. However, this app is incredibly well written, adventurous, and an all around great read and I found myself unable to put the story down! It's interactive and engaging! I loved the memories it brought back of playing the Oregon trail on my PC so many years ago with such an incredible storyline that even caused me to tear up a few times! I cannot praise it enough!

Lyr. C. Aug 15, 2019     

i really love this game!! i love the adventure and the romantics and the rude brother in laws ;) the ads are not bad at all in my opinion, they are well placed and quite short. my only complaint is that sometimes videos are not available to watch for coins which is very frustrating when i need money to get to the next story. other than that, great app!

All. B. Oct 14, 2019     

Good storyline. Not what i thought it would be (why cant someone just give us an oregon trail as it WAS!?), however seems 2 be a nice, simple, relaxing game. Sort of an amped up choose-your-own-adventure book. Just finished the prelude where coins were not needed. If i get 2 a point where i can't go on unless i pay 2 play i guess ill just be stuck there.

I liked the story, story telling generally good. But as with the other games from Delight Games I don't like the choices system very much - too linear, too distracting, often mismatch between choice and conseqence, and sometimes inconsistencies in the text between the aftermath of individual choices and the following text.

I really enjoyed this story! It was well written and I found myself smiling a lot. I cant wait to try more interactive stories! I saw some people commenting that u couldn't change what happens no matter what u chose and yeah of course there is gonna be a main story line they stick to, but I did go back and change some choices in the last chapter and got two totally different endings.

eLk. R. Sep 4, 2019     

Not bad. I enjoyed it. You can go back to the beginning of the chapter to change your responses. I kinda wish you didn't have to start over to change them, but that didn't stop me from playing thru to the finish. At least your choices could be altered. However, I wouldn't pay to play this as it wasn't very long. The ads were annoying, so I did pay .99 to stop them.

Had a lot of potential but ultimately turned out to be only an illusion of choice throughout the game. The lack of choice and total loss of the relationship development at the ending made me I hadn't wasted my time on it. Ending is basically HIMYM all over again, it negates all the character development and choices you've made so far to force you into choosing a guy who barely has character development. Do not recommed.

dev. e. Mar 13, 2019     

no real choices. it doesn't matter how you play this game it pushes your character into a relationship with Simon or into being a school marm if you're resistant like me. you can ignore him the entire game it doesn't matter. also some things will happen even if you choose another option. the game would be much more interesting if you had a wide variety of scenarios. the writing was engaging but there were a lot of grammatical errors. tbh I spent 3 days playing this and I'm disappointed.

I enjoy this prequel...a backstory of sorts! Reminds me of the original "Oregon Trail" (from the 1980s computer early years!) and "Choose Your Own Adventure" book series from, yes, the 1980s. If you remember those books, you might be able to find them in an attic, at a yard sale, or at your public library!!

Lau. A. Nov 10, 2018     

Fun read but needs updating. There are several typos and even wrong names in places that are distracting. Also, would prefer more options re: who Beth ends up with. I feel Caleb was well suited for her and the options force her to end up with Simon. Disappointing. However, overall, the read was fun, engaging and creative. Thank you for the read!

100% recommend. At first I wasn't so into it at the beginning, but continuing was totally worth it. There's so many ways you can play out your story in this breathtakingly complex story (in a good way). It was so entertaining and fun, and the only thing I fear now is not being able to find another story to compare!

Adr. K. May 8, 2022     

This game is amazing, there are dome easy levels, and some that are quite challenging. That's what makes the game so much fun, I mean who doesn't live a good challenging, yet simple game. It really feels like your actually there. Most definitely a 10 out of 10.

Hello! I enjoyed this frontier adventure game SO much! Ty! I'm browsing your other book/game sections, but cant find anything similar. I would LOVE to read a continuation of this story or one historically like it. Really good job! One minus... Unlocking the next chapter with coins was annoying. I just wanted to go directly to the next chapter.

Hai. G. May 24, 2021     

Amazing game! I absolutely loved the story of a girls fight for independence on the trail! It's also nice to have a game that while it requires coins (gotta make money to make more amazing games) the option to watch adds instead of doing daily coins is so convenient! I was able to play through the whole game twice in one day! Keep up the amazing work!

Sou. d. o. Apr 2, 2019     

Such a lovely story! I really enjoyed the challenge and Simon is such a cutie!! Not to be dramatic but i would literally die for him. Only thing I minded was the coins. Watching multiple videos was kind of a bother and I couldnt always figure out all the achievements. But otherwise it's a great game!

I discovered this app while searching for an Oregon Trail game similar to the iconic one that I loved to play on the computer as a child. This is indeed addictive and although I found myself delighted to have finally finished the story, I was also disappointed that it was over as I found myself to have become so fond of the characters that I had hoped there would be a sequel so I could see how their stories continued. Very well written and entertaining story!

Can. D. Nov 10, 2019     

So far i love this game. It really reminds me of playing the original Oregon Trail game, but in the form of a story. I wish there was a way to take a break from the storyline and go virual hunting like in the original game! I enjoy the choose your own adventure aspect of it. My only other suggestion would be to maybe have the ability to pick which character you would like to be or include your real name in place of the girl characters name :) this game is awesome! Great job

I love reading and making the decisions. At first when I had to play a female I didn't think I'd enjoy it but it's actually a very interesting story so far (just finished chapter 4). Also, very frustrating that the guys don't think she can do anything useful which is probably accurate for the men at the time. Overall enjoying it.

Les. O. Jan 28, 2021     

This is very reminiscent of the original Oregon Trail computer game, only in text rather than animation. The milestones, issues, tragedies, and choices are pretty much the same as the old game. I happened to really enjoy that game, so this one was very hard to put down. The only suggestion I have is that it would be cool to be able to go back, make a different choice, and see what the outcome would be.
