The Arcana

This game is extremely frustrating, requiring you you to pay almost 5$ for every major choices. The economic design is really aggressive and forces you to make choices you don't want to if you can't afford a stupid amount of money on it. Even paying the price of a full AAA game (70$) would not allow you to make all the choices you want. That's really a shame for a narrative game based on choices. Otherwise the graphics are really beautiful, the story is captivating and well written.

That game is the best I've played so far! The story is breathtaking, the characters awesome and really attractive lmao, and the graphics wonderful! And the fact that paying for scenes is only an option and won't change the end of the story is also super cool! I highly recommend it to everyone who likes that kind of game, you'll have a lot of fun and maybe you'll become a bit addicted, but who cares? ;)

I really love this game! I think I have no problems with it; the story and tales are great, love the daily things,and the whole aesthetic of it! I am very happy with the recent update that allows more coins in the daily tarot, it really helps since there are more tales coming out. (Even tho I dont have enough coins for those ^^') Anyhow, I think this is great and I would recommend it to friends who enjoy visual novels! Especially with the representation. So yeah, Thank You :)

The only ads are ones you elect to watch for extra coins. Keys regenerate fast and there are lots of free infinikey weekends. The buy-in story options aren't necessary, but you will want certain ones much more than you expect to. You do not have to pay real money to get coins, but doing so will require a fair bit of patience and dedication. They continue to put out bonus chapters, mostly on holidays. All in all, great game. Can't recommend it enough. Tip: Start with Lucio or you'll hate him.

10000/10, I've been playing this game for almost a year and I'm still not even half through all the game play. There's just so much content and extra stuff, there's really something for everyone here. There is an option to spend money on extra coins but it's pretty easy to get them without spending anything. Plus the only ads you get are ones you watch for extra coins so they don't randomly pop up. This game has awesome art, great stories and characters, and I'd definitely recommend it 👍

Playing this game for a while now, and lemme just say, AMAZING. Art design is splendid, stories are compelling, and the characters are to DIE FOR. They have such great personalities. Thing I dont like though, is the coins. Dont get me wrong, most of the options are pretty cheap, but then there are some that are like 200 coins! It takes time to get coins, and lots of redo on the spin wheel. I love how it has an ad option for 10 coins, thats amazing. I just wish it had more than 3-4 add at a time

I've been playing this game for a while and I've really been liking it. I like that you can go through the story's premium choices without paying extra; watching, ads it is achievable. Then one day all my extra coins just disappeared. Now it's hard to want to save coins because I don't know if they will stick around to use on the next premium choice or just disappear.

I wish there were more simple ways to earn coin, but a damn good game if i do say so myself. I have a potato phone and it runs smoother than water on glass panes. I only wish there were more like it. Great storytelling, fantastic graphics and colors, and ridiculous amount of gameplay (which is absolutely fantastic). All in all, couldn't be better.

I love this game! So much fun and with an amazing story. I recommend this game 1,000%. They manage to make all the stories connect while still making then unique for each character. Amazing art, fun characters and story. I love, love, love this game! Small side note: when you finish getting either the reversed or upright ending. It's a bit tricky to get the other ending because it doesn't mark the last chapter you played after when you do a rerun.

It really stands alone in the choice-based text adventure games I've played. The art, the story, the immersion, it's very well done. I also feel like there are many ways to gain coins with optional side games or ads. I never feel like I'm waiting for keys or coins. It's properly paced and tons to do. I'm so in love with this game.

From my experiences with this game(it's been 2 years) , I must say that I'm quite satisfied with how many coins we get. (it used to be much less) I've always loved the character designs and characters in the game in general. The music, backgrounds and character developments are awesome and I could not ask for more. The nix hydra shop is also very satisfying, I bought myself the tarot and the book and everything arrived safely and looked wonderful. Truly a lovely game,

I love this game! The only problem I have is the lack of coin management. For the coins, I have no problem using them to buy things such as second wheels chances, more lives for heart hunter, etc. But when I want to get a small bit more by watching in ad I can't see the option anywhere?? I'm very confused. This happens a lot of times and I don't know why.

Arcana is great! Really Love that the pronoun option is open anytime, so if your a genderfluid player you can easily switch. All the charcaters have great stories! And I am a sucker for multiple endings witch is what it brings! On the downside you have to pay for coins. I know you can get coins free but you only get so much it takes me at 3 days to get a option I want. Its worth it but it takes a long time. Would give it 4 but the snake is to cute!

Fun and interesting stories, but it takes a LONG time to get the coins needed to unlock memories unless you spend real money and not every paid choice gives a memory. It would also be nice if one could go back to previous chapters to review without costing keys. Some of the outfits seem to appropriate from Rroma culture, and there's other issues. Cool story but sometimes cringe

Really enjoyed this game a while back when I got it but only now redescovered it in my games folder on my phone. I had to stop playing due to the pay wall to the scenes that really make the game worthwhile in the first place and I just couldn't spend money like that on coins. It wouldve been so much better if you just charged a flat sum for the game and have a free version with ads, withough the special romantic scenes. Apart from that's, Really good and immersive game.

This visual novel weaves quite the tale that is intriguing, heart warming and exciting. The issue lies with the extremely disgusting microtransactions. In order to have the freedom to navigate each route to your liking, you have to spend a TON of money on coins. The free coins you can get are too little to be of any use. The key system for unlocking chapters is fine, but the coins destroy an otherwise fantastic story. I hope they shy away from greedy practices in the future.

I started playing The Arcana years ago, when they were just developing the story, and have only just returned to it after trying Nix Hydra's other app, FictIf (which is also great). I was completely in love then, but now I'm even more in love with the story and the characters. There's so much to do in the app besides the main stories, so I enjoy spending time in app. Lots of rewards for visiting daily, so that you can reasonably build up your coins without having to pay. Stories have 2 endings.

The art style and story line is absolutely amazing! But it's really hard to play how you want unless you pass up coin choices, buy coins or save up for a long time. I think a way to complete offers for coins or have some sort of easier way to get them would be great. Would definitely be a 5 star rating if coins were made easier to get, that's the only fault I have found in the game. Y'all did a great job though, this game is a masterpiece.

Love the game! The stories are incredible, I'd only say that I enjoyed Lucios the least, it was predictable, and playing as the character didnt feel dynamic enough. Otherwise, I wish it was easier to get coins and keys, waiting 6 hours to get a little chunk of the story gets boring sometimes, and buying loads of keys is expensive too. Wish there was another way to get them. The game is super beautifully made however, and very well written.

I really love this game, the story is compelling, the characters are great and the art style is beautiful. The one thing that does drive me crazy though is the need to pay a large number of coins (relative to the number you can earn via dailies) to choose certain paths. This can get really expensive in real money if you need to buy coins. In all honesty, I would happily pay a flat price for a fully unlocked version of the game instead, this game is worth paying for, just not repeatedly.

This game is AMAZING!! I wanted to download it for a long time and now that i finally have i don't regret it one bit. The story is fantastic, the art style is gorgeous, and you can choose your pronouns! That's the best thing ever, and you even have they/them pronouns which is so cool! Seeing 1 story from 6 different angles (kind of) is really cool and fun. The only problem i have is the coins. It's a bit hard to get them and you need to be really patient and i'm not necessarily a patient person

I love the art, story and characters featured in this game. I find it a huge comfort. The only criticism I have is I wish Coins were easier to obtain without real money. I would love for that to be possible so I could unlock more game options without wasting so much real world time. My last critique Is that it would be so interesting if more side stories or even a whole separate route could be added for the courtiers. They are very interesting characters I feel more could be done with. :)

It's a really really fun game with beautiful art and a great soundtrack! My only problem is the three key limit unless you buy more because I take around 3 hours for each key to reload and I just want to go through it so fast haha 😊 the idea of getting coins is really simple but you got to keep up with it too but it's generally not that big a difference with the options. The story telling is great and the pacing is also good.

This story game is one of the best ones I played. it runs fairly smoothly, experience very little glitches almost none. the coin system is a little annoying. especially when you're really set on a certain story outcome and have to wait a few days to rack up enough coins you .could always pay for the coins but it's better for your bank account to not do that it's pretty addicting XD

It's a great game, the coins are easy to get and you can get them in large quantities so that you can unlock the special chapters for characters you choose. It's a very fun game and the dialog is amazing, so are images you get with the coin paying routes. The art looks so good!! I highly recommend this game especially if you like role playing games. Another great thing is that they let you pick your pronouns and give the option for They/them pronouns!
