This week's reviews

Here's what people are reading and what they're saying about it. This thread dedicated to @RKrallonor, the only one who was interested in seeing it! I'll update every few days, at least for awhile or as long as there's interest. Giving you guys the real scoop here you won't find in the Gazette, the RAW and UNCURATED peek into the obscure cracks and crevices of the storygame list that all the random driveby readers briefly wash up against as they pass into the great unknown, never to be seen again. (And once in awhile it's one of you guys!) I'm not doing any editing on these except for putting in line breaks between them, if I see a big review I'll just mention it and link the actual storygame. Listed from most recent to oldest, because that's how we roll here. ***** Demonya07 on 2/17/2025 for Orpheus [delete] A WONDERFUL MASTERPIECE!!! Demonya07 on 2/17/2025 for Forgotten Rose [delete] Interesting... It just needs much more details. chuck on 2/17/2025 for The Maze Runner [delete] suck my cock chuck FakhryINDO on 2/17/2025 for Eternal [delete] Its good Lucas on 2/16/2025 for Harry Potter: Sorting Hat Quiz [delete] I’s gud you should also touch some grass NotSoSpecial on 2/16/2025 for Could YOU be a pilot in WW1? [delete] Very cool and informative, no nonsense. A bit dry in prose and storytelling, but a very good contribution to the site! Looking forward to seeing more stories you publish! MushMan on 2/16/2025 for Could YOU be a pilot in WW1? [delete] 5/8 as someone who likes history, I really enjoyed this game. Rydia on 2/16/2025 for The Tale of the Foolish Princess [delete] Amazing but I've read much worse rating wise on this site, the rating on these compares with level 6 of others work. Great story by the way! Mizal on 2/16/2025 for Fluttershy's Secret of gods and Satan - Zombie Edition [delete] Also, read Mercer Gang! Mercer Gang! Mizal on 2/16/2025 for Fluttershy's Secret of gods and Satan - Zombie Edition [delete] Lol, who has been commending all these? Anyway, I feel like ISentinelPenguinI had the most insightful comment on this one elsewhere, so I'll just shamelessly paste it: "In reading Jung he made the same mistake that Jung did, in that flattening unique products of the human experience to archetypes is a useful thing for *starting* to learn about something, but when you treat these broad restructuralizations you came up with for comparison as if that's what they actually are, you come out with a fundamentally narrowed worldview that severely compromises your ability to really understand people who aren't *you.* Which is the main thing I get from the story. It's this repeated and annoying diagnosis of what other people *must* feel because that's the way flutter would feel if he were them, in the place of actual empathy and understanding." MOUSA on 2/16/2025 for Escape School [delete] ME HIRE ME SCHOOL ESCAPE Sherbet on 2/16/2025 for Fluttershy's Secret of gods and Satan - Zombie Edition [delete] Just commenting so that ThatChicken doesn't have to be the only one in the comment section who isn't featured. I see you, and I'm here for you. Story's pretty bad btw ... on 2/16/2025 for The Quick Dating Game [delete] eh it was okay but i was confused a lot of the time Mikey on 2/15/2025 for Harry Potter: Sorting Hat Quiz [delete] This is the best..I’m in raven claw!!!😇10/10!!! RKrallonor on 2/15/2025 for Who wants to be a Supervillain? [delete] This game was short, but it has a lot of potential! I really like the use of items in this game, and there are a lot of stuff you can do. The major issue is that the game quickly ends once it starts to get interesting, but it shows a lot of promise. Demonya07 on 2/15/2025 for Seraph Serenade [delete] There should definitely be a second part where the boy looks for the girl and finds out she's in the Orphanage. He asks his parents if they can take her in as their daughter in order to help her. Ventuoro on 2/15/2025 for Through Time [delete] This is just Gold, everything is it. Just, i wish endings may be easier to find, cuz i after many tries of being myself in the game, i didnt get any good end until i checked walkthrought and discovered that taking Tina from school didnt let me get the Allison ending. Anyways, i love this, and would love to get a girlfriend like Allison... Fire_Of_The_Universe on 2/15/2025 for Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? [delete] 8/8 As a geography nerd, I had a lot of fun playing this! Fire_Of_The_Universe on 2/15/2025 for Hockey Quiz: What NHL player are you! [delete] 2/8 This was poorly made Lila’s on 2/15/2025 for The Yandere Game [delete] It’s nice BOB on 2/15/2025 for Exploding Alarm Clock - Return that item! [delete] best game so far gonn g play prequell orionshine on 2/14/2025 for Heavenspire [delete] I sail for Heavenspire. I fight for Heavenspire. I am loyal to Heavenspire. I am its savior... orionshine on 2/14/2025 for Mercer Gang [delete] this story is bussin orionshine on 2/14/2025 for The Affair [delete] my stupid bitch mc became a single mom pp on 2/14/2025 for The Mystery of the Mysterious Time Machine [delete] I am very happy wit hmy cavemen bros RKrallonor on 2/14/2025 for The Ocean's Daughter [delete] This was really sweet. I can totally see why it's featured. I love the way the author used specific details like Marina's love of strawberries, the secret garden, and the smell of ocean to create such a wholesome experience. I felt that the relationship between Marina and Brandon was written really well! I did feel that the ending was a little rushed. After all those sweet memories, there's no way Marina would leave just like that. I think you could have written the ending a little better, or at least made the farewell a bit more emotional. Regardless, this was a good romance, and until the ending I had no complaints. Well done. Isaiah on 2/14/2025 for Phoenician Trade Game [delete] good very good GoldenZephyr on 2/14/2025 for Goldbird and Whispers of Snow [delete] This had real promise, but most choices lead to the same place. There's very little player control, which is too bad. C'EST MOI on 2/14/2025 for The Quick Dating Game [delete] I'm allergic to peanuts :) definitely better than reeses mason on 2/14/2025 for Kidnapped...or not [delete] kidnp I don't remember on 2/13/2025 for Life as a Dog [delete] Good i guess yaffa on 2/13/2025 for Harry Potter: Sorting Hat Quiz [delete] it was really fun and amazing RKrallonor on 2/13/2025 for Monster [delete] Monster was a really good story! This was even better than Warden! And warden was already a really good story! I thought that the monster would be impersonating her grandpa, so I was surprised that it was actually her grandpa. I think you integrated the family aspect really well here as well. I like that it was quick and easy, yet scary as hell! The lore of the "Reborn" company was really interesting. But why did that "Reborn" rep end his sentences with :D, that seemed odd to me lol. I did love that chilling messages he leaves after knowing the grandpa can't respond anymore since he turned into a monster, that was evil as hell! I liked the different endings available. I think the only criticism is that we didn't get a fully happy ending where we cured the grandpa or took down the company, but then again, this is horror, so just escaping alive or killing the monster is as good as it gets. Nicely done! RKrallonor on 2/13/2025 for Warden [delete] Good job Sherb, I really enjoyed this story! This is my second Sherb story, but the first one I read in its entirety. I started with Reborn, and I'll probably revisit it to discover the full story, but for now I'm going to review Warden. This is a really short story that does an excellent job of packing in a ton of story. I like how you didn't waste any time getting to the horror. For a story like this, you want to start in the midst of the action. I feel like if you started with actually describing the car chase and meeting the demon, it wouldn't be as effective. This story was really scary. I enjoyed all the charadcters(MC, daughter/sister demon, father demon, and mom demon). I think my favorite character was the girl demon because of how ordinary her speech was. I liked the dysfunctional family dynamic, it was a creative and interesting choice. As well as making the girl demon talk like a normal person, that was interesting. For such a short story, there was a good amount of branching. I liked how so many things could happen to you. The writing was top-notch, you did a really good job establishing the suspense and mystery of this strange family of demons. I also liked the different monster descriptions, this was cool! Thanks for this story Sherbet. Mythico214 on 2/13/2025 for The Price of Freedom: Innocence Lost [delete] Ok that was intense but fun no on 2/13/2025 for Harry Potter: Sorting Hat Quiz [delete] terrible John on 2/13/2025 for Phoenician Trade Game [delete] The game was massive Fire_Of_The_Universe on 2/13/2025 for The Mystery of the Mysterious Time Machine [delete] 5/8 I really liked the amount of options you had and that you also included the handwritten notes when you originally wrote it. GoldenZephyr on 2/12/2025 for The Sanguine and Blackbeard's Cutlass [delete] This is fun. All hail Xolotl. I'll have to look up that guy. Most of the Aztec gods weren't very nice... remey on 2/12/2025 for The Hunger Games [delete] bad Ogre11 on 2/12/2025 for The Mystery of the Mysterious Time Machine [delete] It was kind of mysterious RKrallonor on 2/12/2025 for The Mystery of the Mysterious Time Machine [delete] I enjoyed the integration of the notes you wrote as a kid into the story, that lends the story a homemade feel. It was really adorable, and that was a nice touch. I’d also like to commend you for 14 years on the site, that’s really impressive. I enjoyed the hand-made quality of the story, and I liked the branching. And for an 11 year old this was really impressive. Thank you for this story, I thought it was really cool. Obviously, the writing could use some work, but I think you already know that. The passion for writing is obvious though, and for that, well done! SunnyBee2004 on 2/12/2025 for A Day In The Life of A Slice of Bread [delete] Really simple and silly but it is kind of fun! Not really a story driven game, it reads more like it was a test game to warm up on writing. fresh_out_the_oven on 2/12/2025 for The Mystery of the Mysterious Time Machine [delete] This story feels quaint and endearing. The inclusion of images from the notebook it was originally written in is a nice touch, and there’s a nostalgic feel added with the page numbers added in the links. Even the name has a childlike charm. Your handwriting was awful, though. Since you wrote this a long time ago, there’s not really any point in telling you how you could improve the writing; part of the story’s appeal is that you’ve copied it down exactly how it once was. Not bad writing at all for a child; a decent length, too. And don’t worry, we’re all nerds here. LONGER on 2/12/2025 for Choose your Life [delete] NEED TO BE LINGer Galen on 2/12/2025 for Phoenician Trade Game [delete] This game is not better than Fortnite but it is pretty good, I think they should add a ninja skin and maybe lazarbeam too overall Fortnite double pump out of 10 Bryson dotohdot on 2/12/2025 for Unbroken [delete] Not bad per se, but not as good as the comments make it out to be. btw is there a good ending RKrallonor on 2/12/2025 for This Fate [delete] This is really good. Wow! This story blew me away with its quality and storytelling. Nicely done! Kaitlyn Dawn on 2/11/2025 for Forensic Toxicology [delete] I wanna say I was hooked from the very beginning involving this case due to the fact I wanna do this as a career. I was so invested I made calculated decisions and took note of everything and every major and even minor detail and even before the end I knew who did it because I had a gut feeling and I trusted it. 9.6 7 FM on 2/11/2025 for Choose your Life [delete] THIS IS SUCH A BULLSHIT GAME FRRR like theres no fucking options

This is really good, wow. How do you guys keep track of all these reviews/comments?

Modding really is a tough job, and as always, major props to keep this site alive and well.

There are so many generic zoomer comments in this thread to the point where as I keeping reading, I felt my sanity slowly ebbing away. All the "fr"s and the one word comments are crazy. At least there was no skibidi this week.

Luckily, to counterbalance all those comments, there were a lot of really good comments as well that actually talk about the story they're commenting on.

This was a cool inside-look, thanks Mizal. I would love to see these keep coming, it's good that the site gets a lot of traffic and comments.

Also why is the Phoenician Trading game the one to attract all the brain dead morons? What about "phonenican trading" is so appealing for people who want to write stupid stuff in the comments? It's so random, lol, how that game in particular just happened to be the one that gets all the ridiculous comments.

On the mod page we have a very cramped little scrolling box from the days before modern screen resolutions that all game comments get dumped into in unformatted lumps. Kind of difficult to interact with on a phone, but it goes back a few days and it's enough to tell at a glance if someone is spamming or whatever.

The Phoenician Trade game is one of those that some teacher must really like, because it gets swarmed by classrooms pretty regularly. It might have originally been written by a student actually.

Maze Runner and Choose your Life get swarmed a lot too despite them not even being published.

This gave me a mixture of thoughts, and God listened to them. Madhavi Kukreja on 2/22/2025 for Christmas. [delete] it just reminded of my school times. as I studied in a catholic school. I just love reading it back. RK reviews True Life! Cece on 2/22/2025 for Harry Potter: Sorting Hat Quiz [delete] poop Kshitij Rana on 2/22/2025 for The Ramayana [delete] it was fun mephisto on 2/22/2025 for The Quick Dating Game [delete] this really wasn't fun, srry Jordan on 2/22/2025 for Dead Man Walking (Zombie Survival) [delete] This is an absurdly great zombie story. I managed to get to the best ending possible after being either bitten or deaths (reached for fire axe, went behind the school, and chose the wrong barricades for the bus). I felt very bad for Abby, but I did not want to take second chances and risk Jacob's life after she turned. 😭 Great story yet again. Favour on 2/22/2025 for Witch Hunter: An Uninvited Guest [delete] I will not be afraid god is always there RKrallonor on 2/21/2025 for Monster Trivia [delete] Awesome! This game was fun!

CJ on 2/21/2025 for The Maze Runner [delete] easy. laccaca on 2/21/2025 for Wheeler & Brandt LLP [delete] no Kareemah santnanalowney on 2/21/2025 for A Titanic Experience [delete] I like the book and i think you should do more about the Titanic also I thank you for helping me persuaded me to read this book again have a great rest of your life suriyah on 2/21/2025 for A Titanic Experience [delete] this game is fun like I love The Titanic now Zoyo on 2/21/2025 for Edithe Zilonis [delete] This story had a unique style and some well-written characters. The premise, of an undertaker who can speak to the dead, is very interesting. However [SPOILERS AHEAD] the story doesn't feel like it concludes properly. We can learn WHAT happened, but not really WHY. Certain lines of enquiry are not really fleshed out fully, and it feels a bit... lacking. There are also some english language errors that make it a little hard to follow at times. Overall it's an intriguing story but it's very clear that it's just an add-on to a core concept that's played out in other stories, and is not great as a stand-alone. 2763 on 2/21/2025 for 8 goals, 28 rolls [delete] its just good. Josh Nauert on 2/21/2025 for The Mystery of the Mysterious Time Machine [delete] It was good but too short JonJonny on 2/20/2025 for Through Time [delete] ..This was beautiful And, I don't cry at much.. but this bring tear or two . Wow this was... f-wow this was incredible. I was in a mood for, romance, something big, epic - needed something uplifting. And this was.. so bittersweet, and incredible!! And, interesting - really intriguing story. I have no idea if this is considered overreacting or not - but first thing's first I'm gonna see if you've made anything else! Shit this was beautiful.. Thank you for making it . :) More, please.... sneals2big on 2/20/2025 for Dead Man Walking (Zombie Survival) [delete] I LOVE BIG CHUNGUS!! big chungus on 2/20/2025 for Rogues [delete] i like Ana Ross on 2/20/2025 for ChooseYourLife [delete] hi it was very funny to do your game x Rydia on 2/20/2025 for What Triumph Looks Like [delete] Welp, I really hope you continue the story.

Nice, quick and relatively simple story, just like it said on the packet. Evelyn Ni on 2/20/2025 for Harry Potter: Sorting Hat Quiz [delete] I love this quiz! Sunny on 2/19/2025 for Surviving The Black Plague [delete] It was fun but really short benholman44 on 2/19/2025 for Basic History/Geography Quiz [delete] I honestly hope your failure to log onto this site in nearly six years is due to you dying of COVID or something. oceankittyppp on 2/19/2025 for Go Get The Mail! [delete] I died like 10 times trying to get the mail. Why must getting the mail be so dangerous?! a man on 2/19/2025 for The Affair [delete] not bad, I don't like reading allat tho Steve_the_Lemon on 2/19/2025 for Lemon Simulator 2015 [delete] Nothing like being burnt with my muffin to make it feel like a productive day. Do lemons even have mouths? Steve the Lemon on 2/19/2025 for Lemon Simulator 2015 [delete] Never before had I known what a hard life lemons had. I have sympathy for them now.

It's interesting to see who the more regular commenters are (even if they're just commenting one-liners or words in all caps). I suppose if any noobs start making a lot of good comments, this is a good way to keep track of that and maybe reward them with points for longer-term retention.

The thought of showing up on this page consistently is almost enough to make me write some reviews.
