I quite like the game. I had downloaded Underworld Office (OW) before, so I had a foundation for how good these games were when I started. I'm currently playing Not exactly a Hero, and the art style is just as pretty as ever - it even has the same five to twenty second ads in OW! There are freezes from time to time, but my devices experiences crashes often and even so this game hasn't overloaded it. This occupies minimal space, is easy maintenance and a lot of fun to play. 4/5 stars overall.

I adored it. You do have to watch ads for more tickets because they don't automatically recharge but they need to make money and I understand that. However this was so good because it had multiple routes. I finished one route but when I realized there was more I replayed everything but the thing is with every replay, something changes with dialogue or something so it's not too boring for the similarities. One of the best games, I'm obsessed

It was great to play another graphic novel after The Underworld Office. The story is great, and even greater the fact, that you can enjoy the game several times, by playing for different endings. The Underworld Office has changed my views on life and people in general. After finishing the game, I put my phone to the side and stared at the wall realizing, how much really our fates are depends on what we say. Great job Buff Studios, keep it up!
