Time of the Dead : Story Game

I downloaded this app four days ago. I was instantly hooked and I loved yeob and the others. Pros: - easy to get gems. My first play through I was close to 400 gems but accidentally spend some at late game. - story is a little different than most otome games. - MC has an avatar. This is a personal for me, I love seeing mc interact with the world around her, rather than being a self insert. - no wait time! You can binge read the story. No cool down or nothing… there is a “drawback” to this. Cons: - Ads, Ads and more ads. Even though the ads did not bother me as much. It might bother others, this game has a lot of ads. - gem offers one thing I hate more than ads is offers. - flavor text locked behind paywall. Usually in these games, mc is overwhelmed by the love interests and some spicy interactions are behind paywalls. - Looking for a otome game? This isn’t the game for you. While there is obvious hints that the LIs are into you, all expect one treats you like a friend. If you want something more you have to pay for the attention - gem prices are rather expensive for the little amount you can get. - free players locked to one route. The game has a ton of endings and it requires you to be close to the one of the LIs. If you binge read the story and don’t pay for romance interactions, mc will get the “bad ending “. - grindfest, repetitive story and hidden cool down. If you are a free player and want a different ending, you will have to grind for it. Give gifts to the LIs you like and wait 24 hours till you can gift them again. Replaying the story with limited choices had killed it for me. - story and chapters are short. I wish they were longer and a season 2. Alot of things in this story went unanswered for me. - translation needs more work. Sometimes I was confused on what mc or one of the LIs (especially yeob) was saying.

I personally cannot believe how good the story was, honestly. It’s a great game. The characters are lovable, the action is thrilling, my only issue is how high the pricing is. It got to a point where I had to pay to get the ending where I could further the story with one of the characters. The prologue itself is pricey, outfits and certain lines. And I can’t get invested enough to earn only one of the in-game currency every day, not when the lines cost 100, and the outfits 450. I would honestly buy some if, again, the pricing wasn’t so high. Again, I loved the prologue, I just can’t see myself paying high prices to get the good ending needed.

I have seen a similar review with the same problem as mine. The game loads with touch effects but doesn’t go farther than that. There was no developer response, so I am hoping this will draw attention to the issue. I am looking forward to the game. In addition, I was on prerelease and usually there are rewards for that, so I was scared to delete and redownload the game. I hope this gets resolved soon. I like this company a lot! Thanks for what I know will be a good game! (And please let me in!)
