Fictif: Interactive Romance

the app still works of course, and there are some finished stories on here that are worth reading, but anything that hasn’t been finished isn’t going to be finished, which is sad. i have no idea why they bother to update the app for compatibility instead of just migrating all the finished stories over to the dorian app, which is the company that now owns fictif. sure, i prefer the formatting of this app to dorian, but what’s the point when it’s totally stagnant?

Please do new updates and new stories

IM BEGGING YOU STOPPP MAKING NEW BOOKS AND JUST FINISH THE OLD ONES. IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SAGE CHAPTER 15 FOR LIKE OVER A YEAR. i understand all stories take time and won’t happen instantly but for the love of GOD finish what you start before making 20 more 😭😭😭

I used to love Fictif. Unfortunately, I got into it too late. It’s been a little under a year since Dorian has decided not to update The Arcana OR Fictif with any new content, and it shows just how little they care about either. With the Arcana it’s not as big of a deal since the main stories are over— but Dorian only cares about the Arcana in order to promote their own app. Fictif doesn’t get those annoying pop ups that the Arcana app does alerting to every new fanfiction written on the dorian app, nor does it have the community tab, but that’s both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, it means Fictif has remained completely untouched from the days it was still owned by Nix Hydra, where we were actually getting content and these stories were actually owned and written by people who CARE about them, instead of just trying to profit off of fans while putting in little to no work to actually provide fans with any content. However, Fictif being untouched also shows just how little Dorian cares about these stories. The Arcana, at least, is profitable to them. It’s less risk due to being an entirely finished story, and has a bigger fanbase to appeal to. Out of the three Dorian properties on the App Store, (the arcana, Fictif, and the dorian app itself) the Arcana has the highest rating— and it’s well deserved, I think, as both a fan of The Arcana and Fictif. However a lot of the recent reviews are praising DORIAN for The Arcana, when they didn’t actually put any of the work in to make it the COMPLETE story we know and love. Then, notice the majority of the recent reviews and complaints for Fictif— that there are no updates. And then look at every single response! It’s all Dorian urging people to move to the Dorian app if they want more content. Even in the update logs, it’s been eight months since Dorian has last updated Fictif. Heck, even look at social media. The Arcana’s socials are being used almost exclusively either as promotion for things happening on Dorian or sales (whether they be merchandise or on the app) whereas Fictif’s socials have remained untouched for months. They’ve even removed the Fictif tags from the Arcana socials’ bios, which seems SO MINISCULE— but it shows that they don’t care about whether or not attention goes to Fictif, otherwise they’d put those tags back in to draw attention to them from their bigger, related fanbase, The Arcana. Dorian DOES NOT CARE about Fictif. Whatever automated response they’re going to give doesn’t make that

I’ve had this app pretty much my entire phone life. And the waits weren’t much of a problem till now. Either finish making the stories or don’t make new apps or stories until you do. You’ll lose most of your original audience.

I downloaded the game when it was first starting and all the stories were incomplete. I quickly fell in love with it and would get excited whenever I saw a story was updated. But it upsets me that now Fictif has just seemed to be abandoned due to it not updating in months. I’ve tried Dorian and it really isn’t great and I had issues with it. I joined the discord and saw people talking about Fictif maybe getting updated just for it to never happen. I find it upsetting Fictif was dropped for Dorian

keeps telling me my internets not connected and is taking forever to load but my internet is perfectly fine honey it’s just this app having this problem. i played this app before a year ago it didn’t have this problem… i just re downloaded it and it keeps saying no internet connection but why should we even need connection to play this anyway girl we shouldn’t even need wifi ..

My top favorite books on here were Roadkill and Ghosted. Not saying I didn't enjoy all their other books. I just really enjoyed how compelling and supernatural/paranormal they were. I hope the devs will continue to make more stories like Roadkill and Ghosted, as well as, create stories where the MC's a supernatural being (i.e. Superhero, anti-hero, Alien, witch, vampire/werewolf, Angel/demon, etc). I'd also like to see more genres and tropes like "enemies-to-lovers", "fake relationships", "second chance romances", "love triangles", etc. Moreover, it'd be nice if we could customize MC. Nothing wrong with how it is now, but it's just fun to customize the MC's hair, clothes and physical attributes in our story. It'd also be nice if our choices were more impactful similar to what Romance Club does with their stories. Again - not saying that y'all don't do any of that because y'all do. I just wish to see more of it. I hope you'll continue to make more stories.

I’ve been here since it launched and went through its change’s and I miss the old Fictif in the sense of when it actually updated all the focus went to Dorian once it changed same the arcana and I’m glad it’s getting focus again but I’m sad because I prefer Fictif but the main problem here is that stories are still uncompleted! And on the main page it still says some stories just updated!, but they have not just updated they updated months ago, and I still would love to see more stories and artsyles on here but all that focus has been moved onto Dorian which I am very sad about. I just wish stories were actually completed and more things could be added and more side stories and the arcana and Fictif crossover I wish that could still be completed seems like it was forgotten about which is sad but it seems like this whole app has been forgotten about from both the og creators/owners and the new creators/owners. Just wish it would get better but it hasn’t.

This thing hasn’t updated its stories in forever. The story’s that are here are great but if you just want female routes just know you have slim pickings. But Dorian killed this app tho they leave this to die then tell you to get their other game Dorian (which isn’t that great not even good in my opinion) wish it was just nixhydra again.
