Showdown at Willow Creek

It's a really well written game

Really felt the need to give this story a review. I’ve read handful of these interactive stories over the course of the last few years, even going back to reread old stories. Just downloaded this story for the first time tonight and genuinely am so impressed with it. The writing is very clean and the interaction is perfect. A lot of the time a lot of authors really get carried away with needing to describe heavy lore/details in these inter-actives and it totally looses its appeal, this story keeps you perfectly engaged with the right amount of story to decision making that you actually feel as though you are a part of its story, not just along for the ride. The author doesn’t force a predetermined character on you and gives you a good amount of options to decide who you want to be and what you stand for. I absolutely encourage it’s creators to continue making interactives/writing, really a fantastic job. Besides that, truly a perfect little western adventure, very fun lighthearted storyline, with interesting characters. Thanks for the read!

The game starts out with you creating the world of your character and you get a choice of a romantic interest. Except the game doesn’t tell you much about them besides their profession and gender despite the great emphasis the rest of the game puts on race. Your partners are not built for you to learn about in any way only to be fluff text if you do desire there is no depth to them you’re better off with just your horse and gun. The plan for the dam sounded so unrealistic that I had hoped it was true and the main plot of the story wasn’t oh hey I don’t understand science this looks evil. The ending only tells the reader that things will go back to the way they were before, how boring I wanted my actions to change something besides mason being in a court case. Honestly I’m a bit salty the game didn’t tell me what happened to Aaron, did the doctor on the train even save him? Also money doesn’t matter at all spend all you want you have no end to your coffers. This was not worth the price.

The story kept me on the edge of my seat at all times. The characters are what really make the mystery work. They're written in a way that makes them come alive. The choices you make actually matter in solving the mystery; your approach can either help you in the investigation or lose valuable information. The only problem I have with it is that there's no sequel.

But not quite enough so to open the pursestrings. Promising, though.

I was very happy with the writing and narrative of this game. I thought the story was interesting and the choices were meaningful. Standard Wild West set pieces were present and enjoyable with their own twists and surprises. I didn't experience any choice loops or weird, unexpected responses to the choices I made. Overall, a very enjoyable game.

I honestly think it was really short, but exciting and good! I love the game and it really deserves at least four maybe five stars. I just thought it was a little shorter than most of them. But any of you reading this should still get this app! It's really good. Maybe just play it a couple times to get different endings.

Not a bad little story. I'm not much for westerns but I enjoyed this story. It's a shame it has so far received poor reviews that don't seem very informative or fair. Over all this game is 3 stars but if your new to choice games and not too familiar with westerns or are into them, you will like this read more so, I rated it 4 stars. Plus 4 stars seems more fair for the quality. I'm not into westerns and I thought the story was too short and very predictable/typical for its genre.

It was over within an hour. You had no real choices. And the overlying plot was meager at best.

I loved it!! It was really fun to play!! Sadly, I felt like it was too short!!!
