Way Walkers: University

I keep updated and it looks like she's not going to finish this series any time soon. Purchase at the risk knowing the story may never be complete. Anyway, cool world and characters. The writing is a bit too flowery, and the story throws in-world terms in your face, making it difficult to follow.

I can’t wait for the author to finish this trilogy! The first of many interactive fiction games I’ve played through the App Store—and still the best. The only time I’ve actually felt an actual, non-manipulative attachment to characters. (As in not messing around with choices for the sake of them liking the MC or getting an achievement). Lots of characterization choice-and-consequence, if that’s your thing. Only troubling thing is this monstrous hiatus.

In a recent update the author said they had written 50k words in the third book. That’s (if i’m counting correctly) over 3 years after the second book came out. Author keeps ‘taking breaks’ and making excuses. Don’t buy this unless your willing to never play the full story, or at the least wait a very long time for a conclusion. If you want to play this series wait for all the books to come out. Its a good story and has excellent writing, but i’m starting to doubt if it will ever be complete.

First, I’d just like to say that most of this review is copy/pasted from my Way Walkers 2 review with some minor changes, so App Store or whoever reviews these, I swear I’m not a bot, don’t delete this please. So here we go. I’ve played a lot of these interactive text-based games and this is easily one of the best. From the story to the writing to the characters to the sheer amount of choices! This game, in my opinion, is masterfully written and a must-play for anyone a fan of fantasy and text-based RPGs. The one gripe I have with it is that I wish there was an option to choose your own race instead of the game automatically assigning you Human.

Even though I literally bought this just an hour ago, I'm already in love. Out of all the COG and HG, I think Way Walkers is my favorite, and I'm not even halfway through. The characters - THE CHARACTERS Literally of all the interactive novels I've bought, and I've bought too many, I think Way Walkers has the best fleshed out characters of them all. As a visual girl and reader, I can actually get a great read on these characters; see their faces and hear their voices as I read. If you're a fan of Harry Potter, I think you'll love this book! After a few minutes of reading, I just got this Harry Potter vibe and it reminded me of the first book series I had ever been connected to. So, personally, I think you'll love this story. :)

While I was worried that this would be some unoriginal and only slightly interesting ripoff of Harry Potter, it was much more than that. Whatever you choose actually feels impactful, and I finally feel like I'm actually 'living out' a story. Sequel gets the same, can't wait for the third part.

A very good game! The characters make you care about the story, and the diverse, interesting world keeps you interested. High replay value and diverse choices. Well worth the money.

the story is amazing and its so attaching i read for hours, enjoyed it so much i had to buy the second one.

I was a bit hesitant at first to get this game, but I'm glad I did. Admittedly, the beginning is a little slow, but once you get past that part the game is incredibly fun. I've played a VERY large amount of interactive story games like this before, and this is definitely one of my favorites.

I can't say enough praise for this interactive novel! The world feels wholly realized (pun intended) and the characters are interesting and have in-depth personalities. I was left caring about each one of them and truly wanting to find out more about the extensive fantasy/supernatural world the story takes place in. The way the story deals with concepts like angels/demons, the afterlife, reincarnation and psychic abilities was pure joy. The writing and story was so well done that I felt like I was actually there sharing in the triumphs and tragedies that took place. The choices were extremely well-thought out, so well in fact that I wanted my first play-thru to feel as perfect to my liking as possible so I restarted the game 7 times to fix what I felt was an "incorrect" choice for my character. There are no good or bad choices, of course, and I love that this game uses that in it's narrative. This story has risen to my #1 favorite game from CoG & HG. It's definitely worth the purchase and the wait until the 3rd one comes out. In the meantime, I'm buying the book!
