5 star game, 1 star app
Update: I was able to play for a few days after the latest patch, although getting persistent frozen screen during synch about 25% of the time. Suddenly today the app has stopped working entirely (black screen after the Failbetter logo). The app itself deserves 1 star because it simply is not stable and now doesnt even work for me, but the browser game is 5 star and I have faith the devs will eventually fix the app (so I am leaving this review as 5 star for now).
Review:
The game is great if you set your expectations to play for perhaps 10 minutes every couple of hours (there is a timer that limits how many actions you can take at once). Months of content can be enjoyed free of charge. VERY clever and interesting writing, its got a great Victorian steampunk/Lovecraftian vibe. The only downside is I want to spend more time in this world, but run up against the timer so quickly and have to put the game down for a few hours.
