The drop-off
46% start to <1% rarestNo achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements
What players say
Great. Like a Telltale game, but with more impactful decisions. Only difference is that you have to make up the graphics in your head...but I'm fine with that.

This is one of the greatest Choose your Own Adventure stories I've played from Choice of Games. There is almost no way of playing the same game twice if you are not actively thinking about which choice is which for this one. It's fun, and the story and characters are very well thought out. I love reading this one!!
pretty cool, this and the infinity trilogy definitely the best games they've made
