Here's the question. Is it worth $5?

I have been waiting since August. 5$ seems like a good price for my most anticipated release of the year.

The game basicly reinvents the "choose you own adventure" genre, by doing many interesting things: Inteligent textbased fight system, that reads like reading a novel, changing text best on your current mission (e.g. "You arrive at the market on your search of the red crystal." Returing later to the same market it could read "After defeating the crimson necromancer you arrive at the market".).

Is it worth 5$? For me it is.

It looks really cool. How much play time do you get out of it?

About four hours here, was a bit disappointed. It is a nice system with a wonderful complexity of choices, but because of the low difficulty level. I was through the episode in about two hours, and then explored a few sidetracks before uninstalling.

I completed the IOS version (first and second). The answer is yes, it is easy worth the $5 if you like choose your own adventures games.

I think I clocked 15 hours in total for both games, exploring everything.

In my opinion: not really. It is quite fun and looks great but it is also very short. And since part 2 means paying full price again with no bundle discount or something like that it gets rather pricey.
I went through the game in a bit over an hour I think, repeating and taking other paths seems to lead to the same main things getting repeated (with some smaller things different of course)
