Showdown at Willow Creek

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.

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.

I bought this app a while Ago and I finished the story but i never replayed it, till one day I felt like playing it again and it said to pay $1.99 to get chapters 4-8, so I thought maybe the part I finished was just chapter 3. I was wrong I played it over and it stopped at the part where your about to visit Mason, at this point I was really upset because I wasn't going to spend another $1.99 on a story that I had already finished. You guys should unlock the remaining chapters for everyone who had previously purchased this app before the update. Anyway my review on this is that it isn't the best of the interactive stories that CoG LLC offers the story is too short and is boring and the stats don't matter cause your hardly use your skills also the choices you make really have no control of the story, IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A REALLY GOOD WILD WEST INTERACTIVE STORY GET "TIN STAR".

While I've never disliked a CoG story, this one seemed rushed, both to publish and to play. You can choose your race and job, but they make no difference since the story demands your character be a private eye. Similarly, I can't find a way to die or fail to solve the mystery, and the lack of risk is boring. This game seems like a "quick, write a western, but make it politically correct" type of effort, and it shows. At one point you play cards, have a saloon fight, break up a riot, and sleep with your sweetheart in about five pages of text. I'd wait on this one until it's cleaned up and expanded. If you love Westerns, wait for a new game.
