A choose your own adventure for adults on kindle, where you can click links for your choices instead of flipping around page numbers? GENIUS!
The story itself…mediocre.
You receive an invitation to stay locked in a haunted house for three nights for a reality show, and if you make it, you win millions of dollars! But is it really a reality show?
Spoiler: no.
The beginning is fun when you arrive and get the flavor of the house. But on the second day, you get an assignment to do a scavenger hunt to look for a notecard with a keyword that you’re supposed to enter into the computer in the office. The idea is clear - it makes you experience all the different rooms in the house and uncover a bunch of mysteries and whatever, and then the word you find leads to different endings. (Yes, there apparently are multiple notecards you can find.)
I’ll be honest, I got real bored looking through the house. I definitely somehow took some shortcuts, because at my end, a lot of information was mentioned as if I was supposed to know it (and I definitely had not taken the effort to learn it).
After going through it a couple times, I eventually looked at “THE END” where all the chapter titles are listed to find the different keywords you can type in to see what the different endings are, and I’m glad I did. The ending I did was definitely the lamest, so it was nice to see the others without having to do the whole stupid search through the house again. (I’m sure there’s some cool stuff I missed in the house search; I just do not have the patience. This is also how I play video games: just do what I have to do to see how it ends. Results vary. Lol)
