update please!
amazing game but needs an update or better stories most of the stories feel repetitive and I’m not even a review person but i’ve been waiting and waiting nothing add someee babiessss
Episode
this is my favorite game to play, but they need to add more stories.
Not Very Interactive, Mainly Dialogue and no Drama, Romance, or Action.
Going into this app, I had previous experience with the original Episode app. I was expecting something similar, however, I’m going to have to stick with the original app after my experience with this app. Unfortunately there’s not a lot of stories to choose from, you don’t really get choices a whole lot throughout stories, and it just dialogue the whole time. This app is more like reading fanfictions than actually getting to be involved in this “game”. There’s not really any good action, drama, or romance throughout the stories, and if you don’t make the “correct choice” with your first ever choice in the story, you get no points throughout the rest of the story and you miss out on the “drama” and “romance” which kills the whole point of the game. Also, the graphics could be worked on because the characters little dialogue bubbles always seem to be placed on the characters faces and you can’t see their actual faces while they’re talking a lot of the times. Overall, the only choices you get in this “game” is choosing outfits for your characters. I want more interactive options. This is supposed to be a game, not reading nothing but boring dialogue fanfictions.
Wish there were more.
The one thing I want is more content. Like, a LOT more.
Very fun needs more
Keep it the same but add more stories please
Waste Of Time - Only Partial Stories
I downloaded this app and played No Time for Love today in full. The story cuts off in with major cliffhanger right before at the climax in the story — the full versions are only available on their PAID app. And nothing in this app gives any indication that they’re only giving you half a story. I was genuinely invested in this story and I never would have wasted my time if I knew I was being set up for disappointment.
Great but a few tweaks
Add more stories do a fantasy with elfs and mermaids fairys would be even better or just more stories Add more stuff like wedding fever also werewolve / vampire or vampire/vampire hunter In wedding fever or any other stories where there are two love interests, I would love the ability to make one girl and one guy for my bisexual characters Plz plz plz add nonbinary to the genders it opens so much more or demi boy / girl or just more genders in general would lead to so much more . More lgbtq content plz Great game I love playing so fun
Great stories lazy company
Where is the update for the amount of different stories episode can pump out and expect people to sling money for they can’t even give us maybe one new story a month I mean come on people will legit write stories for you how can it be this hard and take so much time to just add a new story every now and then even with the episode version on Netflix no new stories its just lazy if you are going to put no effort let other people do your work for you if you have to be that lazy
More updates?
This is an amazing app, but I feel like it’s been abandoned by its developers. Why haven’t there been any new updates? I want to support this version of Episode because it’s so much more accessible and customizable, but I find it difficult when there’s seemingly no developer support for it anymore. It would be nice to at least hear news about whether or not this project has been fully abandoned so that fans know what to expect in the future.
LOVVEE
it is sooo fun to play episode without the stress of having to pay for diamonds omgg !!
empty
i haven't played this in years and there's still nothing new
I love this game, but
Hello everybody, I would really suggest that you buy this game. It’s on Apple Arcade no ads. It’s amazing with different style characters in different love stories ❤️ but the thing is why I read it. Four stars is can we restart the same story that we already did can you add some more stories? If so, please do besides that I really love it.
I loved the game but
I loved the game but ive read all of the stories twice now whens the next update when are we gonna see more! Its been like a year since a new story has been released im close to deleting the game but i really dont want to come out with stories
No enough stories
I love episode xoxo I gave it 4 stars because there’s not a lot of stories and you eventually get tired of reading the same story over and over again
NOW WERE TALKING
This game is amazing!! I get to make my own decisions without coins or anything type of payment!! This game is amazing and truly fun and I definitely recommend this game to everyone looking for a story that you can play!!
I wish it was more
I wanted to love it but stories are bland and simple. Outcomes always the same only positive is no gems/ads but overall no substance or life :(
Fun love stories…but where are the new stories?
No new stories to add? Cmon we in arcade deserve more.
great until u finish all the episodes.
i’m just saying, if people keep rating it 5 stars and THEN begging for more episodes, they won’t add anymore. the only reason i’m giving 2 stars is cause they released the game, were putting out some new ones, the jus STOPPED. it’s not getting any updates and i haven’t heard about any coming soon so…yeah. 2 stars bruh. UPDATE UR DANG GAME PLEASE, GIVE PEOPLE MORE TO DO
MAKE MORE STORIES
it’s a good game and it’s nice not having to be constantly buying gems but there’s not that many stories and they haven’t added anymore or put any effort into this app since release so idk 😭
Episode xoxo review
I like the characters and how you make them but I think I prefer them to not talk as much in the Texts and play like games or something. But overall it’s is great!
Only one gay story
There is only 1 story which allows for same-sex romance. The rest is heterosexual.
Better!
It is much better than the expensive one but I think it unfair you don’t add new and more interesting romance stories in order not to make it worth it since we are using it for free so pls pls just update the game stop scamming us with supposedly bug fixes all we want is simply entertainment
Never updates
This app has had the same stories since they released this app and I only use this because I’m sick of ads and gem choices but there’s nothing to read
Great, but..
The game needs to have more stories that can have gay (bxb) relationships. The selection is currently very limited.
only bareable way to play episode nowadays
this game is AMAZING. none of the choices in the stories cost anything. youre free reign to customize and choose to your liking, i just really really really wish there was more stories. im already almost finished with every story, please add more!! i love that they were written by people of episode and theyre absolutely phenomenal. no time for love has to be my favorite, as a lesbian i love the LGBTQ+ representation in every story. just a phenomenal game that i cannot put down 💕
What about a male character???!???
I love story driven games that are based of a character’s choices but what about the guys. I went through every single story looking fore a single customizable male character and couldn’t find one. I personally don’t like playing as a female character it feels weird
Amazing game! Needs more stories though.
I love how we get to play the game without the frustration of having to make a decision and the only good/reasonable ones costs diamonds you don’t have. In this game, we can just enjoy the storyline, but everything comes with a price i guess. This game only comes with like 18 stories, and I’ve completed all of them, I don’t necessarily wanna have to go back to the original episode because that means having to make horrible decisions because I’m broke & can’t buy diamonds, but at the same time i can’t do anything else in this game. Please add like 18 more stories!!
Cringe stories and not enough male protagonists
Dialogue choices don’t seem to matter and there’s not enough male protagonist, I don’t wanna have to always play as a female. It’s pretty clear that this app is aimed primarily at women
I LOVE the game but it really needs more stories
It gets really boring because there’s never updates NEEDS MORE STORIES its fun at first but once you’ve repeated them so many times its just… meh
Hilarious
I really recommend trying this app out, it has REALLY funny scenes that will genuinely make you chuckle.
Idioma
Deberían poner el juego en más idiomas.
Great but lowkey stingy
I loved episode and what it use to be but now it’s so money focused and I have to spend gems to have fun so I was so happy to get it on arcade but one story is not complete ? And theirs no new stuff after ur done reading the 10 stories they give ….. really good stories though
Need more stories
The game is great and all but overall is lacking stories which doesn’t give the player a reason to come back to the app.
Not enough options and barely any of the stories are finished
This is a fun app to have but there’s barely any story options to choose from! And some other stories, like the Royal Bachelor, aren’t even finished and are left on a cliffhanger! So game devs, do you guys plan on adding more stories to the app or finishing the stories that are already on here? Can’t wait for your reply, I’m dying to know!
Love is in the air!!!!!!!!!🥹🥹🥹🥹
It makes me feel like I’m going to be a storyteller in the future but I’m not sure 🤔 but the future will tell 💎💎💎🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌
This is atrocious
The women are so vapid and materialistic. Typos, the excessive recap before each episode, glitching clothing changes. This is not a game, nor is it entertaining.
Episodes
Wish there was more stories!
Don’t bother just get the original game
While it’s great that there are no gems, tickets or ads, this version of the game only has a few stories (maybe they will add more I’m not sure) and they’re not even that good. I know how the games are made and there are so many mistakes I never even made as beginner coder, and the directing styles are so bad, you have people standing when they should be sitting and stuff like that (all of which can be amended as there are sitting animations Avaliable). There are so many great creators on the original app, can you please higher better ones from the community? It’s like they just picked people at random. Just stick to the original if you’re interested and just deal with the adverts and wait times, at least in that one the stories are good. I understand it’s probably difficult to pay community creators because this is part of Apple Arcade, but there are a few official stories that could easily be converted to be playable without gems, as most of the official stories are very well directed. Not sure why the developers went for the worst creators they could find (with a couple exceptions). Anyway, at least this won’t replace the original!
limited amount of stories
i absolutely love being able to complete these stories without ads and gems. however, there really aren’t a lot of stories. i would’ve loved to see more—especially more diverse stories.
THE BEST!!!!
I need more stories apple please omg they were so good 😭🙏❤️
Needs more stories
I like episode xoxo but it could be more stories Ive been seeing these same stories that I already did for months now. The regular episode has way more options .
Great Game, needs more content
I love this game! It’s nice to play the story without the gems/premium content of the original app. The customization is really nice. But it feels lacking in the amount of stories. Would be nice if more were added or even some of the community stories from the original app added just to give some variety. If it received more content/consistent updates it would be 5 stars!
Dupe
This is supposed to be a copy of the episode game, but it’s so much worse! The stories are so and and so cringe, the graphics are also not great. The only bonus is that you don’t need to buy gems like for the other games, but when the options aren’t great it doesn’t mean much. It also feels much slower and clunky. If you’ve not played episode then you’d probably enjoy it, otherwise you’ll only be disappointed
Slightly disappointed
I was thrilled to discover that Apple Arcade offers its own version of the original game I loved. Episode XOXO has been a delightful experience, especially since I don’t have to worry about gems or tickets. Most of the stories are engaging, though some of the writing and plotlines could use refinement, as a few felt a bit too cliché. Despite this, I would love to see a greater variety of stories added to the game. A broader selection would make the experience even more enjoyable!
AMAZING⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love this game so much and it is so good I really wish there new episodes and you could save your characters if you wanted to play the same story with the same characters again but overall I love this game so much and it’s one of my favorites
Choice
No more story’s have been added
Really good, but needs update with more stories
When this game first came out, I *loved* playing it (in no small part because it supports full customization of your love interests) However, when it first launched, new stories were regularly released. Now it’s been (I think) over a year since the last new story came out. If the content updates came back, this would definitely be a 5-star review. Are there any plans to release new stories on the Apple Arcade version?
Very buggy
Frozen in a selection screen. No option to restart level. Poorly made.
A bit of a let down
Loved the original game but it was becoming to expensive to play. Downloaded this with the hopes that it would be similar to the original. I was hugely disappointed, there aren’t that many stories and I’ve almost finished them. Please can some new stories be added. I expected much better as this is part of Apple Arcade.
