Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Simple and repetitive, once I found myself making enough money to be financially stable I found myself getting bored of the gameplay loop and couldn't find a reason to keep playing. Ultimately not for me.7 found this helpful
Honestly amazing game for an aspiring author. Though it's mostly mini-games, I feel this game can help improve reading and typing speeds! The music is very nice and I find it very relaxing (in Standard mode at least LOL). I do wish the life was longer in a way? The gameplay loop is pretty addictive and I've seen words I don't really know! It also is lowkey inspiring for genres to write in! :D The newest update to make sure we're actually ready to do mini-games really upped the QoL. I do wish the game played music when not looking at it. Realistic mode is insanely hard, though, everything is quite expensive and time passes quickly - a bit too quickly. It makes "losing" and getting the skill tree faster, but leads to little accomplishment / fun. I'm really happy to see this game getting attention and hope it keeps up!5 found this helpful
Super cute and fun game, I love all the mini games, it really feels like an old school typing learning game which is really fun. Couple things though -Would love to see a streamer friendly music option. My YouTube video on the game got like 8 different music claims :/ -Would love to have longer gameplay loops, they seem to be over very quickly and don't give you enough chance to really build up a career -Would be cool if there were odd jobs you could do to make some more money. I think I just suck at the game, but I kept going bankrupt before I could get a good book out so it would be cool if you could do side jobs that maybe slowed down your writing but stopped you from ending the game with no money. It felt like there was no incentive to write Fanfic because it doesn't make money and there wasn't enough time in a life to prioritise things that didn't have an income (capitalism am i right? lol) Anyway i think this is a really sweet game with a really interesting concept!4 found this helpful
This gameeeeee oh my gosh! So unique, so fun, so addicting. I genuinely loved it, You get so pulled in to the flow. I genuinely think a lot of love and passion went into this game and as someone who loves to read and write, it just feels so genuine. It's worth it if you're interested. The mini-games keep it so interesting!4 found this helpful
A very unique concept. This game is surprisingly intricate disguised in a extremely cute game. There is quite a learning curve at first but once you understand how the game works, it becomes addictive. I really like how time and money actually matter. The more time you waste the more money you will burn through so you really have to get moving and pursue your author dreams before you become broke. Watch out for the CRA the will come for their share of you income too :) There is a lot more depth here than I expected when I first started playing. Its cute, intricate, compelling and makes you constantly think about what you should do next! Highly recommend especially if you are looking for a new concept! I have only played a couple of hours so far but I can already tell I'll be spending a lot more time on this game!3 found this helpful
I feel like this would fix the literacy crisis in America
