With their multiple stories and chapters, you and your friends can play together. [h1]The Game of The Play[/h1] Tales Up is a game launcher kind of game, kind of like Roblox. Most stories require a certain amount of people to play it, but you can add “Companions” which will fill out the rest of the party. The game is free, so it's no shock that only one chapter of each available story is unlocked. The rest of the chapters the player would need to purchase with in-game currency. And some stories need to be purchased to unlock to be able to play. [b][u]The tabs that are displayed on the side of the screen are:[/u][/b] [list][*] Adventures: The stories you can play.

You start the game by choosing an adventure and playing it. It's quite limited to a few adventures, but they are quite interesting. You choose characters to play with you. Some maps have play limits, so make sure you have enough players. From the game I played, the beginning was quite interesting and had pictures for a lot of items. The game wasn't that immersive until I finished 1 chapter. A chapter is a section of a story that make up the whole game, just like a book. After I beat the first chapter, I wanted to try the second chapter. But costed "Tickets", which I am quite sure cost money. The game prompted me to make an account after I tried to play the second chapter. I didn't want to enter my email for the game because 1) It was not very immersive and 2) I didn't want to pay and 3) I don't like to place my email randomly. I would rate this game a 6.5/10. I would change my review to a recommended if: 1. I didn't need to enter my email or create an account 2. There are more stories

I could recommend it, not bad as a free demo. You can look at the first chapter/15 minutes of 8 different stories out of the 20 they have in the game. I like the idea of the DnD style party and having options for solo and multiplayer groups as well as local and online options. The stories themselves are fairly straightforward and it gives you an idea of what is available. +Art style +Music +Choose your adventure +Variety of stories, choices +DnD-lite style party for solo or group +Local and online play +Free demo (1st chapter of 8/20 stories) -3rd party account and payment needed to unlock fully -No custom companions/avatars, few choices -Slow loading issues -No voice -Lacking animations -No custom campaigns/stories -Short, ~1hr per full story (~15min in demo)

Don't play this game. The concept was so cool and it says it's free but it's really not. You play one chapter and it instantly cost to play another. My friends and I actually got immersed then were told we had to pay to continue.

You can play the first level of the story for free but then you have to pay. :(
