Make no mistake, romance is the focus of this detective supernatural mystery. The overall plot feels like something you'd see on a CW show. But the characters are charming, the world is interesting enough and there's plenty to choose in this CYOA story.

I liked the game and story but the 440k words is very misleading. I'm guessing it's a combined count for all routes and choices, but it only took me about 4 hours to complete which I'm guessing means I read about 30k words? I was expecting to be able to take more time reading the story. I'd be interested in looking into other routes but I wished this was longer!

I enjoyed the game and am already on book three! This is concerning given that I started playing only four days ago. I am already thinking about what to do in another playthrough, and ahhhh yes, a big can of brainworms has been opened with this one. Anyways, I warmly recommend this game.

At the point of writing this I have personally explored all 4 Romance Options from this first Book to the third. The First Book alone is barely even 8 Euro so considering i have already over 23h spent reading the first book alone and plan to read through it a few more times at least seeing how this has become one of my favorite story's in a long time I think I got my moneys worth. This Book is mostly a set up to slowly introduce you to the World/City this is playing in and to the most of the Main Characters and the four Main Love Interests. But The Wayhaven Chronicles are very much centered around the personal connection you make and how you act. Personally I have enjoyed the Characters and the World building very much and would honestly recommend the whole Book series to anyone that enjoys the supernatural and romance. Plus if you don't think there is enough to keep you entertained with the already three Books out the Author has confirmed on their Tumbler Blog that there will be a total of 7. Well and to add a little Personal note at the end I just want to get out how much I truly love this Book series and am looking forwards to enjoy more of the Story from Mishka Jenkins.

Jan. 2024

After playing 3 books with 4 romance route I can say thats this is definitly interesting and good game. (I am gonna skip one with 2 ro at the same time as I am not fan of that kind development). So if someone would enjoy first book he should definitely purchase other as well. There is one route i would hope to end in a bit more specific relationship but outside of that every other route seem to have it defined (after 3 books I was thinking we would get there but maybe 4th will be the charm). Overall I would say N>A>M>F where I still think that F route was pretty good.
