Nov. 2024

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.

April 2024

I am free to create my own character and make choices. I have never been so happy to play / read a game like this. I have been playing it since 2021.

Feb. 2024

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.
