DESCRIPTION

We love all feedback regarding the game. Reach out to us at [email protected] or at our Twitter @storyscribegame.
Story Scribe combines draw & guess game mechanics with a rule set familiar from the telephone game (aka. Chinese Whispers) but with the goal of writing a forward progressing story using a combination of drawings and written descriptions from different players. Each player can only see the work of the previous player and it is sometimes challenging to pick up from where your friends left off without seeing what happened before, but that is exactly what makes it so fun, when the story takes a completely different direction or equally amazing when it stays unbelievably consistent.

Comments:
I enjoy this game. You either draw or tell part of the story and at the end it's nice to see what everyone came up with. Though when I do go to see the story it starts off blank but I have to press the zoom in on the top left to read it. Also it seems like there's a timer when either drawing or writing but it doesn't seem to work, it just stays at 50 or -50, but tbh I think it's best without the time although you have to wait a day for the story to be done.
I really like the concept but it has some issues. My timer was bugged so I had all the time in the world to work on my drawings, which isn't the worst thing. I've also been waiting almost a week for any of the stories I contributed on to finish and be viewable from start to finish but none of them have showed up yet. Also bugged and let me rewrite a story part after submitting it when I was trying to start another story.
This game is a huge bummer, there is a no zoom in which makes it difficult to draw if you want to do detail and not just scribble like a toddler and it's really difficult to scroll to see everything in the story when it's done. I was confused that the story was done because it said the story was done but all I saw was a blank background and had to figure it out on my own. Also the timer is so confusing because I didn't know I was being timed and the timer was not a clear indication of time.
So it's kinda hard to understand at first but it's pretty fun when you understand
Cool concept, but not polished enough. Should have finished the app, added more colors, prompts and online mode before releasing.'
