PRY App Reviews

The concept of this app is interesting, and I think this type of media has potential, but it was confusing and was at the same time very finite and seemingly endless. Id like to see something more coherent and cohesive done in a similar manner.

One of the neatest apps Ive ever had the pleasure of interacting with, its smart, really well done, it is art and story and thought provoking, wild, bravo! More please!

I think this is awesome! Totally fun and addicting.

Chapters seemed disjointed. I loved the idea and the layout involving the media is cool. Loved the part with Braille. Just couldnt follow the story.

I like the idea, and the mechanics of this "book". But like others I just got bored by the random unlinked thoughts that went nowhere. I do like to think a bit, and tried to nut out the story, but the writers are trying too hard to be flashy at expense of what looks to be a solid story. This kind of format would really suit a book of poems, or short stories. As a novel its just a fukd mess of ideas and strobe lights.

PRY is truly a game-changer. I’m blown away by the beautiful use of moving images, text, and really innovative interactivity. At first I was worried that the “interactive story” thing would feel gimmicky. It isn’t! Over and over again I find the pinching-and-pulling elements to be really natural and well-integrated into the story about memory, PTSD, dreaming, etc. The story itself is interesting and the fact that I use the interactive gestures to reveal the story feels incredibly fresh and really seems like a paradigm shift for this kind of e-literature.

Very powerful, stunning story. Absolutely riveting and a totally new experience with interactive "characters". I was totally immersed and deeply touched by the story. Very powerful...thought provoking, emotional, scary, thrilling, heart breaking storyline. It was achingly real and forced you to acknowledge your own life and priorities. Impressive

PRY is pushing interactive storytelling forward leaps and bounds with this app. Its evocative in both form and content. Its worth exploring how the different modes of presentation change the experience of the narrative. Even if it doesnt always make obvious sense, thats more akin to how life is or someone elses mind might be.

A mixture of text, film, and game, PRY is an incredible experience. Engaging with this story and these characters is like exploring the depths of your own subconscious. The creators have done an incredible job to encourage and reward such exploration, making each chapter unique in style while keeping the overall vision consistent. Im eager for more chapters to be released! In my opinion, trans-media work like this is the future of storytelling.

I really like the concept. And thanks for your game support I give you 10+****** and love the Braille

Definite possibilities. Too much info and not enough storyline. Didnt hold my attention. Like being shown pictures of Yoda and Obi-Wan, then being told that someday well make a movie with these characters in it. Call me when you make the movie.

This is a great experience, but it is incomplete. Chapters 1, 2, & 6 are the only ones available. If it was actually complete I would probably give it 5 stars but if youre expecting a full experience, wait until all chapters have been released.

The amount of effort and work that went into this app is impressive. Unfortunately it falls short. The story is incomplete, chapters 1,2 & 6? What happened to 3-5? The story is extremely confusing to follow. The "interactiveness" of chapter 6 convoluted the story so much I just gave up on PRY altogether.

Pry is neither an ebook nor a game, though it shares features with both. It is an entirely new genre that takes full advantage of the possibilities of the touchscreen interface to tell a story. Melding beautiful visuals with an intriguing mystery, it draws the reader into its narrative through a series of interactive scenes that use the readers eager fingers to pry out the story and its subtext. Its immersive, thought-provoking, visually and sonically rich, and produced completely independently. This feels like the future of storytelling -- a must-read for anyone interested in the changing nature of the book.

I just started last night but I am already hooked! I want more!

The best artistic/interactive experience Ive had on iPad over 5 years. Makes great use of writing, visuals, and the phone/tablet interface to tell a story brilliantly. The story gets bigger and smaller like an accordion when you pinch or expand, all the while remaining evocative and coherent. Thus you end up reading different versions of a story (the themes and mystery is common to all ), and see accompanying, associative visuals (reminiscent of Brakhage movies). The story is of military trauma, unrequited love, and unexpected violence, and feels utterly authentic and relatable. Kudos devs, you took interactive, storytelling to new, unprecedented heights.

This artistic piece will be the catalyst for great things from other creative minds.

Absolutely "FANTABULOUS" I loved every moment spent on this app. I hope there are more.

This is the future of e-books and interactive media. The video clips are beautifully done, the story is moving and well written, and the interactive controls are smooth and intuitive. You will get as much from this story as you are willing to give to it, which is likely the reason behind some of the low reviews. If you are looking for a quick read with everything spelled out for you, this is not for you. It makes you think, work together pieces of the story for yourself, and is often cryptic and disjointed. You really feel as if you are looking inside someone elses mind as it is unraveling. Bravo. I cant wait for the next chapters to come out!
