My review to Falling Bad
Holly Moly, that ending got me shook. I don’t know if I can really tell anything that could be improved other than some script mistakes like people appearing after 5 seconda first or walking too fast, but damn I really need to say that with only one episode you definetly have me hooked for it. Even though I’m more the fantasy reader, I loved how you gave each character some personality that makes them unique. The plot twist with Juliet made me mad but also keen on what happens in the next episode. The Mc is not like „bump in love” which I like, because nothing feels to rushed. If you consider to add meaningful choices (as I said before, not choices that alter in 3 script lines) which have an impact on the outcome of the story and keep up the great work, I am going to consider to put your story into my favourites.
My story:i-Robin Author: DanDuck Genre: Adventure Description: An ordinary female humanoid, who wish to be a better self by marching into LaMar Academy. All the dramas happen on- and off-campus with her rival, friends, as well as her idol, Allicah. Some tragic events happen to Robin, and thus, she tries to unfold the mystery behind the case and come to a final face-off.

So what I really liked about your story is not only the CC, but that you already linked the characters to each other by switching to the past and explaining what the MC’s destiny is/was. I don’t think that I can say anything against the plot since it is indiviual for you to choose. Grammar and Dialogues are also good, I liked that you gave the opportunity to choose the last names and already used them in the first episode. The sequences with the interrogation were amazing, I was like wait what, there are mirrors in episode? And then I understood that you made an overlay and placed them Very great detail there.

I don’t know if it was meant to, but I found it a little bit annoying to choose the skin color again. I think it would be cool if we haven’t seen the face of the target (I forgot his name, the guy who killed MC’s family and her little sister), it would build up more tension. A cliffhanger in addition could be nice, because I think that most people are going to be bored because they don’t get enough suspense for the next episode and to be unpatient to wait for new chapters to be released.
Overall, I think that your story has nice little details and the plot is logical. I would just make the first episode more stand out in terms of suspense and I hope that the romance between the MC and her love interest is not going to be a love on first sight, since she is obviously a criminal and that there is more space for character development.
+ What I really loved were the many choices I could already take in the beginning. I don’t know how big their impact is on the story, but your descriptions says that choices matter. I like the CC option, I don’t know anything yet about the LBGT option but I guess I can still see it as positive for the future. Furthermore I think it is nice that you go more into the futuristic story plot (I’m a huge fan of DBH btw). The skill system ( I have chosen strength ) really fits the humanoid MC. My favourite thing was the omniscient narrator view you have chosen to write your story, it makes your story unique in this point.

IMO the episode was a little bit short. The cliffhanger could be a little bit more dramatic, but thats personal preference I guess. I don’t know if I can really name this as a negative point, but this is subejctive: I’m not really a fan of spotlight and I think that a mixture of both would be better because spotlight leave out so many possibilities in scripting. But thats your choice, as I said that is totally personal preference.
Overall, I think that your story features something new into going in the futuristic shelf and the omniscient narrator perspective. I noticed how much effort you gave into describing the situation. I wish the episode was a little bit longer and about the spotlight feature I can just say that everyone sees it in a different way
+ The deaf and reread/new option in the beginning is a nice touch. I loved the intro. The beginning sequene was nice I could tell that you did your best to make episode spooky. I never read a real horror story before but I like that you just called it IT (not speaking about the movie It tho that’s another story ) I liked the timed choice at the end and in general the atmosphere of the whole episode. There are many open questions and I think you established a good ending which makes the reader ask himself where she went.

I think the second scene (her talking to her bf and the other guy) was a little bit too long. That’s why the overall episode felt too long. If you shorten it , the episode is going to have an ideal lenght as the first one. I don’t know if it is a script mistake but when both of her friends were taken away by the whatever this thing is, they didn’t talked when they said something and somehow didn’t perform any animations at all.
Overall I think that your story is a hidden gem in the horror shelf. I am going to continue reading it and if you keep your great work at this level I might consider to put it into my favourites (even when I’m not a huge fan of horror stories on episode because guidelines.)
OMG thanks for the detailed review, Kathleen! I never thought it’d be that fast ha ha.
Planning to take that off lol. I had it in the description because there were two potential love interests, but I’m considering to take away the romance aspect of the story.
The thing is, I didn’t even know what DBH was until I made the story and my friends asked me if it was a DBH reference lmao. But I heard it’s a pretty great game.
Wuuuuuuuh, I’ve tried to make it over 10 minutes hurhur. I thought the chapters could be pretty long if readers tap fairly slow, but well, I’ll maybe drag the length to 15 minutes in the future.
I get what you mean. I’ve established a cliffhanger for the ending of each chapter to create suspense. It’s not easy to make a really good cliffhanger though.
Yeah, saw that coming even before I started my story. I knew myself too well that if I were to make more cinematics, it would’ve killed my progress. Ha I just can’t wait to bring my ideas out there.

What definetly caught my eye were the many overlays you used. They were very creative and used correctly, but overlays themselves don’t make a story great, the plot is also important as all the other criteria . I personally found the ending scene a little bit confusing because I don’t really understand what happened now + the zoom was a little bit too close. The grammar and dialogue was good, you already assigned multiple character traits to the persons. I wish there was a little bit more involving of Jackson whom you have mentioned in your story description, it doesn’t mean that the MC and he needs to directly fall in love or become enemies. Your story idea might be based on realism and might get into categories of other stories, but I like your directing and how much you have managed in just one episode. That’s all. You did a great job
