How does the app work?
Simply install it. For the moment you do not have to register. You can immediately play our interactive fiction stories, either by reading or by listening to them.

How do the interactive stories work?
In interactive fiction you become the hero of the stories. The story will only move forward in response to your choices, and those choices change the experience of the story.

No game is loaded or played
Please check if your device has a stable connection to the internet. The games only work online. Also make sure that there is enough memory left on your device.

Why can’t I hear audio while playing?

• Check the volume settings on your device. The app itself does not control the volume or mute it.
• Check that you have the slider from “Text” to “Audio” in the top right corner of the story player.
• If the audio track has already ended or paused without you noticing, press the play button in the story player again.

Other problems or errors
Often, just rebooting your device will help if the app stops behaving properly. You can also try clearing the cache – a data buffer. You can find this function in the operating system in the app settings. If the hints on this page don’t help you, feel free to send us an email with the problems to: feedback@ear-reality.de

Can I pause a game and resume it later?
Yes. If you pause a game before it ends or exit the app, your current score will be saved. Your score will be kept for 10 days or until you start a new game.

Will my score be lost if I reinstall or update the app?
You are using the app as an anonymous guest. If you reinstall or update, a new guest account will be created and your game score will be reset.

Why are some episodes locked? What do I have to do to unlock them?
There are stories where the episodes can only be played in order. Therefore, the next episode is always unlocked after you have played through the previous one. There are also episodes where you have to reach a positive ending before you can play the next episode. So don’t give up 🙂

Can I quickly play through the beginning of a story again to make different decisions later?

• You can always press the decision buttons immediately, without having to wait for the audio to finish playing.
• You can also increase the playback speed in audio mode. To do this, press the “1x” button several times.
• There are also stories with “Save Points” that let you return directly to a certain previous place if you fail.

I can’t get any further in a story/episode. Can you give me some tips?
We could, but we don’t. We have full confidence in your abilities 🙂 Or try to network and exchange ideas with other players.
