"Entertaining story and have played through it a few times. Only issue of
not giving it 5 stars is that the ending seemed rushed, it felt sudden I
didn`t notice until the next chapter said ``epilogue``."

"The story was engaging and well written, the author obviously has a great deal of talent. However the supporting charecters lacked depth, I think if the story was longer these characters could have been fully fleshed out. Conclusion is that it just lacked the length in which to fully explore such an epic premise. Worth the read though."

"This is a well written game. But I found the story to be quite bare bones.
Don`t get it twisted, there is a story; but it felt like I had read an
outline of a story. The skeleton of a story is there but the meat of it is
not."

"Setting up a lot of things in the demo that will never be resolved in the paid part is, frankly, disgusting. The game ends up feeling like a rip-off, even when it does have interesting ideas."

"Can`t seem to decide wheter the world is dystopian or utopian. The worldbuilding is simply... off. Most of the political messages feel forced in."

"Pathetic. The story railroads the player into an edgy character made of bad
writing and too many drinks. You`re forced to have an ex spouse and child
right at the beginning. I didn`t even make it through the first chapter
after seeing that you`re practically forced to have attempted suicide."

"Great premise but felt far too rushed. It was hard to get invested in the story when it felt like I was skipping every other chapter. The pacing was completely off and the epilogue felt like the game had only just started, with a lot of loose ends never addressed. The characters seemed like they could`ve been interesting but the game is too short to actually flesh them out properly. Rent-a-Vice has a lot of potential but is completely hampered by how short it is."

"A lot of Choice of Games focus more on the role-playing aspect of the game, too often in the detriment of good writing (your character being literally unable to tell the truth because of lying too much, for example). They fail to capture the grey area of someone`s personality, you can only be either really good or really bad. This game suffers from none of that, and albeit a bit short, feels much more like a relatable story because of the ammount of nuance given to the choices.Highly recommended"

"Beautiful. The plot, characters, theme, all of it was amazing. I truly felt like I was the mc, and it was so incredibly intense that I found myself crying a few times. But, of course there could always be improvement. There were a few grammar errors and such. But overall, it was a gorgeous read."

"This story moved me to literal tears. A lot of the stuff in this I felt I could relate to, and some I really could (self harm, depression, hopelessness), and it just moved me so bad. I genuinely loved the story and wish there was more, maybe a sequel or even that the story was longer, though it already felt like it went on for forever. Ended up getting back with the ex, and after everything that happened it just felt good to have a good ending. Absolutely loved it, 10/10, will play again."

"Writing was full of errors, and had very little choices. Also it was too short to pay almost $5 for. Very little content after I paid, and nothing ever changed in the story after paying. What a rip off! Save your money, try one of the other stories. This one felt rushed, and definitely wasn`t worth my time, or money!! Seemed like it was not completed, or just hurried. Could have been much better. Interesting idea, poor execution. I would give 0 stars if I could."

DESCRIPTION
What doesn`t kill you...kills someone else, and leads you down an ethical rabbit hole. In the near future, paying users can rent the ``virtual experiences`` of other people. These ``feeders`` sublet their own bodies, at the risk of their own lives, so that customers can safely enjoy extreme, potentially self-destructive vices, like binge eating, cliff diving, or worse.
``Rent-a-Vice`` is a 150,000-word interactive cyberpunk-noir mystery novel, and 2018 Nebula Award for Game Writing Finalist, by Natalia Theodoridou, where your choices control the story. It`s entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
You`re a private investigator with a bad habit, an ex, and mountains of debt--troubles so deep that you stand to lose custody of your kid. When a mysterious client asks for your help finding their missing lover in the seamy world of virtual experience, it`s up to you to gather evidence, experience the technology for yourself, and solve the case.
Delve into the darkest corners of the clandestine Rent-a-Vice industry. If you believe the etho-politicians, VE compromises the well-being of society, and normalizes vice and disorder. But what are users after? Is it entertainment, or something deeper? And is there anything in it for the feeders, other than profit?
As for you, will you resist your own vices, or go all in?
• Play as male, female, or non-binary; gay, straight, or bisexual.
• Fight or embrace your personal demons, struggle against the machinery of power, and find friendship in unlikely places.
• Save those in trouble or extort them for your silence, or go rogue and burn the entire industry to the ground.
• Expose corruption or exploit it for your gain.
• Test your skills as a PI while you share other people`s experiences of life and death.
• Trade favors to retain custody of your child; reunite with your ex, or find romance with someone new.
• Become a champion for the marginalized, usher in a new ethical standard, or step on corpses to climb to the top.
