Our Expert Score
My Escape: My Secret Crush is a polished entry in the interactive romance genre. It follows the 'Choices' or 'Episodes' formula but adds a bit more visual flair and more frequent story branching. The writing is surprisingly self-aware, often leaning into the tropes of the genre with a wink to the player.
The art style is clean and expressive, which is vital for a game where emotional beats are the primary mechanic. While the 'diamond' choices (premium currency) can be a bit steep, the free paths are still coherent and enjoyable. It's a solid 'beach read' of a game—perfect for those who want a light, romantic drama where they get to steer the ship. The variety of love interests ensures there's something for everyone's 'type'.

Great Game
Wed Mar 22 2023 Swimmer20121994Ok so this game is great very interactive and gets your mind going. The one downfall is waiting for the stories to be developed and not knowing how long it will take before the stories are back. And I don’t want to waste my diamonds on other stories when I have hit the climax of all of my stories that I am currently waiting for. And also wish there were more lower diamond choices to choose from when talking or even on a date with the guys on the story so you don’t have to keep buying the diamonds and spending money out of your pocket. But over all it is a great game.
I would rate a 5 if I could!
Wed Jun 08 2022 hsisksbshdjjdndkssihsbsHi! I absolutely love this app and the stories but waiting two hours for only one ticket then being capped off at two tickets is horrible! I get into a story and I can’t even read anymore of it because I’m capped off and I can’t afford the high prices for the tickets! I think doing thirty minutes until the next ticket and having five max at a time would be the best and there would be many more happy players! I personally know many people who have gotten this app fell in love with a story then got rid of it because they couldn’t ready anymore of it because of the long wait and only having two tickets at a time. Like I said I absolutely love this game but there needs to be improvements if you want more users. I personally am one who is about ready to get rid of the app because of this. Edit: I took away another star because lately I’ve had the issue of the timer for the two hours not starting until I open the app. I always wake up to two tickets ready to go but for the past three days every time I go into the app I have no tickets at all and the timer then start’s. It’s extremely annoying when we already only get two tickets and it takes two hours to get another.
Prices are ABSURD.
Fri Apr 07 2023 MoniAngelitaI really liked this game and seriously enjoyed the experience and would like to engage much more. I would be all over this app but the prices are absolutely insane. It makes better business sense to offer this game at prices people can actually afford. Taking the business model of an affordable monthly subscription with REASONABLE prices on things like diamonds would make more sense fiscally. Maybe most users will read a story or two but will inevitably look somewhere else. Eventually there will be no more people left to squeeze and the apps reputation will eventually catch up to the creators until the inevitable. It’s short sided, unfair to the users and everyone loses. I am writing this as I look for other apps to replace this one. It made for a real bad user experience that makes me want to never come back after feeling like the creators tried to scam me. So I’m gone and taking my money elsewhere. Take it or leave it…whatever
Just play a different game
Tue Apr 25 2023 NightwlndThis game is okay but cost too much, they’ll give you about 20 diamonds off rip but options cost 12 or 17 diamonds. It can also be a challenge to get diamonds for chatting so you’ll most likely have to buy them. I would be okay with this, a little annoyed but okay with it if you didn’t NEED the diamonds. You need diamonds to pick cute outfits, make good decisions, and most of all you need diamonds to be a nice person which make me mad. If you don’t have diamonds you respond in rude ways. An example that was in the game would be how someone was telling me about their sad, horrible past and asked if I wanted them to continue, I didn’t have diamonds but I needed the diamonds to answer yes, the free option however was “no, screw you👎🏽” which is not fair. Just go play me chat of some other game, this game isn’t worth it.
More options?
Sun Feb 18 2024 oscar twiggI downloaded the game, started setting up my profile, and immediately deleted it. This was due to the lack of options for character choice. All of them were designed to be women, and they all looked relatively similar. In short, there were VERY limited options. As a gay man, I downloaded this game as I do with every game like this that I see- because every time, there’s no options to be men. So I always download to see if there is. Later, my friend informed me that there is two stories in which you can be a gay man, but they’re deeper in the app. The lack of choice upon the start of the game is very limiting to players and I’m sure there’s many others who also were dissuaded from playing the game due to this. If you just made all the interactions gender neutral and had the option to be a masculine or feminine character, a lot more people would play the game.
So much potential
Mon May 06 2024 Abby1317To begin, this game has a lot of potential, but only getting ONE gem a day for free and then having to watching ads for only one gem is insane. When answers cost anywhere between 7-24 gems and I can only get so few at a time. I wait all day to even answer a text. I liked it when we got more daily gems and it made it more exciting and enjoyable. Another issue is how often gems are required for a conversation. Going only a few texts in and having to pay 14 gems to continue. And when you do decided to use them, you have to do it again a few more texts in. This game has a lot of potential but I’m not even tempted to buy the gems with the prices and how low the amount of gems you’re getting.
Meh
Sat May 07 2022 Fluffly MarshmallowThis app to me is a knockoff of Chapters and Episode just kinda worse. The app sometimes just breaks all together and I can’t play for the next 2 days or so. Also everything is so expensive in the story’s and I shouldn’t have to speak 2 dollars just for 20 diamonds (at least one option is 17 diamonds sometimes 12). It’s a ripoff just go get Chapters or Episodes. It’s my honest opinion sometimes you can even see other people complaining about the price when you look on the story’s chat. But the bright side is they have warnings on the books to inform you what triggering things are in the book. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because the books are nice to read and they are starting to post more books to read.
1 star
Thu Apr 27 2023 Loleona1 star because I think the amount of diamonds for everything is absurd. You have to either pay money or watch so many adds for 1 diamond each. I have to stop talking to matches when we get dates because I have to save up to get a good outfit. Another thing is that the characters do not look like their profile pictures on dates barely at all. They look like entire different people. I also would like to bring up how there’s no gender inclusivity in this game at all. I was a bit thrown back at how their was only a woman option. I wish that there were storylines for men and non-binary people as well. The dialogue when matched up with certain people can be very cringe to say the least. My first matches dialogue almost made me delete the app. Definitely worth 1 star.
