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'.

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.
Has potential...
Sun Apr 30 2023 Jun The BugI found this while I was searching for MeChat and decided to install it. The character development is stable enough and it's good. One of my problems? DIAMONDS! The prices to get good choices such as using a pick up lines to further your relationship, picking out clothes for dates, picking scenes for dates, and even seeing pictures are insane. Although I'm not too mad about it since I can get 10 diamonds each day. I'm just more disappointed. There's also the ability to watch an ad to get 4 or 2 more diamonds when you level up your relationships. However, your diamonds go away QUICK! Think you're stable enough with the starting amount once you install? Don't worry, because you'll find yourself with your diamond amount in the single digits. Watching ads when you don't level up, only gives you a single diamond as if THAT is going to help you 😑 Second off, I'm a bit surprised the game is only really suited to girls. There isn't a male option which was weird to me when I started out. Third isn't really something that bothers me too much, but it gets me confused. When you go on dates, your date almost looks nothing like how they look in their pictures through text or thier profile pictures. That's weird but I don't see that as a complaint because your date isn't at least a whole different person 😂 I'd the dev team can fix these problems, me and other valued installers would surely be grateful. This game has potential, but the cons DEFINITELY outweigh the pros. ❤️
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.
Good stories but gameplay is near impossible
Thu Jul 27 2023 stream boy with luv btsThe stories are pretty good so far so it’s a shame that the app itself is so hard to enjoy. I ran out of the initial diamonds given. If this was combined with the functionality of MeChat I think it would be better. More opportunities to earn diamonds. I refuse to pay $2 for 20 gems-that doesn’t even cover 2 whole choices for the most part. There are a lot of times in each chapter where you need diamonds so it’s very annoying. It’s way too hard to earn them so you just end up having to wait unless you have the money the waste. I remember the days where paying was for the extra experience or privileges in games-it wasn’t 100% necessary for gameplay like it is for most apps and video games now. I understand people need to be paid for their effort but it seems like you’d want people to be able to play more and actually enjoy it. At this point, I can’t play more than a few minutes a day. If I get 20 diamonds from the the daily reward, it takes 5 minutes to use because that’s how close together the choices are. Even some options to watch ads and earn would be fine. ———————————— The response also reminded me-after leaving my initial review the option for watching ads popped up. You get 1 diamond for watching. 1-_-. I got 80 diamonds for the daily check in today. I was able to continue the chapter I was on yesterday and guess what-still wasn’t able to finish it. I even skipped a paid option or two and have yet to finish the chapter. I’ve just accepted that if I want to continue reading, it’ll be once a day. I’ve used so many other apps and while they can also get annoying, paying for diamonds is not a must to actually use the app for more than a few minutes. I’ll delete soon but decided to just keep it a few days for the morning when I’m just mindlessly opening and closing apps.————— Another update before I delete this thing-the daily diamond page disappeared. I got 80 diamonds again instead of the 120 it said was next for the fourth or fifth day and the page is completely gone. I honestly think the app is a waste if you’re not going to spend money on it bc it’s just near impossible to really play. They make sure you have choice other than paying or not using the app at all.
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.
