User Reviews for PRY

Pry!!!!

This app is incredibly detailed. I love that the reader transposes their position and is made an active member of the story and how it progresses in a way that is incredible unique. Just so very cool.

Entirely engrossing

I've only played for 10 minutes and have recommended it to all of my friends. It's amazing.

Too short but great

The story is great, the interface is amazing. It is just too short!

Brilliant

Those hungry for alternative storytelling techniques will appreciate (if not love) the clever interaction design this app doles out.

Seeds of Tender Claws’ Future

Remarkable piece. I’ve been a fan of Tender Claws since VVR on Google Daydream and loved every virtual reality experience they’ve made since then; I find their work playful and delightfully weird, though never so abstract that it lacks a human core. It was fascinating to dive into PRY and see certain themes and mechanics found in their later work peeking out in the context of my iPhone. For example, what in VVR becomes worlds within worlds through removing a chain of VR headsets here becomes pinching in and out through time, space, text, and memories. PRY tackles more serious subject matter than their later work, but just as successful within its own established rubric: is this a story that could only be properly told and understood in this format? Absolutely yes-- I’m particularly struck by the empathy generated through various media forms as different states of first-personness. If I had to give PRY critique, it would be that I love the sense of the relentless passage of time even when there are multiple simultaneous narratives, and it feels like cheating when videos loop at the end. I’d prefer them to always blur out, as some moments do. Also just an element of confusion: I can’t figure out why the Appendix lists the total number of red diamonds I’ve collected-- I thought maybe new content gets added to the appendix as I collect more red diamonds, but that doesn’t seem to be the case unless I’m misunderstanding how to access the full appendix (I’m scrolling and pinching). To conclude, no one explores interactive narratives quite like Tender Claws, and PRY is a wonderful exploration of internalness through the various affordances of a touchscreen interface. Highly recommend.

Unique storytelling at its best!

Almost loved this as much as HerStory. Great look at a new way to tell a story.

Ineffably Magical

Absolutely stunning. If you are on the fence about buying this app, choose take the dive, you will thank yourself later. Never have I been more mesmerized by an app. I only wish I paid for it, and I will keep an eye out for ways of supporting this team. I will spend hours delving into the secrets it has. Anything less than 5 stars indicates the rater did not want to understand the app, but it is the best gem I have ever found on the store. Any description, no matter how eloquent and positive, does this story injustice. My attempt would be to call it enigmatic, engaging, enchanting and absolutely immersive. It is ecstatic poetry come to life.Please, continue your profound work. I want to see this series succeed. And what a marvelous start indeed. Wow. Thank you for this gift.
