Summary
You wake up floating. Not in the air, but horizontally in a coffin-sized chamber filled with blue gelatinous fluid. You do not remember what this is. You do not remember why you are here. You do not remember who you are.
This is how it begins: Select-Your-Destiny™, a storytelling experience that places the listener directly in the action by giving them the power to choose what happens. The narrator describes the circumstances, and once a Destiny Node is reached, the listener chooses what happens next. The narrator narrates, the listener chooses. That is how it has always worked—until now.
In this story, the listener chooses to team up with the narrator, collaborating on what shape the story will take. A story of an unnamed teen who must piece together what’s going on after waking from suspended animation in a vacant bunker deep underground without memory. With each twist and turn, each Destiny Node, the listener and narrator begin to recover what was lost. What comes to light will transform them both.

Utterly Blown Away
I am genuinely stunned after listening to this novella. I am baffled and moved and excited and genuinely frustrated that there is currently no more Ribay to get on Audible.
The levels of meta are only more ludicrous than the deftness, purpose, and heart with which they are wielded. I am long time enjoyer of choose your own adventures and roleplaying games, so picking this up at random and that being one of the central conceits was wonderful to see, especially with it being pulled off and subverted with aplomb.
The narrative of the story within the story is fantastic and the one-sided additions from the artificial intelligence narrator in conversation and collaboration with the silent reader is witty and poignant.
I'm completely flabbergasted with just how much I adored this.
Thank you!

Very addicting and thought provoking!
This was a super cool story. I loved the narrator, I wish I could bring him with me, and I feel like I know the reader, even though we never heard their voice.
Not sure what I was expecting, but this was awesome.

Incredible!
IMPORTANT - do not stop listening no matter what, at first this story is a little confusing, but it will become clearer as you listen to more.

Fun labyrinthine thriller!
My mind had very vivid pictures of the environment and characters. Well adapted. Would be curious to hear more from the author.

Missed its mark for me
Maybe I just didn’t get the fake choose your own adventure thing? I found this quite frustrating and unsatisfying. If it hadn’t been as short as it was, I would have given up and returned it.

Well There are 3 wasted hours of my life I’ll never get back!
At the start I was intrigued…then bored with the emptiness of the story. Only hearing the AI ‘narrator’ side of a conversation left big silent gaps. Maybe it would better work in a written format. The whole time I was waiting for something of significance to happen and then it just ended. Not much of a background story that ended suddenly for no apparent reason.

Pointless sudo 'choose your own adventure'!
Why try to suggest that this book was a 'choose your own adventure' when this, clearly, is an audio book?
Very annoying pauses where the author imagines that the listener is gullible enough to try to steer the course of the narrative, and then proceeds to have an imagined conversation with the listener about a film that has absolutely nothing to do with the storyline. Mr Ribay is probably sat at home chuckling to himself about how clever he is.
Luckily I was listening whilst doing other things, otherwise, it would've been a complete waste of time!
please heed my warning and avoid this book, your time is valuable and should be used on more enjoyable pursuits such as watching paint dry...
I'm sure that if the author really thought about it he could have told the story in a more captivating and enjoyable way!
