Drink your villain juice by @drinkyourvillainjuice

I downloaded it years ago and really loved it. I played it multiple times. It’s a text based game with some illustrations in which you make choices that lead you to multiple good and bad endings. The premise is that you die as a young adult and then get reincarnated. You live out that new life in the game.

ANYWAYS so not too long after I downloaded and played it, I recommended it to some people. However they couldn’t find it. And I found out it was removed from the App Store for whatever reason. I’m getting a new phone very soon and I’m worried it won’t transfer onto it. Especially since there’s nothing about it online and I can’t find anyone else who’s played it.

If there’s any people who are fans of the game or know a way I can preserve it please do tell me. It’s a mobile game which makes this a lot trickier as I didn’t download it from the internet.
