It’s a free game with no ads other than the option to use them for clues. If you do decide to watch an ad for a clue it is quick and easy to skip ahead to get back to playing. The puzzles are amazing and the interactive feeling of the phone, messages, reading emails talking to friends it all makes you feel like you are in the actual story. Absolutely blown away by this game. If you love murder mystery interactive games this is absolutely the one for you.

I can’t stop playing this game!! ### 5/5 — Crazy detailed game *2026-08-29, version 3.1.5* I love escape rooms, puzzles, riddles, etc. this game TRULY satisfies that itch to solve and use your brain. Some puzzles arent easy and I’ve had to use the hint system a handful of times. I’ve been playing this game for about 2 weeks and finally finished episode 3. Amazing art/graphics, no problem at all, great plot, love the voice acting. Everyone involved in the making of this game is incredibly talented. Actually cannot wait for the fourth episode. I still have no idea what happened to Zoey lol! Thank you for this app! ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2026-08-29, version 3.1.5* This game is mint ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-29, version 3.1.5* This is an amazing game ### 5/5 — How is this real?!?! *2026-08-29, version 3.1.5* I love this game! The developers you can see really love it too! There is so much effort, and it makes you think, unlike other mobile games or games in general! The story is intriguing, and it’s actually fun! And there so much in it! I love how there is red herrings, and when you are waiting for the next chapter, it makes you think witch is and witch isn’t! The characters act really, the real challenges of life! This is such a fun game, highly recommend! There’s a reason why this game is almost 5 stars, and the music fits the vibe, (well it does make me freak out a bit 😅) It’s probably the best mystery game ever! Thank you for making this! I love mystery’s and this is amazing! ### 5/5 — PLEASE *2026-08-29, version 3.1.5* PLEASE I NEED CHAPTER FOUR IM DESPERATE ME AND MY FRIEND ARE PLEASE I LOVE THE GAME SO MUCH PLEASE I LOVE U SO MUCH IF U RELEASE SEASON FOUR THIS YEAR THIS IS MY FAVORITE GAME I WANNA SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN LILY SAYS ABOUT BRAD AND HIS GROUP PLEASEEEEEEE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS PLEASE PLS PLS PLS SARANGHAE BRO PLEASE IM OBSESSED WITH THIS GAME AND I NEED SEASON 4 NOWWWWWWWW PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO ZOEY AND PLEASE DONT QUIT NEVER GIVE UP JUST DO IT BROOOOOOOO PLEASSSEEEEEEEE ### 5/5 — LOVEEEEE *2026-08-29, version 3.1.5* best game ever so thought out ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-08-29, version 3.1.5* This is a game you could get addicted to easily. ### 5/5 — The best!!! *2026-08-28, version 3.1.5* Can’t help but play ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-28, version 3.1.5* The puzzles are interesting and challenging and there’s no ads 10/10 keep up the great work it’s amazing ### 5/5 — Game *2026-08-28, version 3.1.5* Love the game! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-28, version 3.1.5* A reallly good game.

Probably the best detective or even best of all games! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scary asf *2026-08-30, version 3.1.5* Scary asf ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-08-16, version 3.1.4* On episode 2 I can’t get into the hamster game I even searched it up and it still didn’t work. I have put a lot of effort in this. 1 star. ### 1/5 — Stuck *2026-08-13, version 3.1.2* I’m on episode 2 day 53 and it won’t let me past the little hamsters login screen even though I put in the username and right password (I know it’s correct as I have searched up what the password was and I was right) please help. ### 1/5 — Boooooring. *2026-08-12, version 3.1.2* The mist boring, POINTLESS game I was ever tricked into trying. ### 1/5 — No New Updates in a Year *2026-07-30, version 3.1.1* While I enjoyed playing this game when I downloaded it, I have finished the stories and there have been no updates with new stories in a year, so the app just sits there taking up space. At this point it is useless to me. ### 1/5 — Boring *2026-07-25, version 3.1.1* Boring….really bad opening story choices…Boring ### 1/5 — great game! But *2026-07-24, version 3.1.1* I got the the point where i must delete lily’s photo from the chat but i cant load the old messages from the chat to delete it! can you please fix the problem ### 1/5 — Good game but not finished *2026-07-14, version 3.1.1* This is a great game but the creators apparently have stopped working on the next season of the game. There have been no updates about the release and the story isn’t even close to done and it’s been close to a year. One star from a disappointed fan. Come one guys, finish this already. ### 1/5 — Dumb *2026-07-07, version 3.1.1* First I do not believe all these 5 star reviews are real. All you do is read texts, emails etc. There are no scenes to investigate. Only weird “puzzles” to solve with ZERO instructions unless you watch ads. Even when you do tasks correctly you are still told to do it (after watching another ad). Also the wording doesn’t make sense a lot of times so I am assuming English is not the 1st language of the developers. And during text conversations you don’t get to choose what YOU want to say. Terrible game. ### 1/5 — Não tá dando *2026-07-05* Ja sai do jogo desinstalei instalei denovo e mesmo a mensagem não envia pra lilly no capitulo 1 nao consigo passar disso 😩🤦🏽‍♀️ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I really like the story *2026-08-30, version 3.1.5* The interactive part to the story is really good! It’s really immersive as well. ### 5/5 — OBSESSED!! *2026-08-30, version 3.1.5* I love this game so much!! It’s literally so fun and addictive, 10/10 recommend. ### 5/5 — Fun and addictive *2026-08-30, version 3.1.5* Really fun and addictive not many ads to ### 5/5 — Exceptional! *2026-08-30, version 3.1.5* This is the best game I have ever played on a mobile device. This is the level of quality that I wish was present in the other detective type games I have played. The storyline is fascinating, the puzzles are challenging, and the difficulty level is perfect. I am enjoying this game so much that I hate the idea of it being over because there is nothing to compare to it in the App Store. ### 5/5 — I love it!!! 😄 *2026-08-30, version 3.1.5* This game is so fun and it’s like you are actual detective you find out stuff about this case and it’s so cool! You have to be very good at puzzles but also teamwork and I think that is what I like about this game ❤️✌🏻 ### 5/5 — ❤️❤️❤️ *2026-08-30, version 3.1.5* Awesome and immersive mystery with fun puzzles! Gets those brain cells working!!!! Very little amount t of ads too, perfect for anyone who enjoys a good puzzle game with an interactive and immersive story! ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-30, version 3.1.5* Great game and keeps you on your toes! ### 5/5 — I LOVE IT *2026-08-30, version 3.1.5* this game is so entertaining , I love all the plot twist , recently I stopped playing cause I broke my iPad , I recently got it turned back on and now I’ve been playing it all day !!!
