### 1/5 — A bad experience

*2022-09-20*

Downloaded and tried to open but kept saying ‘cannot access server - check internet connection’, which was absurd because the internet was fine. Also told me that I was ‘logged in’ as someone I’ve never heard of. Shame, as I like the Scarrow books, but I don’t trust this game. Seems dodgy to me.
