### 3/5 — Alright

*2026-08-17, version 1.2.1*

Seems alright up to now

### 3/5 — A bit disappointed

*2026-08-15, version 1.2.1*

I usually love playing the games from this developer, I always look forward to each episode coming out as I did for the 3rd episode of this game but the English and grammar in this isn’t the best this time. The texts don’t make sense and are usually incomplete sentences. I KNOW that English isn’t the first language of the developers but the other games haven’t been an issue, there might be a few things here and there but overall it’s usually ok.
This game seems to have moved towards using a lot of A.I. And it seems some of the voice actors are A.I bots.

### 4/5 — You’re killing us

*2026-08-10*

Seriously I love you guys and all your games, but Circus has been sitting on 99% for episode three for over a week and we’re dying to read. Please put it 🖤🙏

### 3/5 — Needs some work

*2026-08-07*

It’s a good game. The plot is interesting and it’s fun to play. There are just a few things that really take away from the game play that are relatively easy fixes. 1.) Hire somebody that fluently speaks English to translate. It pulls me out of the game when there are mistakes like using “you” instead of “they.” 2.) Have consistent voice actors. I just can’t get behind having Stella be southern one second and then German the next. God forbid the awful Ai voices are used. It’s just a mess. I do understand the original actors are likely German but there are plenty of American actors that would do this voice acting on a budget. Overall, this game has good bones but it’s hard to experience it to its full potential currently.

### 4/5 — Love these story games

*2026-07-08*

I’ve just started this one and so far I’ve really liked it. Although I hate those mini games to continue the story, overall so far so good

### 4/5 — So far so good!

*2026-07-06, version 1.2.1*

I’m not very far in. Just reviewing for additional game hearts. But the game is good so far; it is similar vibes to Argus, the Healing and Orphans!

### 3/5 — Good game bad AI

*2026-05-25, version 1.2.1*

I love these games. I can’t get over the bad AI voices. Go back to actual voice actors please!

### 2/5 — Leider viele Rückschritte

*2026-05-16*

Vorweg: Orphans und The Sign waren Meisterwerke und ich war auch mal Fan von Reality Games. Bei Circus of Death bin ich aber an dem Punkt wo ich es nicht mehr weiterspielen will. Gründe? Es ist ungefähr so spannend wie ein Labyrinth in dem es nur geradeaus geht. Bin in Kapitel 3 und bisher gab es keinerlei Rätsel. Enttäuschend. Egal welche Antwort man gibt, es fühlt sich linear und belanglos an. Dazu kommen die Dialoge. Wer sich spannenden Terror aller Es verspricht findet nichts dergleichen. Mir fehlen die Worte wie unfassbar dämlich sich alle verhalten (inklusive des Spielers). Stellt euch vor ein Freund stirbt und der Täter ist hinter euch her. Die Lösung? In der Wohnung Mausefallen verteilen und später selber reintreten… Kein Witz. Das passiert hier. Soll das lustig sein? Vermutlich, aber so kann ich das Spiel nicht ernst nehmen und es ist nicht mehr spannend oder Gruselig. Das Flirten war bei The Sign oder Healing auch schonmal besser und selbst der VIP 
Bereich (ja, ich kaufe die Spiele immer) ist gähnend leer. Dafür kommt ab einem gewissen Punkt wieder hinter den Legenden. Langweilige Minutenlange Videos. Gähn. Sorry, aber für mich ist das Circus of Boring.

### 4/5 — so far really like the game (as always!)

*2026-05-08*

Reality games are always great and this one seems no different! I always love their games. The storyline seems fun and I am intrigued to see what comes next. The only thing I would improve is not using AI for the characters or voices I don’t mind them for the pictures, but it sometimes takes you out of the story when it’s AI instead of a real character otherwise great

### 3/5 — Freezinggg🥶

*2026-04-09, version 1.2.1*

(Made January 2025) I’ve installed other games made by this company, The healing, orphans, and Argus there might have been a few small glitches to them but they were great overall and I was able to play them. I just can’t open this game. It’s continually freezing on the intro page and won’t load past 2%. If it is possible to please fix these bugs it would be appreciated. The storyline seems great and I really hope I can play it one day!

(Update June 1 2025) it finally started working 2 days ago! I’m so happy I can finally play it. It took a long time hence the 3 star rating, I still can’t listen to audio recordings, but I can hear calls, haptics, and see photos.

### 3/5 — I love these games but….

*2026-02-02, version 1.2.1*

Orphans was amazing, probably the best game I have ever played. This one is just nowhere near as good. The characters are unlikeable, some of the dialogue is long, drawn out and unnecessary. I’m just not feeling this one and I’ve played all of this developers games. I’ve given it a 3 purely because I like this style of game.

### 2/5 — Its okay not as interactive as i would like

*2026-01-06, version 1.2.1*

Its a good game just wish it was more interactive

### 4/5 — So far fun games

*2025-12-22, version 1.2.1*

Game finally running love it yet the puzzles are much harder this game.

### 4/5 — So far I’m liking it

*2025-12-15, version 1.2.1*

So far the storyline seems interesting

### 4/5 — Much Has Changed (Updated)

*2025-12-12, version 1.2.1*

I’ve been playing all of Reality Games’s games now since The Sign, but I went back and played both Seven games as well as Help Annie, too. 

I’ve been a major fan for years now, but my feelings have been changing for a while. With the Seven games, it was an exciting plot line, but the conversations were very short and the characters felt very one dimensional. 

I think RG really hit their peak with The Sign, The Healing, and Orphans. There was the right amount of dialogue and tension to create an engaging and addicting experience. But with Argus, Circus of Death, and The Stage… I mentioned this in my first review prior to this update, but the acting is… really not good.

I think it’s cool you guys want to involve fans, but there’s no way you’re picking according to their acting skills. And as I said before, they don’t need to be perfect. But if their friend just got murdered and they’re terrified, they should sound … afraid? Hysterical? I know people think acting is easy but until you tape yourself doing it, you can’t tell if you actually sound believable or completely stilted. I won’t be mean and name the worst, but not many are decent. Like with Sandro driving to the factory, he sounds like he’s being forced to read a book about tax compliance laws. 

Just use a couple fans for minor characters or do better screening. Also, the dialogue is getting to be TOO MUCH now to the point where I’m getting bored. We talk forever about Laurens being “sus” without anything exciting happening. The conversation can also be very juvenile, like the part about your character supposedly complaining about “peeing their pants” in a text to their mom. Smh.

It’s like this in The Stage, too. I put my phone down many times because I really didn’t care to read about their boring drive any longer. I’m still leaving four stars, because it’s still better than most games out there… but I really hope you guys can go back to your 2020-2023 game style. Keeping my fingers crossed for Crimson Island. Still love you guys.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-11-18, version 1.2.1*

Love it

### 1/5 — Waiting???????

*2026-02-27, version 1.2.1*

Would be a great game if it didn’t take so long for you to finish it. I pay for the premium on all these games and I have to keep paying monthly while you drag your feet getting out the rest. Kinda a scam to just keep charging me monthly.

### 1/5 — It's all German

*2026-02-13, version 1.2.1*

Unless you understand German don't bother. No one of the buttons work can tchange language or contact anyone.

### 1/5 — Not even working?

*2026-01-18*

I can’t get past the “intro” screen. Was hoping for another “orphans” but I guess not.

### 1/5 — Really.

*2025-11-18, version 1.2.1*

Not a Black character in the game and someone gets shot and is compared to 50cent?! Are you kidding me with this?

### 1/5 — Is anyone having this issue?

*2025-06-27*

I’m trying to start playing, but all the pictures are blank.  I have restarted my phone, delete, restart and install the game, but with the same issue.  Any suggestions?

### 1/5 — You’re losing money

*2025-06-26*

Unfortunately, it took forever for the game to finally work on my phone at all. I have a newer gen iPhone. Also, now that it will load through the story, none of the media will load. No photos, or video. I had started a subscription for premium and VIP, but will not continue it if I’m not getting what I’m paying for. You’re losing money, and I’m losing money. Bummer.

### 1/5 — Unable to play

*2025-04-24*

I was so excited to see a new game! Love the developers and love the games they put out. But won’t load intro and once I press start it will not load past that, I have uninstalled and reinstalled didn’t work. I attempted multiple internet connections and nothing. Please fix!

### 1/5 — Wont work

*2025-04-19, version 1.0.93*

I downloaded it went to open it gets stuck on the start screen PLEASE FIX THIS

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2025-04-06, version 1.0.93*

This app won’t even go past the start screen. I have great internet speeds and have never experienced this even once with another app or game. I’ve tried reinstalling it and everything else I can think of. Still can’t play it

### 1/5 — LUV IT

*2025-04-04, version 1.0.93*

Luv your games just wondering when next episode for English will be out? Can’t wait to play more episodes 😊❤️

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2026-04-19, version 1.2.1*

Little bit slow but I can tell it’s going to get better, I’ve only had the introduction to everyone and been told about the missing girl. Will re-review once I’m done with the 1st chapter

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-03-25, version 1.2.1*

Great game, love that it works at my pace

### 5/5 — Richtig gute Story, aber…

*2026-03-02*

Ich finde die Idee der Story richtig gut und die Mini Games super. Manche Charaktere und Gespräche sind meiner Meinung nach jedoch leider etwas zu drängend und lang gezogen. 

Aber ansonsten macht es sehr Spaß das Spiel zu spielen! Vielen lieben Dank für die Arbeit

### 5/5 — Ok

*2025-11-24, version 1.2.1*

It’s an interesting game really I just realized I was afraid of clowns

### 5/5 — Fun

*2025-11-21, version 1.2.1*

Always love this developers games!

### 5/5 — Chapter 3?

*2025-11-19*

Left me on a cliffhanger. Wondering when Chapter 3 will be coming out. Hopefully there will be more clown action. The clown is cool, the concept is cool, Finn is cool. I enjoyed it so far. 5/5
