### 5/5 — Good game

*2015-07-23, version 1.3.2*

A very good game. Previously, there  was something wrong with the audio Quality. Reading the updated instructions, I realized  that bye  having microphone enabled, The audio quality was hugely reduced. To be precise, 16000  Hz. After disabling the microphone, it went away.

This is  a grait game. I love playing it. And making different choices every time.

### 5/5 — Really awesome app!

*2015-07-15, version 1.3.2*

I love the app. It's a nice game to play. I do have to agree with the previous review, though. I would like to see mission to come out. Make sure Honeyborne is in it. She's my favorite (not to mention the hottest) agent. :-)

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2015-07-04, version 1.3.2*

This game is superb and excellently made. Very creative. Please do update soon (: I'm looking forward to playing it

### 5/5 — Grat!

*2015-05-31, version 1.3.2*

I really hope this game get the updated soon. It is a great game, but I really want to know what happens in season two. Please update soon!

### 5/5 — Great

*2015-05-24, version 1.3.2*

Love the holiday episode... :-)

### 5/5 — Great

*2014-12-22, version 1.3.1*

The new holiday episode is amazing, i found two endings but still working on the third 👍

Hint:(spoilers)
Silence is an option.

I'm still working on the 'last man standing' achievement...
Btw i already had signum cigny, weird...

### 5/5 — Great new episodes

*2014-12-21, version 1.3.1*

This has a lot more to offer now. The latest episodes are trying something new, especially the free holiday party episode. It's nice to see them put out more to play with new experiments. I'm interested to see what's next.

### 4/5 — Amazing but short

*2014-12-14, version 1.3*

This radio drama is absolutely stunning! The voices are spot-on and really high quality (I especially enjoy Alex's voice). You play as a spy in the game and it's quite exciting. You can always go back and change your choices if you were curious if you chose differently. One thing I'm a little bummed out about was how short they were. While the episodes always leave me wanting more, it's not necessarily a bad thing- but not good either. I am quite surprised that it's quite obscure as of now. Nevertheless, bravo on the makings of this game and I am looking forward to more soon! I'd love to see mission 2 and find out what happens next!

### 5/5 — New Update! Achievements are Awesome!

*2014-09-25, version 1.2.5*

Loving the new update, especially the achievements! Really fun game/app and can't wait for mission 2!

### 5/5 — Lots of fun

*2014-07-28, version 1.2.5*

It kept me playing for a long time. I can't wait until part 2 comes out

### 5/5 — Amazing job!

*2014-07-14, version 1.2.5*

Immersive and top
-quality, from the sleek design to the voicework and SFX; I could tell that real effort went into nailing that 60's spy-fiction flair, making it retro without getting too campy. Though the format means certain restrictions apply when it comes to the interactive aspect, the developers do a good job at integrating your choices and offering different avenues to success. Hoping to see more from the casefiles of Cygnus!

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2014-05-16, version 1.2.5*

This is the best game I've ever played.

### 5/5 — A Kickstarted App that delivers!

*2014-04-18, version 1.2.5*

Right up my alley.

### 5/5 — Very good app for users of voiceover

*2014-03-25, version 1.2.5*

I enjoy using this app and I have been with this product for a good few months. I believe it is one of the most accessible games I have ever used. Also I hope they're able to acquire their funding goals.

### 4/5 — Very good but a little biggie

*2014-03-23, version 1.2.5*

Very good but a little biggie.   I've had to restart several chapters.  It took me a while to understand when the decisions I made were correct and when they were not.   Some of the decision points don't include decisions so seam useless.  Would like a way to sync across devices.

### 1/5 — Stone

*2016-03-28, version 1.3.2*

This game is good, but the voice mike needs some work...

### 1/5 — Facebook required to play

*2013-09-04, version 1.0*

Dammit, this looked awesome!

### 1/5 — Mandatory Facebook login for Episode 2+

*2013-09-02, version 1.0*

Thanks, but no thanks.

### 1/5 — Facebook required to play??

*2013-09-01, version 1.0*

It makes you log into Facebook to purchase the other chapters. No Facebook account here so I guess they won't be getting any money! Deleted the app. Nice try, fellows! LOL.

### 2/5 — Need Facebook to purchase episodes

*2013-09-01, version 1.0*

To bad they require a Facebook account to purchase episodes. Seems like a really interesting concept, but I won't login to any game if it requires Facebook. Guess I'll delete.

### 2/5 — Login to Facebook for purchase?

*2013-09-01, version 1.0*

This is an interesting game with great replay potential. However what drops it for me from 5 stars is the requirement to login to Facebook to purchase missions or episodes. Remove this requirement and it's a 5 star app easy.

### 4/5 — Pretty good game but needs a bit of work ... here’s how

*2020-05-28, version 1.4.0*

Hello,
This is a pretty good game thus far. Like I said in my original piece, the accessability of AirPods is not present. I had to use the earbuds which came with my iPhone instead. Another thing is that although the music’s good, the audio sometimes flickers—that is, it’ll repeat sometimes as if the app’s skipping slightly. Yet another thing, sometimes, the microphone doesn’t pick up my sayings, so I  have to say them again after the actors speak their parts. Like that though, the whole speaking and all. Also as I said back in my original review, if VoiceOver were able to be used, it’d be better. This is, of course, not only for me but anyone who has speech difficulties/can’t ennounciate clear enough for the game to recognize. I sure would hate to hear about people with speech difficulties not to play with this app due to them.

### 4/5 — voice recognition doesn't work

*2018-12-07, version 1.3.2*

I love the audio and the way decisions influence the game. However, I cannot get voice recognition to work. Also, this is minor but when downloading an episode, it says 10000.0 percent. Just figured I'd point it out even though it doesn't affect gameplay at in any way.

### 4/5 — Great

*2016-06-02, version 1.3.2*

Great game

### 4/5 — Awesome game

*2015-03-06, version 1.3.1*

Completed all the episodes and now I am waiting for Season two, I really recommend this game to a blind person out there. I have one problem with the mission Neptune's Lair, how come wen your wooing Seth or Serena IT skips the part wen there having sex, just asking

### 5/5 — Exciting and fun

*2023-04-02*

I like games where I have to be smart this game shows how far you can go with being smart and sneaky. I also like doing all the cool things that I wish I could do if I was cited, keep making more chapters.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2020-11-08, version 1.4.0*

This was a great game and I encourage everyone who has never played this sort of game before or anyone who likes the sort of game to play

### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER

*2019-01-16, version 1.3.2*

PLEASE FIX THE VOICE ACTING AND THE MIC SO I CAN LISTEN TO THE STORY AND TALK TO MY FRIENDS PLEASE AND MAKE THE CHOICES WHILE DOING THOSE THINGS WITH MY PHONE OFF PLEASE

### 5/5 — Having trouble playing with headphones

*2018-12-27, version 1.3.2*

I have trouble playing the game with my JVC headphones.

I guess I wish I wish you guys would upgrade the app to where you would be adaptable with all brands of headphones

### 5/5 — Not my type but awesome

*2018-05-05, version 1.3.2*

This type of game is not what I normally look for. I stumbled across it by accident  and fell in love instantly. You guys did a really good job. If you are having issues financially I am sure that most visually impaired gamers would love to pay for you guys to continue this. I know I would. Keep up the good work guys don’t quit. Thanks

### 5/5 — I really like it

*2017-09-08, version 1.3.2*

Really pleasant to play and even relaxing.
This is great. So fun way to enjoy the story telling. Stories are witty and even classy. Love this and thank you for the wonderful app. My favorite!

### 5/5 — Voice acting on point!

*2016-07-10, version 1.3.2*

LOVE THIS.  I really do.  The price drop was much appreciated! But my issue is that mission 2 has been in limbo for more than a year...it would be torture if they drop this project.

EDIT: supposedly, there will be more Cygnus coming and the company is in the middle of making some big changes.  So don't abandon hope yet? I think?

### 5/5 — Abandon hope?

*2016-05-27, version 1.3.2*

All right guys, it has been over a year since your last update, should we all abandon hope of mission two ever coming out?

### 5/5 — Cool game

*2016-05-12, version 1.3.2*

I love this game, I'm looking forward for the updates and especially mission 2

### 5/5 — Me

*2015-08-08, version 1.3.2*

This game is totally awesome :-) I love the interaction :-) I love how you can get voice command explain
