Leider kann man zwei Fälle schon mit der ersten Antwort nicht starten und es heißt immer nicht richtig. Es ist ärgerlich wenn man das nicht spielen kann obwohl man Geld dafür bezahlt. Da bekommt man das Geld weder zurück noch funktioniert es. Die Antworten sind manchmal nicht einfach zu akzeptieren aber nach langen probieren geht es meisten was aber auch sehr nervig ist. Schade das man hier viel Geld möchte aber die Umsetzung dafür nicht gut ist. Nie wieder Geld bezahlen für sowas ### 4/5 — Jeu super intéressant *2026-08-08* Le jeu est super bien sauf les pubs si vous ne voulais pas payer:( et les bugs sur l’histoire 2 qui saute des questions tout seul. J’espère que vous penserez aux personnes qui ne veulent pas payer pour jouer à des jeux et qui sont obligés de regarder des pubs pour continuer:(( ### 4/5 — Some notes… *2026-08-06* I’ve been playing for a while and am on wren’s case, case #7. The game has been free with ads up until this point. Now it’s not allowing me to continue without paying. I have no issue watching ads to continue, please implement that through all the levels not just the first 6. ### 3/5 — Very cool until..:( *2026-08-06* Super cool game absolutely love it. Until I got to the last 2 cases. It was asking me questions and I was confused till I realised it wasn’t me it was the game. There was no photos or albums or voice memos or messages like it says there was supposed to be. Great game but definitely ruined the last 2 cases for me. ### 3/5 — Only get to answer 4 questions *2026-08-06* Was enjoying the game but once you answer the 4th question it brings you to a page for paid subscription or free one month trial via subscription. Wish it was free. Also, saw that apparently if you watch ads it is free but I didn’t get any options for ads, just subscription :( ### 4/5 — Money *2026-08-06, version 1.1.2* This game is actually so fun I only have one critique, I understand that to make it ad free you have to make people pay but honestly I would rather watch ads then pay ### 4/5 — Add Russian language *2026-08-05* I love the game, it is amazing but I’d be much more comfortable to play if you’ll add Russian ❤️👍🌹 ### 4/5 — Very good game *2026-08-04* It’s a very good game although on wrens story most of the stuff was missing or not accessible which made it unable to be played properly ### 4/5 — lol *2026-08-04, version 1.1.1* This game is super fun and has great twist to trick your mind and change your way of thinking. Despite the unclear questions I KNEW it was Adam by the 3rd question. We need a new case ASAP. ### 2/5 — Seriously *2026-08-02, version 1.1.1* Did I really just pay $35 for a year subscription for 8 episodes I’ll beat in one night? ### 4/5 — Great gameee!! *2026-08-01* I love this so much it cured my boredom and is perfect for anyone with to much time on their hands and also perfect for people who love mysteries!!!!! ### 2/5 — J’ai payé l’abonnement annuel mais ça ne vaut pas le coup. *2026-07-31* Le jeu est hyper intéressant et immersif, par contre il y a énormément de bug et incohérences a partir de la 3eme enquête. Les traductions ne sont pas bien faites ou parfois on a des messages en anglais dans le mode français donc pas top pour la cohérence globale. Beaucoup de photo dans les albums ou réseaux sociaux sont générées par de l’ia et le résultat est souvent peu crédible. J’ai fait quasi toute les histoires sauf la dernière entièrement bugué et non aboutie, il manque des éléments, applications et parfois on retrouve du contenue et dialogue identique aux précédentes histoire. (pourquoi rendre un chapitre disponible si pas terminé?) Autre gros irritant, aucune histoires et indices ne m’ont permis de voir les photos supprimées parce que 0 code parfois. J’ai même eu un niveau avec une note verrouillée mais le code est nulle part. L’histoire coréenne avait beaucoup de potentielle mais pareille bug et incohérence. Informations manquantes (cf le nom du chien a disparu de la photo où il était suite a une maj??) Bref. Très déçue. J’en attendais mieux pour le prix. ### 4/5 — really good game *2026-07-31* i really enjoyed this game however the glitches and the jump scare on zoe’s case scared me sososo much i deleted the app!! will download again soon ### 3/5 — Subscription *2026-07-30* This game is so much fun! I really wanted to do more cases, so i signed up for the subscription. In the description of becoming premium, it said i would get unlimited investigations, but it’s still the same amount of 8 cases. When i click on the become premium thing again it just glitches out and doesn’t let me click it. It would get 5 stars if it wasn’t for that issue. ### 4/5 — Great Dev Team, Mid Story *2026-07-30* I don’t really like the story too much, I love the Dev Team seeing the complaints and immediately acting upon them and making the better decision of making it Ads to play for free and pay subscription to relove ads rather than subscription to play, great recognition from them! I found the story slightly confusing and hard to understand, but maybe I’m just slow. Love the game and it’d be 5 stars if i find a better story, I’ve only done the first case in their defense. ### 2/5 — Terrible. *2026-07-29* The first 3 cases super cool 4th alittle harder but fun. Anything past that the apps dont make sense. There are no clues, the photos preview shows some but you open theres no photos, they tell you to check voice memos but there is no app and they give you hints that you cant even use because there wont be anything in the apps they tell you to open. I forsure wasted my money. ### 4/5 — Bug ? *2026-07-28* Alors j’ai fini le premier niveau et sa la recommencer 🥲 ### 4/5 — Overall a good game *2026-07-28* I loved the game it could be confusing at times but I think that made it more fun, however I accidentally purchased the yearly subscription instead of the weekly. I am being charged for both but still only have the subscription for the rest of the week. (I cancelled both). I wish they would refund or make it so that I can keep the subscription for what I paid for. ### 4/5 — fun game but *2026-07-28, version 1.1.1* the game is really fun in the start, before you get to the 4th question. the first case was fun but it was easy to tell who killed who from the start and also just a question, but why so much ai? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Good- terrible *2026-08-10* Loved the Noor case so much I was soo addicted to it and finished it in days. I went to the next case felix and did the first 4 questions as soon as you put the code in, you have to this free trial thing where you have to pay, I have pressed x and skip and continue but nothing works so if this game wanted you to pay then don’t make it for under 18’s. I don’t know if it’s just a glitch on my phone but it means I know can’t do the felix case ### 1/5 — Unbelievably bad *2026-08-07* I wouldn’t recommend. The whole game is based on ai. After 4 questions u have to pay. (I wouldn’t even pay a dime for it) + it’s expensive. The game is just pretty bad and doesn’t really make any sense. It doesn’t give you any clues and is poorly made and designed. I deleted it after playing this guy wretching game for 12 minutes. I just wasted these 12 minutes of my life for this bs ### 1/5 — Not worth 6.99 *2026-08-07* While it is very detailed and you really get to pick through the victims phone, the questions the sister asks are repetitive and the story itself isn’t really a challenge. It’s more like you know who did it and why they did it from the beginning and you just have to find the evidence to convict them. There was never any need to investigate multiple suspects. Finished in one sitting and now it’s over. Wish they had more than one case to solve. ### 1/5 — Have to pay *2026-08-05, version 1.1.2* I was playing peacefully, but after you answer the first 4 questions it makes you pay. ### 1/5 — fun but no *2026-08-02, version 1.1.1* i liked this app very much. but once i was at the last little bit of it. there were reoccurring ads so i couldn’t even complete the game. ### 1/5 — Alles nur KI generiert *2026-07-30* Leider kann man kaum Hinweisen folgen, da nicht mal die Protagonisten auf ihren Bildern gleich aussehen. Alles richtig billig mit KI erstellt ### 1/5 — Really buggy *2026-07-29* The general game is great how ever when you get into the last few cases it doesnt work properly things are showing from old cases and pascodes dont work or photos and files not showing correctly ### 1/5 — Don’t get *2026-07-25, version 1.1.1* Don’t get the free trial they won’t let you cancel. ### 1/5 — Not happy *2026-07-24, version 1.1.1* The game was good then when I tried playing, it kept giving me adds over and over and it was so annoying. ### 1/5 — Bugs *2026-07-24* Was having fun until I got to the fourth case. Half of the necessary texts and photos were gone. Since then, every case is missing a major key piece of evidence. The case I’m on right now requires you to scroll through pictures - there are no pictures! I have refreshed the app a million times. Even used two hints to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. The last case I did did the same thing but with texts! Also half of the answers I put in are marked as incorrect, but then when I use the hints I was correct. Can 100% tell that this game was made by AI. Not even sure if there is a team of real people behind it at this point. A complete waste of my money. Every case is the same. Half of the evidence from one of the first cases is used in the case I’m on right now. They didn’t even bother to change the names!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bien mais *2026-08-10* Je suis bloqué au chapitre 1 c est tellement bien mais je ne trouve nulle part le code de note au cas où même chat gpt n’a pas réussi si je pourrais avoir un peut d’aide mais sinon excellent jeu ### 5/5 — tolles Spiel *2026-08-01* mir macht das spiel unglaublich viel spaß, die fälle sind super und auch kniffelig das man etwas zeit braucht. Ich hoffe es kommen noch mehr fälle. Habe mich aber heute schon sehr gefreut, dass bereits neue dazu gekommen sind. bitte hört nicht auf es ist mega! ### 5/5 — Perfect game *2026-07-31, version 1.1.1* Soooo fun and complicated it's going to take me a while to solve this im so excited! ### 5/5 — 😀 *2026-07-28, version 1.1.1* Awsome just wish k could play more cases!! Is there only one? ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-27, version 1.1.1* I loved this and it kept me busy for a long time ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-07-26* More cases ### 5/5 — Very *2026-07-23, version 1.1.1* Fun ### 5/5 — so fun *2026-07-23, version 1.1.1* this game is so fun but you need to add more cases! ### 5/5 — Question *2026-07-23, version 1.1.1* Hi! I’ve been playing this game and I am obsessed! I just wanted to ask if like the jump-scare with the girl and the phone glitching is like apart of the game, or if was just me? I was so freaked out.. ### 5/5 — Brain games *2026-07-23, version 1.1.1* Keep you thinking and your brain going --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
