Truly a hidden gem

I remember playing this game long long ago and it was the first mobile horror game that had me so intrigued with the story, revisiting again now it truly holds up superbly I highly recommend if you come across this game…

Nice Experience

Recommend it 100%

absolutely mind blowing

honestly this is my first time writing a review and it’s much deserved. This game was really good, eye opening, and tricky. My mind was so blown and I had to be very thoughtful. Even in the frustration of not knowing what to do sometimes, I still never thought about deleting it… like I normally do. My one complaint is.. I wish it didn’t end, but all good things must come to a.. well end, THE end.

Pretty dark

Tw// Suicide (in the game)

This game is really good, the ending hit me pretty hard… too bad the second game is paid otherwise I wouldn’t downloaded that too

Love it

I loved this game. The story was very nice quite depressing but cool. I’m downloading again to play since it’s been a while. I would say this is one of the best mobile games I’ve played
