My first App Store review
I’ve never felt compelled to write a review for an app - but this one I feel like I need to in order to provide a warning to users… there is no clean ending, answers, etc. That said, within 10 mins I was able to figure out the majority of the storyline. If you’re a big true crime person, this will be a bit predictable for you.

Intrigue
fun but i got stuck after dragging the window too far up
It’s okay but not great
The story is unrealistic no matter how you interpret it and it’s too short. It leaves you wondering “is that all?”. It’s not challenging in any way and it just falls flat. I like the idea but the story didn’t live up to expectations. If they used the same idea for a better mystery I’d definitely give it another go.

Neat Concept - Disapointing
This game no doubt took some time to make and it was a fun concept. However after a while it just got old. You can only see the first five entries of the search term so if you get something with 6 or more then you have to narrow it down. There were a series of questions that were just yes and no answers and that was all that was there and I have no idea how anyone got to watch those. So many of the clips were just pointless clips to watch. There is nothing that says congratulations you solved the case or something somewhat rewarding that says you put her in jail and allows you to state your case against her. Games need some finally and something to let you know you actually solved things right. If there were more putting things together or prompts to type things you solved that would be great.
You can put things into a cue and the database was nice to show what videos you haven’t seen. It would have been nice if you could just click on the database once you watched a video and watch things in sequential order instead of finding a website online that helps you with that.
Clicking everytime on the keyword search was not pleasant no command+a to type again. Fun concept but needed more. Not very rewarding at all once you spent all that time watching the videos.
Basically instead of just watching all the videos in order and figuring things out you have to type a word or phrase and put it together. Cool for about an hour maybe two but after that just repetitive and unpleasant with out makers. There are no clues or anything to help you if you get stuck and can’t find some videos either. It is not like it is practical either that you would have to search like that to watch videos from a database.
I would do a game like this again if they gave you rewards, helped you search other things to solve stuff and made it more interactive then just typing words to find videos in a database. Thankfully it wasn’t too expensive but not worth the time and knowing what I know now I wouldn’t have started the game.

Solved in 5 min
Too easy. My third search and it was solved.
Bof…
Ma compagne et moi avons était déçu. Pas de fin, pas de grande révélation, juste des clips à chercher via des mots clés jusqu’à que tu sois satisfait. Je préfère regarder des vidéos de true crime. Appeler cela un jeu… je dirais plus un jouet.
Not worth the money
Was not what I expected! After it’s solved then what? It’s a waste.
Pseudo-cult entediante.
O “jogo” é 90 minutos de um filme picotado (com interpretação ruim) em trechos de 10 à 30 segundos, que o “jogador” tem que ficar procurando numa engine e assistindo fora de ordem se quiser entender a estória.
Em menos de 10 minutos eu já estava entediado.
Pra disfarçar a chatice do jogo os “fãs” e a “crítica” gostam de dizer que é um jogo único e inovador.
Não, não é inovador. Jogos do mesmo estilo já foram feitos há mais de 20 anos. Alguns exemplos são evidence: the last ritual, phantasmagoria e night trap.
Simplesmente reciclaram algo que não deu certo no passado e vendem como inovação. Porque se não fizer parecer algo intelectual ninguém vai pagar por um vídeo picotado que pode ser assistido na ordem certa no yt.

No ending
As others have said, there is no real ending. I wish I read the reviews before spending money but I didn’t want to come across spoilers. This could’ve been really cool but there is no closure. In the end, you’ve watched a bunch of videos and come up with an idea of what happened but you don’t get the satisfaction of finding out for sure.

Kinda Disappointing
As a big adventure game fan I was quite looking forward to playing this. I think perhaps this game has been too hyped up. The writing and story are very hacky, and I think people must have just been so dazzled by the presentation and nonlinear unfolding that they assumed the writing was good? It’s not, it’s very soap opera-y and has nothing much to say about the themes it tries to evoke. The character at one point says “aren’t these all just stories anyways?” which I think we’re meant to consider some kind of profound thesis statement for the game? All well and good, but the game isn’t terribly interested in exploring why people lie to each other and themselves beyond a sutface level “idk this chick’s crazy lol.” Disappointing! Runs great and the search function was a fun hook. Sadly loses its luster when it becomes clear your interpretation/understanding of the footage do not factor into any mechanical aspect.

Not even worth a penny
This game was presented as one of the best games for iOs and it had to be baught. So thought: Why not? I bought the game and I was completly disappointed. This game is so unnatural and feels like a game within a game, like those mini games you could play in gta san andreas while beeing in CJ's home. I cannot recommend this game at all.

Melhor de todos!
Um dos meus jogos preferidos da vida! É impossível não ficar absolutamente preso na história. Perfeito, nunca encontrei outro no mesmo nível (inclusive aceito recomendações se alguém tiver kkkk)
Fun detective game
This game consists of watching old police videos and searching database by keywords to find clues. Easy and enjoyable. Try to figure out who did it and what the real story is.
Totally enjoyable
I came to this after finding ‘Telling lies’ an excellent game building on this one. I enjoyed it and quickly over a few days covered all of the storyline. I have to say that I can back to reviews to check if I was missing any further info/clips but feel reassured now I got the story straight. I feel that the other game built on this. Personally I had everything on subtitle and didnt know there was music so lol! Perhaps it helped as her acting seemed fine to me for the character

A Masterpiece!!
There is just one word to describe the creativity of developer - Genius. Way in which Her story unravels is fascinating. Doesn’t matter if you uncover it earlier who the killer is and then try to understand by going backwards or understanding the setup from beginning. It will keep you hooked till the end. Enjoyed living the life of a detective in this simulated world.
Kudos to the dev for raising the bar of adventure/thriller game and yet to have a competitor even after 6 years!

Awful glitch
Maybe I did something wrong but how the game works is you write something and it will show you the first videos first. Too bad there’s a collection of video’s near the end where they all say yes but they won’t show since it shows the first and too bad there is literally no other word in that sentence. But that’s all they say so literally no matter what you do, you will never win. I think this a glitch only on mobile since writing “yes” doe’s nothing on mobile. I wasted 4 hours on a game you can’t even @00%

日本語ばんはパソコンのほうで
まだプレイ途中ですがとても面白いです。
6年前のゲームですが今遊んでも新鮮さを感じる唯一無二のゲームだと思います。
それだけにiOSばんは日本語訳未対応なのが残念でたまりません。
知らずにダウンロードして落ち込みました笑
ただ言語の壁があっても伝わってくるこのゲームの魅力に、翻訳サイトにお世話になりつつ夢中でプレイしています。
内容は「女性の身に何があったのか800以上あるビデオクリップを見て推察するゲーム」だけど、言葉じゃこの面白さは伝わらないと思う。
考察するのが好きな人におすすめのゲームです。
日本人のかたへ、遊ぶならぜひ日本語に対応しているSteamのパソコンばんを。
制作スタッフのかたへ。
I hope there will be a iOS version with Japanese translation!

Unplayable on iPad Pro using Smart Keyboard folio
Bought this game about 3 years ago and still waiting for support for proper landscape orientation - listed on the official website as a “known issue” and “a fix is in progress” for the last 3 years. The app version history shows the last update was 6 years ago. Can we please get a fix for this or can I please get my money back?

Absolutely brilliant
Loved this very different and engrossing game
Best 1.5 hours!
Addictive, enthralling, well written and highly recommended for true crime/ psychological thriller fans!
