### 5/5 — played it for years!

*2025-04-20, version 1.7*

everytime I replay this game I always love it. I know at the beginning when the game came out it was a tad glitchy, but it’s an amazing game. With SUCH a unique play style!! love it!!

### 1/5 — BAD ENT

*2025-03-23, version 1.7*

Do not download this unless you plan on being a public figure on television. Avoid at all costs.

### 1/5 — No va!

*2025-01-02*

Según entramos en la pantalla de inicio con el móvil, se queda conectando.Tiene muy buena pinta pero de debería arreglar.

### 1/5 — AVOID THE GAME

*2024-12-25, version 1.7*

We tired it multiple times and after a bit it did not come out my ps4

### 1/5 — No funciona

*2024-06-22*

Si tienes Iphone olvídate de poder jugar a este juego.

### 5/5 — App works on iOS, played full game on PS5

*2024-04-11, version 1.7*

You MUST use the app to play the game. You cannot use controllers. If you’re doing multiplayer, everyone needs the app to participate. Google Play Store wouldn’t allow us to download the app on a Pixel 7, so if you have a newer Android device, you’re out of luck unless you know a workaround. Worked for everyone using on an iPhone or an iPad.

### 1/5 — Unplayable. App doesn’t work

*2024-03-22, version 1.7*

Cannot connect on any new devices. 
Logged into an old iPhone and Still can’t play the game. 
At the points when you’re supposed to make a selection or move the cursor there’s no response on the screen and a generic message as if waiting to connect etc. 
‘Please wait’ etc. 
useless. 
Waste of money buying a game that requires an app .. that doesn’t work!!

### 1/5 — Очень скучно и затянуто

*2024-03-11*

Не рекомендую, после игры как выжитый лимон. Одна игра идет 3 часа.

### 1/5 — Terrible cursor

*2023-09-23*

The game made me so stressed out. You can barely move the pointer at quick time events (QTEs) when you’re required to use your finger on the phone screen. Then this wastes two hours of the game and hard work for nothing when you aren’t given the chances to explore different endings because of the faulty pointer that is barely fast. Restarting the whole game from the beginning is the only way to undo your “mistakes” from QTEs without being able to go back to the previous scene which is really unfair. This game is for PlayStation so a real controller should be used for QTEs instead of a phone screen. A phone screen as a controller is absolutely ridiculous and silly.

### 4/5 — So far so good

*2023-08-21, version 1.7*

I believe if you play at night you will have a better experience, it doesn’t lag is simple and interesting
