Story, narrative, artwork, VO: all stellar. The UX in the new controls leave a lot to be desired. Hitting “skip” during dialog will skip an entire conversation, not just the segment of text onscreen. The action buttons feel like they have a mind of their own sometimes, seemingly deselecting or double-tapping at random. The game also hasn’t been updated in YEARS, so any future support to address these issues is unlikely. That said, if you’re interested in the experience being portable and playable, you can’t go wrong at $4… as long as you keep the classic control scheme. ### 3/5 — Bugs *2025-02-15* Game is amazing and I love it, but when I play it for too long it crashes and doesn’t let me play again ### 4/5 — Sound Issues? *2025-01-15* I got this game a while ago, and I absolutely love it! The problem is, after a few weeks of not playing, the sound disappeared? Ive uninstalled and reinstalled a few times and checked my settings but it wont come back. All I want to hear is AM’s sultry voice. Overall, the game’s awesome, the sound thing is the only problem. But, if you don’t mind silence when playing, it’s definitely worth it. ### 5/5 — 👍🏻 *2024-11-08, version 1.02* I listened to the BBC radio drama and really enjoyed it, decided to get the game. It’s good and emulated really well, easy to understand the controls and whatnot too. ### 4/5 — Peak *2024-09-19* Audio oddly doesn’t work unless my phone is connected to an output device (headphones, speakers, literally anything). Might just be my phone that’s the problem though ### 5/5 — amazing game *2024-09-05* so goooooddd please just make it free cause it was to hard on my bank account ### 5/5 — Gioco fantastico! *2024-07-26, version 1.02* Ho letto la storia di Harlan Ellison e me ne sono innamorata! subito dopo ho sentito del videogioco e mi è piaciuto moltissimo; la storia, le voci dei personaggi e i diversi finali fanno per un gioco che ti attacca nel profondo, ma che insegna anche morali importanti. Nonostante sia stato fatto nel 1995, penso che ci tornerò sempre ogni tanto. ### 5/5 — Semplicemente un Gioco Magnifico *2024-07-24, version 1.02* Inquietante e Interessante allo stesso tempo (ho Adorato anche come Avete Adattato i Comandi punta e Clicca). ### 5/5 — honestly incredible. *2024-07-14* a lot of the other reviews say that the “characters glitch out”, and “it’s not worth your money” however as long as you have a decently working phone it’ll be fine. my game works just fine on my iphone11, which the storage is nearly full on (lol), so as long as your phone/tablet works then you’ll be okay. this game is one of the most beautifully pieces of literature ever created. the characters have so much depth in their story and are so well written, it’s amazing. the game is so unique and if you’re like me, someone who likes weird and creepy games with that vintage feel to it, then you’ll LOVE it. i’ve been obsessed with the game ever since i got it. honestly you’d catch me playing that 24/7 if i had more free time. although i would suggest watching a play through on youtube for some parts that can be confusing, it’s still a really good playable game. there’s so many unique puzzles and obstacles that it’s just so addicting to play. so yes, i would 100% recommend the game. honestly worth the money and absolutely breathtaking. ### 5/5 — I want AMs robot vagina *2024-07-09* yeah ### 5/5 — Gorristussy🤤 *2024-07-06* I want Gorrister's man vagina ### 5/5 — Fans of the short story will enjoy it *2024-06-28* game was released in 1995 and still holds up today ### 5/5 — Meraviglio gioco, non perfetto il porting *2024-06-27, version 1.02* Il gioco è davvero bello e lo sto apprezzando molto. Non è un gioco moderno né nello stile né nel gameplay, ma chi ama questo genere lo apprezzerà sicuramente. Il porting, secondo me, non è perfetto; su iPhone 13 a volte non si ha la certezza se l’azione non è andata a buon fine perché non si è interagito nel modo giusto oppure perché il sistema ha interpretato una tipologia diversa da quella selezionata. Per tutto il resto, è davvero un bel gioco. Chi desidera giocare a un titolo di questo stile, simile a Monkey Island ma con tematiche non comiche, lo consiglio assolutamente. ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-06-16* One of the best games ever made. Controls were easy to use and game was quick+fun (if you know what you’re doing). Buy this is you want to spend the best 5$ ever. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Needs a update. it won’t let me progress *2026-06-05* The game started fine (although a bit buggy) but it started kicking me out of the app and whenever i try to open it again. A few seconds it happens again ### 1/5 — practically unplayable *2026-04-05* this game is unbelievably frustrating. if you don’t do everything in the exact correct sequence, it won’t trigger events or dialogue options that you need to proceed. this leaves you completely stuck with no recourse. this would be less annoying if you could load from a previous save file but whenever i try to load from anything besides the autosave file, it says the game was saved in a different language (?!?!) and restarts at the beginning. it’s a huge bummer bc the story is so interesting and i love point and click games, but after replaying the same section literally about a dozen times without being able to proceed, i’m done trying to get it to work. ### 1/5 — UNPLAYABLE *2025-01-06, version 1.02* Crashes immediately when you save ### 1/5 — Sound not working *2024-05-29, version 1.02* Can’t get the sound to work no matter what I do ### 1/5 — Sound *2024-05-23* Is anyone else having issues with the sound can you help me ### 1/5 — What the sigma *2024-05-17, version 1.02* No sound? ### 1/5 — So glitchy I can’t play it! *2022-10-17* I wouldn’t recommend buying this as I can’t pass a single level without a character getting stuck without moving on a screen. Or flying in the air to the point of no return. ### 1/5 — Deaf? *2019-05-16, version 1.02* I bought the game and there is no sound:( ### 1/5 — Can’t save or load without the game crashing *2019-01-15, version 1.02* Very disappointed ### 1/5 — Verarschung *2018-12-08* Bei dem Spiel fehlt ein Charakter, nämlich Nimdok! Von daher ist das nur noch Abzocke. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — GREAT GAME 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND *2026-04-24* This game is fantastic I love the quotes so much the game play is slow but the game is amazing ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS *2026-04-18* amazing amazing amazing i really like AM i love AM i really really really like AM ### 5/5 — Unforgettable (positive) *2026-01-16* lots of people complain about the graphics. that’s missing the point. The slightly dated, uncanny visuals add to the discomfort and atmosphere, it wouldn’t work the same way if it looked modern or polished. I’ve noticed a few bugs in the mobile version, but they don’t really affect the gameplay. The writing is incredible, and AM is one of the most disturbing antagonists ever put into a game. If you’re a fan of the short story book, this is an absolute must-play. It expands on the story in a way that feels faithful and genuinely unsettling. ### 5/5 — NOT COMPLAINING *2026-01-09* It’s the game duhh and for 3,99€ HELL YEAH ### 5/5 — IHNMAIMS *2025-10-26* This game is definitely one of my favorites. I highly recommend it to people who have a good amount of patience. ### 5/5 — A couple glitches but great *2025-08-31* The game is as engaging and fun as remembered. Definitely a great adaptation of the original book. There has been a few glitches that tried soft locking me along the way but these were all known glitches that were easy fixes or required me to restart the scenario but good nontheless! ### 5/5 — love. let me tell you how much i’ve come to love this game *2025-01-28* awesome game, i do get soft locked occasionally but it’s usually not a problem as i can fix it pretty easily. 100% worth the money!! ### 5/5 — I jerked it *2025-01-05, version 1.02* 🪳YAYYYYYYYYYYY ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2024-12-25* After reading the book. And other media. I love this game ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2024-12-09, version 1.02* I need to kiss AM on the mouth --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
