### 4/5 — Button problem

*2025-02-16*

So far I like the game. However, when I click the button “report anomaly” it often does nothing and won’t let me. Is this a glitch? Im on iPhone 11

### 4/5 — 🫨

*2025-02-12*

I love this game but please, make the "swiping" to be a simple click. And also make the camera changing in a loop. The whole sliding back and forth is a bit irritating. Atleast make the cameras loop back to the first like on pc.

### 4/5 — It’s okay

*2024-09-22, version 1.0*

It’s a really good game but the game quality is blurry, that’s my only complaint. This game rules

### 1/5 — Scary

*2024-09-16, version 1.0*

How to delete

### 3/5 — só 2 mapas

*2024-08-21, version 1.0*

libera os outros pra mobile/iphone por favooor🥺

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-08-09*

Its fun to play. Please add more!!! Please add more i need more!

### 2/5 — Good concept, bad execution

*2024-06-16*

I love the idea, but on the mobile version it is too blurry, can’t see background items or border definitions very well, and I have no idea what I missed as far as abnormalities are concerned. Disappointing, because this looked really fun on the Watcher channel.

### 5/5 — It’s a really good game to play!

*2024-05-12, version 1.0*

It’s a tricky game where you see if any anomaly is there and discover what type it is . It’s like the game ‘Phasmophobia’.

### 1/5 — Low cost = Low quality

*2024-04-13*

For a game that is 99 cents the quality is just as bad as you’d expect. It is a good game for one who uses computers, but it is not something that is best used on mobile. The graphics are not good, very low clarity. Camera functions are very unpleasant to use; a loop for the cameras would be better instead of having to swipe from one end to the other back and forth repeatedly. Best to play on a desktop.

### 1/5 — 1円の価値もない

*2024-03-31*

•iPhone15 Pro Maxを使用しているが、信じられないほど画質が悪い。App Storeのサンプル画像は誇張されており、実際は劣化した品質で詐欺的である。
•カメラ残り換えには画面の端からスワイプする必要があり、とても操作性が悪い。
•カメラ残り換えを一周した後に、最後のカメラから最初のカメラに切り替えできない。逆方向にひとつひとつスワイプする必要があり、とてもストレスがたまる。
