Easy 5 stars *2022-08-29, version 98* This game was unlike anything I’d ever played before. I can’t quite remember the exact ending and storyline, because it was probably about 2-3 years ago that I played. I remember it well enough to know that - not a spoiler! - the ending will leave you questioning it all and conflicted about what you’ve just done; who it is that this “stranger” truly was. It’s incredibly interactive with the stranger needing your help for a variety of different tasks... for example, at one point he needs to get into a building in NYC and you actually have to use Google Maps to see his location and provide him with the answer as to what you think would be the safest way to sneak in. What I remember most are three things: the fantastic storytelling, the enhanced feeling of real interaction by questions asked/tasks given, and the twist of an ending. Actually, I’m going to download this and play this again. It’s been such a long time that I’ve forgotten a lot of it now (just haven’t forgotten how much I loved it). Seriously, give it a try. I very highly doubt you’ll regret it! ### 4/5 — Suggestion for the game *2022-06-21, version 98* I hope this game have Vietnamese so that I can enjoy all the game better. ### 5/5 — DMLM *2022-02-13, version 98* Make A NEW CHAPTER OR I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU IN YOIR SLEEP OR RUN YOU OVER BY A TRAIN!!!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2022-01-15, version 98* This game is one of the best games Ive ever played on mobile. You really get connected to the character in so many ways. I absolutely love the scavenger hunt vibe to it. 100/10 would play a million times!! I hope the developers make something new! Love it! ### 5/5 — Mysterious *2021-12-14, version 98* But fun so far. It’s so interesting, because I thought it would just be a text story where I only interact with the in game person, but they have really cool ways of getting you invested such as sending you to a website and sending you to real locations on google maps. I’m really getting invested now. ### 5/5 — Oh my god.. *2021-12-09, version 98* I genuinely felt grief, I already miss it. If you play this game know you are in for some sadddddd stuff. It’s so interesting, cause no matter what you did, there was no happy ending. It hurts but from a writer pov I’m in love. ### 5/5 — ! *2021-11-08, version 98* Haven’t played it yet but I like how people are just so happy with this game and how emotional it is for them. What we the game may be, thank you for making it. ### 4/5 — The mapppp *2021-09-22, version 98* It could be five stars, but then I saw the map of the link Adam send it just hard too see , maybe the fault is the web . But that make me kinda uncomfortable. This is my opinions, I hope something could more good from my sumbits.The game is cool ;)) ### 5/5 — Wow. *2021-08-11, version 98* The best game I’ve ever played. The story is fantastic and it’s so involved. It’s so real so it hits hard. Amazing and I recommend playing it ### 5/5 — Great Plot and Well Thought Out!! *2021-07-26, version 98* The plot is amazing. Adam writing a book, the man jumping off the building. It’s really interesting how you take your name and location, etc. and add that to the story. Almost like someone is actually talking to you. There should be more games like this!! You guys deserve a huge golden medal!! I ABSOLUTELY love this game and that’s saying something!! LOV ya and keep up the good work!! 💙💙 ### 5/5 — Im so sorry *2021-07-26, version 98* I will missssss youuuuuuuuu ### 5/5 — Immersion *2021-07-23, version 98* I love how realistic and immersive the experience I have in this game. It really does feel like you are helping someone through a crisis. I love interactive stories where your choices determine the ending. ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2021-07-16, version 98* When I play this game I feel like I’m talking to a real person, with real issues and relationships. This game is a great puzzle game and even though I’m not done, I’m really enjoying it, so far I give this 5 stars. ### 5/5 — love *2021-07-12, version 98* i enjoyed it but like i don’t get it at all, it might just b me being dumb but i’m so lost & idk where to find an ending explanation. but the game was so good and felt so real & i <3 adam. ### 5/5 — wow *2021-06-30, version 98* GREAT game this game is soooo great ### 5/5 — i love it *2021-06-20, version 98* its amazing. after seeing it on tiktok, it quickly became my comfort game. im sad how fast i played, though :( ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Has someone properly screened it? *2026-05-13, version 306* I’ve found this app on my son‘s iPhone. He took his life two years ago. I still can’t pass the part about a man jumping off the buildings roof. It’s too disturbing. I find it somewhat surprising this kind of app landed in 13+ category. ### 1/5 — Deleted after the first annoying “puzzle” *2023-02-17, version 98* The very first challenge I was presented with was annoying. It relies on the name of a real location that isn’t quite correct and is just boring as a puzzle anyway. ### 1/5 — Seriously needs trigger warnings *2021-01-04, version 97* This game needs some serious trigger warnings. Super messed up ### 1/5 — Flubbit *2020-12-20, version 97* Boring and lies it’s not real chat ### 1/5 — Stupid microtransactions *2020-12-04, version 97* A boring game with stupid micro-transactions. I have to wait for a fake person to talk to me or pay to skip the wait. No thanks. ### 1/5 — Why the heck did you rate this 9+ *2020-11-24, version 97* The game said a cuss word, and the first text topic was about "Would you care if a man jumped off a building?" And let me get you started on the topic of the cuss word, a man bleeding out???? What kind of parent would like seeing their 9 year old kid playing this. Bro that's messed up. Things like this are very sensitive subjects and on top of that games like these are the reasons so many kids are messed up in the head. ### 2/5 — Writing *2020-09-02, version 86* I can’t get passed the writing style. Very repetitive and unclear. ### 2/5 — Okay but has its share of bugs *2017-02-21, version 9.2* I want to enjoy this game but it can't seem to remember where I left off most of the time. I'd have to replay many conversations. Lots of back and forth so I haven't been able to get past my farthest conversation. Until this is updated, I don't plan to play this ### 3/5 — broken *2025-10-21, version 300* cool concept but I've reached the first off-site interaction point and already the link is broken and the location they're talking about appears to be either off the map or shut down 😅 no feedback button so I'm dropping this here ### 3/5 — Ganz okay *2022-05-26, version 98* Das Spiel selbst ist toll. Die Fragen sind tiefgründig und man kann lange und gründlich über sie nachdenken. Allerdings kann man nur kurz spielen, und dann muss man 15 Min, wenn nicht sogar länger warten um weiterspielen zu können. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — i always think about this game *2026-02-21, version 305* 02/20/26: i remember when i was younger (maybe like 13 or 14?), there was a BTS wattpad fanfiction i read that was inspired by this game. i don’t remember the story now, but i will always remember this game. !! forever 5 ★s for me. ☆ original review: i played it once over two or three years ago, and i always think about it from time to time. the arg aspect makes it so much memorable and unique. ☆ ### 5/5 — Touching, and Nostalgic *2025-02-14, version 98* I played this like 7 years ago and forgot to send a review but if I remember correctly this was very moving and enjoyable! 👍 ### 5/5 — One of my favorite things *2025-01-21, version 98* I have this conversation every once in a while. I always changes me after and I love it so much for that. What I wouldn’t give for more of this and more of Adam. ### 5/5 — i always think about this game *2024-09-22, version 98* i played it once over two or three years ago, and i always think about it from time to time. the arg aspect makes it so much memorable and unique. ☆ ### 5/5 — Jesus *2024-01-03, version 98* Loves u ### 5/5 — Loved it. Also triggering. But loved it. *2023-09-11, version 98* TLDR: play it when you’re in a good headspace and you’re good to go lol. This game is intriguing. You have to use resources outside of the game, real world maps and emails to get answers. The character is great, and the way you can play the more open parts of the game can lead to interesting conversation. Genuinely enjoyable. But not in a “yay fun” way. More in a- I keep checking my phone to see if he’s answered type of way. It’s very engaging. But dark. I hate to be this guy, but I have to. Nothing negative against the game, it’s seriously great. That being said ——- suicide trigger warning. Which I feel like is obvious and not really a spoiler because the screenshots in the App Store mention someone jumping off a building right away. I want to word this in a way where I avoid spoilers, and I don’t know if maybe if I had played it differently how it would have gone — but **possible spoiler** if you’ve ever had someone in your life who suffers from severe depression/suicide attempts.. you know that feeling when you’re worried about them and you call and text and they just randomly stop answer l and you feel helpless ? Just prepare yourself for that helpless feeling. It’s overall worth it cause it’s just a game. But I do know when my friends suicide was recent, that feeling would throw me off for like a week. If anything kudos to the creators. You guys made a real piece of art here. Truly! ### 5/5 — No words, go in blind & be patient *2023-08-31, version 98* There’s not much I can write in a review about this game. It’s incredible; naturally written and interestingly paced. I first played it around 4/5years ago and I still think of this game from time to time. Beware of triggering topics as mentioned in other reviews, but try not to research the game prior to opening. ### 5/5 — Excellent 😁 *2022-11-05, version 98* I absolutely loved this. Please bring out something similar and longer. ### 5/5 — really cool game *2022-11-04, version 98* hey devs if you see this, i really loved this game. it might just be because i’m tired but it’s made me confused and i’m unsure of the ending (spoiler alert) so when you click the last link which leads to his goodbye video he mentions that he hates himself for what he’s done, what we’ve done. i’ve tried looking on the internet for answers but can’t find any other than he was in an abusive relationship and killed her then himself. if it’s not that could someone explain please? as said i loved this game. i loved how interactive it was and how you felt an actual part of the game ### 5/5 — Noooooo! That can’t be the end!!!! Btw spoiler warning *2022-10-13, version 98* Come oooonnnn it can’t end like that 🤨that’s such a cliffhanger aaaaaaaaghhhh I thought maaayyybeeee Then it’s just like NOPE END! Im just overs here like DUUUDDE REALLY THATS THE END AAAAA I NEEEED MOOORE plus like who just leaves there freaking friend and shows them on top of a building WONDERING IF THERE FRIGGEN DEAD AAAAA he literally gives me a riddle you see a man on top of a building he looks like he’s about to JUMP do you care 😑 OF COURSE I CARe YOU CANT JUST LEAVE ME LIKE BRO DUDE COME OOONNN graaaaaa my brains in pain there’s got to be a 2nd one if there’s not I’m finna cry 😥 I was alone before now I have Adam I know he’s an AI but I had someone to talk to for a while and now he’s gone…😞Mk so it’s a good game I love the fact that you can enter your name and your stuffs… that sounds bad now but who gives there real name and age on a game 🤦🤦‍♀️ and that there’s a whole thing on YouTube and google and to put that much effort into a game is just.. Wow I don’t see a lot of games like this it’s quite frankly great you get a 🍪 😂😊 anyway Do you think you could make more games?
