Way too much jargon and backstory which you will not understand since it’s $50!!! To unlock the full experience. $50? Are you serious? Or you’re forced to watch ads. The jump from 1 star to unlock the next part to 6?? This is a game called “Dots” (look it up) with a bit of annoying character dialogue. I wasted two hours. Don’t make the same mistake as me. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-05-21, version 1.14.2* It is a very good interactive horror story experience ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2026-04-17, version 1.14.2* I liked that game memento or whatever it is, but at a certain point it got so after every level that was almost impossible to beat you needed 2 stars. It was a thing. Anyways. I wanted a game like it that was actually beatable. So i found this one. Its creepy. I love it so far. ### 5/5 — Interesting *2026-04-02, version 1.14.2* It’s an interesting concept but it seems to be getting good. Liking the story so far! ### 2/5 — Beware of purposeful game glitches through game play seizure inducing*** *2026-03-23, version 1.14.2* This game “would be” great fun for a multiple choice game! However, the glitches can throw you off, I don’t suffer from seizures but I felt like I was about to have one with the constant glitching through game play messages. Fully NOT needed to play the game so that should have been edited out altogether in the game making . It seriously hurts my eyes! Had to look away every time! Terrible choice! The mini games truly suck too! With that being said… I give this game a not so big 2 out of 5 stars for sucking the fun out of it with the mini games, and horrible on purpose glitching of the messages..You almost had it! Sorry, But No… 😕 ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-03-23, version 1.14.2* It’s probably my favorite game of this genre. I play as much as I can. ### 4/5 — Orphans *2026-03-23, version 1.14.2* Absolutely loving it ### 5/5 — It’s cool *2026-03-19, version 1.14.2* cool app, story is pretty interesting along side the group chat thing, the minigame could be frustrating if your not patient but apart from that this is a great game. ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2026-03-15, version 1.14.2* Needs help with the translations. The lack of slang and natural cadence takes you out of the story. Points for video audio and story ### 5/5 — Jenbgood *2026-03-05, version 1.14.2* Just started getting into these types of games. They’re fun ### 5/5 — So far so good *2026-02-17, version 1.14.2* The game has a good story, and gives lots of little surprises. Looking forward to continuing. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-02-14, version 1.14.2* A thrilling game ### 4/5 — DINOSAUR! *2026-01-28, version 1.14.2* Rawr. Good game. Rawr 🦕🦕🦕🦕🦖🦖🦖🦖 ### 4/5 — Love It! *2026-01-05, version 1.14.2* Great game. Great for passing the time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work *2026-05-12, version 1.14.2* Was excited to play nut doesn’t get you past the first five min ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-04-16, version 1.14.2* Just stuck at the chat where she says she just found a photo on the floor. Nothing works ### 1/5 — No support *2026-04-14, version 1.14.2* I love the game and all of their other games but bought the premium monthly service for $12.99/month and have not gotten any benefit. I have emailed the company and complained to Apple several times With no response. It’s a shame too because I love all of their games and have sent them dozens of customers but this has really ruined the experience for me ### 1/5 — Not worth the effort *2026-04-11, version 1.14.2* It’s possibly the worst game I’ve ever played. Wanted to test it to see if it was worth paying $40. After buying “Bics” couldn’t move forward in the game pass my chat with Mika telling me to look at a video. I couldn’t even reach out to support due to unsecured server. Don’t waste your time or money!! ### 1/5 — Blah *2025-10-10, version 1.14.2* All it is is reading texts. It’s so slow and just all around not fun or even interesting. The mini games are all the same dot game and it’s just ridiculous. Deleting. ### 1/5 — Boring *2025-09-03* The idea of interacting with the narrative via a group chat was at first novel and interesting, but after a while I kept expecting the actual gameplay to start, but it never did; just more of an inane and repetitive fictional “group chat”. ### 1/5 — Was fun until the pay wall *2025-07-19, version 1.13.5* Unless you’re willing to pay, you’ll end up playing the mini-games more than the actual game itself. They are required for the progression of the story but are impossible without a mixture of luck, watching ads, and extensive amount of time given. I don’t mind if the developing team wants to make money off of this, but I wish they provided a more realistic “free version” or just let people know outright that they will need to pay. At first I was having fun and enjoying the game, then it simply became frustrating and felt like a waste of time (because I tried repeatedly to beat the minigames). I’m going to delete the app now, but if you are willing to pay, I think you will really enjoy the story! ### 1/5 — takes forever *2025-05-21, version 1.13.5* the story takes a forever to get to the point and everyone texts in these annoying half sentences. one of the guys said horror is “a mans thing” and that seemed sexist to me. want to be able to be friends with leon. he’s the only normal one. sick of the pointless conversations, and you can only chose agreeable or corny dialogue options unless you pay 12 dollars. i couldn’t even be bothered to make it through the full game, but i couldn’t even tell that no matter what gender options i chose, it would force me to be attracted to mikka, and i dont like mikka. ### 1/5 — Flat rates never work. *2025-05-13, version 1.13.5* Second game I’ve purchased flat rate and not got what I purchased. Cant even contact you as it says site not secure. ### 1/5 — Paid for flat rate but not reflecting in game *2025-03-21, version 1.13.5* I paid for the flat rate in the game to bypass the mini games but it’s not reflecting in the game. Yet my card was still charged ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Orphans *2026-09-02, version 1.14.2* Best game I’ve played in years. I was actually sad when I finished it. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-23, version 1.14.2* I’ve played all their games and loved them all. Each new game is an improvement over the earlier ones. ### 5/5 — Realistic *2026-07-14, version 1.14.2* First one of these I’ve tried… ### 5/5 — Supernatural *2026-06-30, version 1.14.2* Check it out its fun ### 5/5 — جميله ومشوقه *2026-06-24, version 1.14.2* Cool ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-06-22, version 1.14.2* Funnn ### 5/5 — Thrilling! *2026-06-21, version 1.14.2* Really fun game. The interaction is what makes is so good. This is the second game that I’ve played and it doesn’t disappoint! ### 5/5 — Best mobile game ever *2026-06-15* I’m fussy with games. It’s rare that I’ll play a game on my phone as none hold my attention. However this game is truly addictive and so well made. I love that the game will change based on the relationships you build with the characters involved. Your responses determine how the game plays out and I find that so engaging!! If you’re looking for a great horror game to play I strongly suggest this one!! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-06-14, version 1.14.2* I got the author's chat after I tried leaving the group! I have played The Sign so I became familiar with Daniel, Tim and Carsten. Thanks for bringing some of the characters I love back. Would be awesome if the games recognized save data on the device so we could have familiar chats instead of being strangers again. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-10, version 1.14.2* Great storyline --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
