IndieCade 2013 Finalist

A trip to an Other world: Quartic Llama blends gaming and the stage to great effect - Pocket Gamer

5/5 - Brilliant. Totally great experience, really well integrated into the city of Dundee and super engaging!

5/5 - If you are in Dundee and have a iPhone, a love of all things gothic and spooky, and an hour to spare, you simply must download and take the journey. One of the best iPhone experiences I've had.

A location based horror sound game that leads players on a journey through the streets of real life Dundee to discover a fictional, darker side of the city; where the world of Dundee as you know it is subverted and there is the possibility of gothic horror around every corner. Other created by a partnership between Quartic Llama and National Theatre of Scotland and published by Biome Collective.

Follow the instructions and your map, solve the puzzles and collect the stories that take you through Dundee and invite you to experience the city in a completely different way.

### 3/5 — Great, but...

*2015-07-05, version 1.2*

Really enjoyed and part of the game I could play, but the cafe is now Brewdog so I couldn't get past that part. Maybe post the code in the store page?

### 5/5 — Slick and spooky

*2013-08-10, version 1.2*

If you are in Dundee and have a iPhone, a love of all things gothic and spooky, and an hour to spare, you simply must download and take the journey. One of the best iPhone experiences I've had.

### 5/5 — Brilliant.

*2013-08-10, version 1.2*

Totally great experience, really well integrated into the city of Dundee and super engaging!

### 2/5 — iPads too small for everything

*2013-06-06, version 1.1.1*

When I first open it on my iPad, I can't read everything as sentences were too big, can't get it small on my iPad. Am I only one who got that problem?
