There’s plenty of ads going back and forth from messages, email and calls ### 3/5 — Good story, too many adverts *2026-08-18, version 2.22.2* Great story, I was very much gripped and I found it to be very immersive. The downfall was the amount of adverts I had to watch to get coins to progress. ### 2/5 — Ehhh.. Good? *2026-08-18, version 2.22.2* You either need to spend a ton of money to advance through the story or wait a full 7 days for it to reload and advance on its own. It can get very tedious to constantly have to either buy coins, keys etc or wait it out for 2 days. I ended up finding spoilers online after waiting 6 days to advance to episode 3. 🫠 ### 2/5 — Eh *2026-08-15, version 2.22.2* Wish i could do more than just wait for minutes to get new notifications ### 3/5 — Too slow and not interactive enough *2026-08-15, version 2.22.2* The concept of this game is good but the actual execution isn’t great. The videos, photos etc are all a really nice touch but I wish it had more of an investigation feeling rather than just feeling like you’re monitoring someone’s phone. ### 3/5 — Fun but cost too much including extras *2026-08-10, version 2.2.12* Fun game and gets your brain going but you have to pay ‘coins’ to unlock SO MUCH and the max (with ads) you can get a day are 190 and thats just not enough ### 4/5 — Cool game *2026-08-08, version 2.2.12* Dif than all others, but have to use coins when u only have limited amount to be ble to see all the stuff ### 2/5 — Great idea terrible execution *2026-08-07, version 2.2.12* Not enough actually happens. I thought it would be more interactive, or at least give you a section to take notes in, answer some questions, at least have you guess the killer!! But nope, literally all this felt like was paying to read a book. Pretty lame. It prays on you being impatient with the wait times, and then the majority of the texts they give you are so dumb and repetitive. I finished it, but halfway through just wanted to google the ending. This could’ve been done way better. Some inconsistencies with character descriptions in “news articles” and texts where people’s names completely change and leave you confused. It honestly makes me want to make my own version of this game because this idea was sooo cool, but not worth the money it wants you to spend. ### 4/5 — Great Game *2026-08-04, version 2.2.12* Greta game and so real. But, the lack of coins and not being able to progress is so frustrating. ### 3/5 — Ads *2026-08-02, version 2.2.12* Do the web pages in the game have ads? One of the article links was overtaken by an alert about a Trojan horse- a bit concerning and makes me hesitant to continue playing the game ### 4/5 — game *2026-07-31, version 2.2.12* this is a very creative and amazing game. It’s in real time which makes it seem way more realistic. It’s very thought out. It’s honestly an amazing game. The only downside I would say is that you have to earn the coins to unlock specific messages, pictures and emails which sucks because you have to wait to get them I love this game. The only thing I would change about it is take out the having to earn coins to read the messages. ### 2/5 — Still a bit Buggy *2026-07-30, version 2.2.12* I was a fan of the concept when they first came out. I liked the idea of a mystery spread out over a few days. Then came the paywalls. While you could still enjoy the story, made it harder to play detective. They went silent for a while on their page and I’m sad to see that all they post are videos of AI garbage advertising their games, which I also imagine also now carries over to the app. ### 3/5 — Interesting to say the least *2026-07-28* I am currently playing and while the concept of the game is intriguing with the text and phone alerts, it falls into the same cycle of having to exert resources just to move the game forward. I understand why developers do this, but it really does nothing when we have to wait to acquire resources. And nobody isbtrallly interested in spending or subscribing for coins that we have to use any way. What is the point of using game coins to fast forward time until the next message or to unlock email, phone, or text communications (especially for the first case if there are plans to be more), i only to be teased or rewarded with a fraction of the coins spent that allows us to do nothing. It would have been better to give the “detectives” a few available case to (one or two free cases to assess whether or not we would be interested in those next steps) and another one if consumer buy in is evident if your goal was to have us pay to pay to help with the infrastructure of this app. ### 5/5 — U good *2026-07-26, version 2.2.12* I was play and then it asked me if I was gay ### 4/5 — Amazing, but *2026-07-26, version 2.2.12* Amazing just wish they would give out more coins or lower the coin amount! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App tracking *2026-08-21, version 2.22.2* It wouldn’t let you choose not to let other apps not track you. ### 1/5 — Not good anymore *2026-08-13, version 2.2.12* It was brilliant when it was Unrd and you could get a subscription for keys but then they stopped adding and updating stories and changed it all completely ### 1/5 — Your first requirement to join- give them your personal data to market to u?!! *2026-08-06, version 2.2.12* This should never be allowed please don’t allow them to track u across other sites and apps this data is sold to third parties who sell it to police ### 1/5 — Review *2026-07-31, version 2.2.12* It’s great but time consuming, play it, very good😹 ### 1/5 — Ehhh *2026-07-26, version 2.2.12* I can you do this game with so much hope, but now I regret my time spent 😭 it requires keys you have to pay for to unlock messages and often having to wait 1-8 hours for a new message and it SUCKS. I wish this game was more features, more storyline and didn’t make you wait. You’re literally just better off waiting 7 days but OH WAIT. You have to pay coins to even go to the next day and you get zero helpful or interesting info after day 2. Day 7 was when anything got revealed and it was just lame. I would recommend making more investigating features, be able to look at their socials and messages. Have more in their photos, emails and messages too. I’ve moved on to Cold Trace and it’s soooo much better! ### 1/5 — i don't get it *2026-07-26, version 2.2.12* i don't get it ### 1/5 — PAYWALLS AND CLICKBAIT *2026-07-25, version 2.2.12* It forces you to take 8 days to do this IN REAL TIME unless you pay $100. ### 1/5 — SCAM *2026-07-20, version 2.2.12* I AM SO DISAPPOINTED! I didn‘t do anything but reading and waiting No mystery solving on m side! Ok the story itself was cool But what the hell was i supposed to do with it? No part as choosing suspects of anyyyything I was hoping till the last moment to do sth ### 1/5 — Ads got crazy all of the sudden *2026-06-06, version 2.2.12* I’m already watching ads for coins but now ads come up like ever 2 minutes. I can’t do anything. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-06-06, version 2.2.12* Don’t have enough things to unlock ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Off *2026-08-18* Needs to be free ### 5/5 — So fun love it *2026-08-12, version 2.2.12* I absolutely love this game and waiting to play this for a long time. It’s so fun but I just wish you would give me more clues. Don’t get me wrong. It gives me a lot of clues, but I need a little help and I wish I had a little more tokens because I wasted them in. I absolutely love this game but back to what I was saying joking me wrong. I did waste them so it is my fault but I really wanna see what Alex said I’m talking about I’m only a chapter 1. I bought this game like did I say bye I mean I got this game at like 4 o’clock and it’s 653. I’ve been playing it ever since it’s absolutely addicting and it’s a great game to play if you like true crime thank you so much for reading it and I’ll definitely get this game bye. ### 5/5 — Had me hooked for days *2026-08-11, version 2.2.12* Loved this app! I wish we could vote or have a little more an interactive experience but it was fun and I enjoyed the chat feature as well. ### 5/5 — So fun *2026-08-11, version 2.2.12* This is such a fun and engaging app!! The story is gripping and it’s so easy to get coins and rewards just by watching ads. You don’t really need them to unlock the entire story but it definitely makes it more fun and interactive. I’ve been having so much fun putting everything together and chatting with people. Would love if we could vote on who we think it is! ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-08-09, version 2.2.12* That first story was insane. Everyone go play this right now ### 5/5 — Amy morris case *2026-08-07, version 2.2.12* The Amy morris case was insane I didn’t see that coming at all it was a great one to start with ### 5/5 — yay *2026-08-04, version 2.2.12* Such an interesting game! Very good for your brain lol! ### 5/5 — Ok *2026-08-03, version 2.2.12* Pretty good ### 5/5 — I’m *2026-08-01, version 2.2.12* Love ### 5/5 — Addictive *2026-08-01, version 2.2.12* I’m very much addicted to this game, stayed up til 3am reading emails and writing down names. I love it, trying to convince my friends to play with me! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
