### 4/5 — Excellently done. But one less star because I *hate* horror movies.

*2021-04-30*

Script, acting, filming, all is quite top level. 

The interactivity is not really there, just a tap from time to time to make you feel in control. Butvyou're not really. For example in the FMV Erica, you make decisions which really count and change the story.

This is worth five stars but I can not do that for a horror movie.

### 3/5 — Good but...

*2019-05-29*

Entertaining video action movie game, but takes up too many GBs on initial installation, and is very quick to play. These types of video action games are fantastic, but this one seems to require very little skill or problem solving. The theme is also pretty miserable being depressing post apocalyptic, also it is quite creepy and a bit gory, so not good for younger or the squeamish! I like horror and I found this depressing.

### 2/5 — Not for gamers

*2017-08-27, version 1.2*

There's really no getting to this, it's more of just a movie with a little interaction. There's really no alternate endings and any decision you make really have no affect on the story. Actually There not decisions but continue buttons to the next scene disguised as decisions.

Now if you want to watch a halfway decent indie short film then it's OK.

### 3/5 — Amazing but...

*2017-07-09*

This game is brilliant, and such a refreshing change from so many games out there that are basically rubbish.
The whole concept is great, and it's very tense too. Was really enjoying it...until I reached level 4.

I've arthritic fingers and carpal tunnel and you have to tap sooooo fast to progress I've been left in excruciating agony and my arm is so painful I've had to take pain killers. No game should cause one physical harm.
There were so many of these 'fast' tap points that I had to quit the game and will be asking for a refund.

So disappointed - as was thoroughly enjoying it.

Devs please take note! My husband is 70 and I've had to ask for his help, but at this point he can't tap fast enough either!

It's not necessary to have stages where you can't progress unless you're young and/or able to tap super fast. I got passed one bunch without too much trouble, but others take forever and a lot of pain to move on.

Without this I'd have given the game an easy 5*.

### 3/5 — 👅

*2017-05-30, version 1.2*

Takes forever to load but i havent played yet. sounds like a great game!

### 3/5 — Top

*2017-05-21*

Dans la lignée des phantasmagoria pour les plus anciens d'entre nous... mais tout de même très court, sans possibilités d'échecs (pas de game over, simplement un film qui se déroule). 

@ Dream&Magic: pour le partage familial, je comprend la politique pour un jeux de ce type: je n'apprécierais pas que mon fils de 9 ans le télécharge sans avoir à me demander!...

### 4/5 — Excellent game play!

*2017-05-18*

This is my first experience of a game like this and I must say it was a joyful one. Although quite easy and short (2 hours to complete) I would most certainly recommend it. I would probably make it around the £2.99 mark as well.

### 3/5 — Power hungry

*2017-05-15*

It's a great game. I've been waiting for a game like this for iPad. I played a lot of similar games on PC. I hope there are different scenarios though as I finished it in 2 hours. So, £3.99 is a bit steep if there aren't any other ways through the game. It is very power hungry game and takes a lot of space too.

### 4/5 — Weak

*2017-05-14, version 1.2*

Has a lot of potential, but the game was too easy to finish, and too quick for the price you pay

### 5/5 — Loved It

*2017-05-09, version 1.2*

I loved it...it doesn't say anywhere in the description that it's a game people. Yes it's short. Yes, there could be other options to produce other outcomes. That would be cool. But again...I loved it. Worth the 3.99 in my opinion. Well done! 👍🏼👍🏼

### 3/5 — Non capisco

*2017-05-07, version 1.2*

Trama molto avvincente ma finisce troppo presto e non vale il prezzo a questo punto

### 2/5 — Okay Story. Lousy Controls

*2017-05-07, version 1.1*

I found the controls so irritating that it made it difficult to enjoy what could have been a much better game if controls had been better.

### 4/5 — Review

*2017-05-07*

Awesome, great game play!

### 2/5 — Plus un film qu'un jeu

*2017-05-07, version 1.1*

Le scénario est bien, mais franchement il n'y a presque aucun challenge... le jeu est extrêmement linéaire et on ne peut pratiquement jamais se tromper. Beaucoup trop facile. Suffit de cliquer sur quelques boutons pour explorer les quelques pièces et faire une poignée d'actions beaucoup trop évidentes... de plus le jeu est tellement court... 

Bref cinématographiquement c'est intéressant, mais en tant que jeu ça ne vaut pas un clou

### 1/5 — Not really a choice-based game

*2024-10-15, version 1.2*

This is the 10th out of 11 Wales Interactive games I’ve played. They were all fun to play except this one. This isn’t really a choice-based game like the others. 

With the other games, you’re given at least two ways to respond to a situation and you get different outcomes based on your response. With this game, you choose objects to click on and if you pick the wrong one, the character tells you and you just pick another object. Not much choosing here.

The objects you pick are mostly things to read like books, manuscripts, and computer screens. Boring. Other times, after choosing a door to open, you then have to click another dot to turn the door knob. Seriously, how is this choosing?

I played up to the part where my character keeps falling off a ladder with no clear instructions on how to stop that from happening. A dot appears on the screen that I assume I’m supposed to press, but when I do, nothing happens. He still falls and you must replay the same, tediously long scene that takes him to the ladder over and over again. Boring.

Because I liked the other games so much, I took a chance and paid $5 up front. I feel cheated because this game isn’t really a choice-based game like the others. And it’s boring!

### 1/5 — Won't download

*2017-05-11*

This app has used all my 10GB of data and still didn't download have attached to wifi and still no. So have now paid for something that won't work

### 1/5 — Horrible!!!

*2017-05-10, version 1.2*

It's a choose your own storyline type.  EXCEPT you choose only about 8 times throughout the entire thing AND from start to finish the game lasts literally and hour!! DONT waste your $$$$$$$$

### 1/5 — Dr

*2017-05-05*

Got stuck on the routine list scene, how do I proceed

### 1/5 — 😡😤😡

*2017-05-02, version 1.1*

My Review was removed Why? i'll get a refund then.

### 1/5 — Severely disappointed.

*2017-05-01, version 1.1*

While I applaud the actors and production values, this isn't really a game. It's a horror themed choose-your-own-adventure with no real choices! You're basically tapping to get to the next part of the story. How this achieved a "game of the year" award astounds me. It's a decent story, but that's all it is. You get only 1 real puzzle in the game, and it isn't hard. If you want to watch a short movie (although it's not that short--you can't skip any of the narrative sequences) go ahead and buy this. If you want a real game of some kind, save your money and move on. Developers: next time you put something like this together, offer some real choices that have a meaningful impact on the game's output.

### 1/5 — Pas de partage familial

*2017-04-27*

Ce jeu est top, mais l'éditeur a décidé de ne pas autoriser le partage familial...
Ce n'est pas sympa, du coup 5 étoiles -> 1 étoile, en espérant l'ajout de la fonctionnalité dans la prochaine MAJ.

### 2/5 — Deludente

*2025-10-21, version 1.2*

Storia curata davvero male, il gameplay e davvero ingiocabile devo spaccarmi le falangi per superare lo skillceck dove devi premere più e più volte per le prove di forza fisica. Non vi consiglio di spenderci i soldi

### 2/5 — Carpal tunnel simulator

*2023-08-17*

There are some stupid parts where you have to bash the screen repeatedly. Gave me wrist pain and I couldn’t finish game. 

Why, just why? The puzzles are so stupid why not just let us enjoy the story 😠

### 2/5 — A pale attempt at a narrative

*2020-01-26, version 1.2*

The game was a fairly poor attempt at anything resembling a game.  Your choices make little difference, if any, and the same ending occurs regardless of anything you do.  The acting is subpar, particularly with the main character.  He looks so weaselly and pathetic that I was almost rooting against him, hoping he’d find some new way to get injured or thwarted in his mission.  
The big “twist” is a yawn.  I won’t give anything away, but prepare to be incredibly disappointed if you waste the money on this “game.”  If you like FMV games, try “Her Story” instead.  It at least gives you some semblance of gameplay, and the layout of it is pretty novel.

### 5/5 — Super jeux

*2025-12-03*

Histoire angoissante et claustrophobe

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2022-06-29*

I love these types of games, this one was very enjoyable. The actor that plays John, and the child actor that plays younger John did a fantastic job. Really compelling story, rather bleak in places but very realistic imo showing how someone may act in that situation out of desperation(I’m referring to his mum). Really digging this developer at the moment and have downloaded quite a few of their film games. It’s not very long but worth the ride. 5*

### 5/5 — Tres creatif!

*2020-01-31*

Assez particulier et creatif pour ceux qui veulent decouvrir quelque chose d’original (c’est un FMV game = full motion videogame)

### 5/5 — Powerful twisting Interactive Movie.

*2019-10-17*

Beautifully shot, wonderfully acted with a deep complex twisting story and an incredible soundtrack. Highly recommended. Better than Bandersnatch.

### 5/5 — Очень короткая.

*2018-03-23*

Все классно, но очень короткая. И сюжет можно было бы по интереснее.

### 5/5 — Interessante

*2017-07-13, version 1.2*

Gioco diverso dal solito, con tantissimi filmati e trama avvincente, costa si ...ma per me li vale.

### 5/5 — Good but...

*2017-06-12, version 1.2*

Don't play this on a small idevice you'll break your hand mashing buttons

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2017-06-02*

Just begun playing this game and am so excited! Love the story and gameplay wish was more like this on App Store instead of cheap tat that constitutes gaming iOS style, although I understand it costs a lot and is far easier to churn out cheap crap, this being said it's imperative that games of quality like this one are bought and reviews left as this is the only way more games of this standard will be made. Well done channel 4 and the Devs and a big thank you!!! 😋

### 5/5 — Love this

*2017-05-13*

Amazing gameplay and story. Must try!

### 5/5 — I wish there were more games like this

*2017-05-11, version 1.2*

Picture a live action version of the walking dead and that is pretty much what you get. Perfect for my long train commute to work. Cheers to whoever made this game!
