Me for a pattern, but it’s my first time playing I don’t know what pattern is!!!!! ### 4/5 — A brilliant Puzzle game for Whovians that doesn’t overstay its welcome *2025-01-23* Very much enjoyed the overall story of this game and how it follows up on the story of Sally and Larry from “Blink”. A little buggy at times but overall enjoyed it. My only real complaint is that the secret ending is bugged in that it will play the first part but then the app totally freezes. Ended up having to watch the full ending on YouTube ### 5/5 — This game *2024-12-11, version 1.13* This game is so fun ### 4/5 — Really engaging game *2024-11-15, version 1.13* This has got to be one of the most engaging and immersive games I have payed, I felt like i was IN the doctor who universe and this game is quite unique and well done ### 5/5 — Exiting! *2024-07-25, version 1.13* It is the best thing ever!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Really slick game *2024-07-06, version 1.13* Very enjoyable, I’ll play it more than once. ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2024-07-04, version 1.13* I absolutely love Doctor Who, but all of the games I’ve tried so far have been lacklustre and boring. This one, however, was engaging and had me gripped from the start. I loved every single part of it, from the plot line (which follows the story of Blink, but from a future perspective, and with Osgood!) to the puzzles, the music and the mysteries and just all of it, to be honest. Another thing I love is how true it is to the story of Blink and generally incorporates a lot of NuWho’s Doctors, and the characters being used just seem like themselves.. I’m looking forward to playing this again and again - even though I know roughly what’s going to happen, there are so many different choices I could make to get different results, I feel like I could play this forever. Sorry if this was too long of a review for anyone, but I simply cannot emphasise how brilliant of a game this is - well worth £3.99, and I’d be happy to pay it again! 10/10! ### 5/5 — Please make more! *2024-05-24* The best game ever. Incredible detail & acting. ### 5/5 — WhAt A GamE *2023-12-17, version 1.13* I love this game I play it every single day in fact I’m thinking of buying the full game. This is PERFECT. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-09-13, version 1.13* This has me hooked I really wanna get the full game now ## Frequently asked questions about The Lonely Assassins ### What is The Lonely Assassins about?
