Le seul problème c’est qu’il y a des erreurs d’accords dans les dialogues, notamment concernant le genre du personnage. J’ai choisie un personnage féminin, mais certains dialogues utilisent malgré tout des pronoms ou des accords au masculin. ### 4/5 — Bom *2026-08-02* Até o 1 ep em que estou no momento, estou gostando. :) ### 3/5 — Great games *2026-06-02* Great games but it takes forever for further episodes to come out in the uk. I don’t mind paying for flat rate if the episodes are released quickly but it takes that long that I won’t get purchasing and vip or flat rate add ons in the future ### 5/5 — ☺️ *2026-05-27* Muito divertido ### 4/5 — The Stage *2026-05-27* To adotando até agora! Só gostaria que melhorassem o português 🥹 ### 3/5 — Globalement déçu *2026-05-20* J’ai joué à tout les jeux jusqu’a présent… que ce soit The Healing, Seven, The sign ou encore Argus plus récemment… et j’en passe… et j’étais content de voir de nouveaux jeux… mais là The Stage parait totalement baclé et bien en dessous des jeux que j’ai cité juste avant… entre les trads bancals… les vidéos et images full ia… alors qu’avant on avait de vrais acteurs, certes pas parfait, mais c’était humain quoi! C’est vraiment dommage de passer de la qualité d’un The Healing ou Argus ou Seven comme j’ai cité avant à ça. ### 5/5 — Merveilleux *2026-05-18* Un jeu comme on les aime. Je me régale, je fais durer l’épisode 2 car je sens qu’il va se finir trop tôt à mon goût. Si je dois pointer un petit bémol, c’est l’orthographe en français qui parfois a des soucis d’accords sur les sujets masculins/féminins et le vouvoiement d’un coup entre deux personnes qui se tutoyaient juste avant ### 2/5 — S’il vous plait… *2026-05-14* Qu’est-ce que ce délire avec les « auteurs » du jeu qui se interviennent à tout bout de champ!?! Pour casser le rythme et plomber l’ambiance, on ne peut pas faire mieux! Et ce robot amnésique et dépressif est insupportable! Vous vouliez créer un personnage pire que Jar-Jar Binks? Mission accomplie!! Le jeu aurait pu être très bien si ce n’était de ces éléments qui ruinent complètement l’expérience de jeu. Ah oui! La traduction française est criblée d’erreurs de traduction et d’accords de nombre et de genre. L’IA n’est pas assez développée pour que vous puisiez vous y fier aveuglément. ### 2/5 — Never released chapter 2 *2026-05-08, version 1.2.0* Don't support these guys. The games themselves are really good but they put these puzzle games in that you have pretty much no choice but to watch hours upon hours of ads and no one's going to do that so you pretty much have to pay and the prices are exorbitant and outrageous. and then, more than 50 or 75% of the time, the subscriptions don't work. You can write directly to them, but as I have done, they respond and then they don't give you the code for at least 3 days to a week. ### 4/5 — i love reality games but i miss the real actors! *2026-05-03* reality games makes amazing games, i have loved all that they’ve released thus far. i usually pay premium even and just enjoy them through and through. i still love tv story line so far, and almost everything about the game. but having ai do the voices for some characters takes you out of the story. i get its probably pricey to pay actors to do english version, but i would say it would be worth it to keep loyal customers paying the premium. when youre playing and its supposed to be a tense or avert moment and then a cheesy ai voice cuts in it just really almost makes you laugh which then takes you out of the story. some of the ai images are fine, especially the clues or maps or whatever. those make no harm to the actual story. it’s just the actual actors and voices that matter a lot as they add heart to the story and allow you to almost grow a “connection” to them. anyway, as I said, it’s an amazing story and I love your guys’s games. I just hope you reconsider for future stories. ### 5/5 — The Stage *2026-05-01* Wo fang ich an? Die Story ist der absolute HAMMER! Ich hab gelacht, ich hab geweint..von A-Z an Emotionen war alles dabei. Manchmal vergesse ich, dass die Charaktere und Handlungen nicht echt sind. Es fällt mir total schwer Abschied zu nehmen, freue mich aber schon auf das nächste Abenteuer! Einziger Frustpunkt: die Minispiele 🥲 ### 5/5 — The stage *2026-04-16* I love this game! I can’t wait for the next part to release ### 5/5 — Your games are the best :) *2026-04-08* I have been a fan since Seven. I stumbled upon it and didn’t realize you had more games until a couple of years ago. I’ve been binge playing them all. I love the storylines and the characters. I’m so glad Hans is back. I missed him so much. I have to stop putting my face so close to the screen because you are the best at jump scares at the right time. I’m working on The Stage right now as I wait for the next episode in Circus of Death. The music is so catchy. Any way you would be willing to put The Stage music into an album so we can buy it on iTunes? I feel like I spend a lot of my time on the start screen jamming to the music. lol. ### 3/5 — . *2026-03-17* Disappointed there’s so much AI but overall it isn’t bad so far I’ve only just started ### 3/5 — Better chapter *2026-03-14* This chapter is better than the first one. Longer text dialogue before hacking comes into play! Thank you so much for listening! ### 5/5 — Great mystery *2026-03-11* I am playing the game so far and it is great. Hardly any ads and the games are great so far. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-03-09, version 1.2.0* Love it!! ### 2/5 — Super disappointed in the AI use ): *2026-03-08* The first thing i noticed in the video that the character jimmy sent us was that it was made by Ai, please don’t use Ai, it’s harmful to the environment. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Looking forward to actually getting to the story *2026-06-12* This was the point they asked me to leave a review, but at the moment basically nothing has happened except a whole load of talking with characters I don’t care about yet. Hopefully it picks up soon. I will come back and amend my review if things improve. Update: I’m back and I have taken a star away because of the sheer amount of ChatGPT slop that has been used in the creation of this game. Honestly embarrassing. ### 1/5 — Don’t pay anything *2026-02-19* Do not get if you live in America, the story is not finished and they are in no hurry to finish it here in America. If you do down load it, just play the min games to keep going on n the story, do not buy flat line or mouth subscribe thereconikt y have part one and that’s all they have for mouths not worth 48 dollors here in America if they don’t plan on finishing story. ### 1/5 — Doesjtnwork *2026-02-15, version 1.1.44* Won't even load. Useless app ### 1/5 — Boring *2026-01-09* Way to much talking with people I wasn’t even introduced to from the start boring ### 1/5 — Franchement nul *2025-12-24* J’ai voulu prendre le flaterate pour éviter les mini jeux qui sont plus pénibles qu’autre choses et je n’ai rien reçu. Aucune aide, impossibilité de contacter l’assistance, cela ne fonctionne pas. C’est clairement de l’arnaque et ce n’est pas la 1ere fois que cela arrive. Cela sans parler d’une traduction bien plus approximative que sur les jeux précédents, notamment sur les accords du genre masculin avec le reste, des morceaux d’histoire comme les conversations avec la mère qui durent 3 ans sont sans intérêt et n’apportent rien à l’intrigue, des vidéos qui font planter l’appli… À lire les commentaires je comprends également que l’IA a remplacé les acteurs français… J’ai trouvé qu’argus était pas ouf mais the stage c’est encore pire et de loin ! ### 1/5 — Bought subscription *2025-12-12* They just took the money. Won’t let me use it. Just freezes ### 1/5 — Can’t play *2025-10-24* I have not been able to get past the initial download page in order to play the game. I’ve tried several times. I’ve tried closing and reopening the app, uninstalling and reinstalling it, and even restarting my phone. ### 1/5 — Blank *2025-07-11* All the images are just white. Just like the circus. Used to like these games, but now they’re just unplayable. What changed to make your games trash? Or is it now that I am in the us? ### 1/5 — Game not working and can’t get help *2025-06-19* I am not able to see any images or videos in the game which makes it basically unplayable. I tried contacting support through the app, but I was unable to access the site because my iPhone blocked it as a risky site that could damage my device. I tried the developer page, but it was in German. HELP! ### 2/5 — Fan absolu des premiers jeu de ce développeur *2026-06-04* Ayant jouer a tout les autres jeu, j’étais vraiment hypé par celui-ci, a un tel point qu’avant même de commencer, j’ai pris le pack VIP en soutien. Mais pour soutenir quoi au final ? Un studio qui fait tout par IA au détriment de la qualité? Je suis sincèrement déçu, ça gâche tout et c’est vraiment à outrance..J’espère que vous allez corriger ça, sinon j’ai bien peur que ce soit la fin.. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love these games *2026-08-25* Too addictive! ### 5/5 — So far so good! *2026-08-23* I haven’t gotten super far in the game yet but so far it’s similarly enjoyable to the previous games! Looking forward to the rest! ### 5/5 — Interessantes Game *2026-08-20* Ich bin leidenschaftlicher Reality Games spiel Liebhaber und muss sagen das hier ist schonmal nicht schlecht. Ich bin grade an meinem ersten Hack mit (Spoiler Warnung) Hans 2.0 Und es gefällt mir ziemlich gut. Die Mini Spiele sind gleich geblieben was auch viele plus Punkte hat. Und die Story ist nicht schlecht. Bin gespannt wie es endet! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-17* As always the reality games developers Keep out doing themselves. Immersive,exciting amazing storylines. Played all off their games so far and cannot say enough how much I love taking a break from real life difficulties and being inside another world for a while. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — the stage no way out *2026-08-14* really enjoying it ### 5/5 — muito bom *2026-08-09* jogo está sendo muito viciante ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-06* 10 out of ten ### 5/5 — Reality games A++++ *2026-06-26* My favorite game designer does it again. I love the interactive games and the little bit of spice added. Only downside is I get sucked in and finish the chapters available too quick. ### 5/5 — Awesome game!! *2026-06-19* Great characters, good story! Love it! ### 5/5 — Excelente! *2026-05-30* Jogo viciante! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
