### 1/5 — Ugh

*2020-11-28*

I like this kind of laser-maze game, though the storyline is much more linear than the game has potential for. The BIG thing though is that the storyline is misogynistic and racist beyond par. It disgusted me pretty quickly. Tone deaf, it should be called.

### 1/5 — Lost all my progress

*2019-07-07*

The game has taken me all the way back to the tutorial levels, and lost my progress to higher levels. Since there is no way to skip any levels this is incredibly frustrating, and the levels aren’t interesting enough to be willing to do them all again. There also seems to be no way to turn off the sound, which I don’t like. It’s a shame, because I was enjoying the puzzles.

### 1/5 — Boring, dated

*2019-05-22*

I was looking for a fun story/puzzle game after finishing Device 6, but this was lame. You only solve one type of puzzle cover and over. After solving a handful, it shows you some email or text correspondence and you have to make it as pertinent or not pertinent. Well, smoking “dank” is now legal in most places and certainly isn’t going to be a priority by a CIA/FBI organization, but the game seems thinks it is pertinent. Another email made reference to a bomb explosion, but it wasn’t pertinent. Not a fan.

### 1/5 — Levels don’t load

*2019-04-09*

Levels don’t load just showing black screen 
Aspect ratio doesn’t fill whole screen

### 4/5 — Issue with black screen resolved

*2019-04-09*

Thanks for fixing it!

It worked after updating app and also updating IOS.

### 2/5 — DO NOT GET

*2019-04-04, version 1.2*

Got this game a while ago. It was actually pretty fun. Only problem now the game no longer works (no puzzles load) and has basically been abandoned by the devs. Save your money.

### 1/5 — Looks like it’s broken.

*2019-04-01, version 1.2*

I’d read something about this and it looked nice.  I dropped my few bucks to buy it and one of the tutorial puzzles won’t load completely.  Effectively, without doing the tutorial, the game itself can’t be played.  Sent an email to support with no reply (the game was last updated four years ago so I guess it’s to be expected).  Don’t spend money on this.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!

*2019-02-10*

I couldn’t get past the tutorial. Screen turns black and is unresponsive. I wrote to the company and got no reply. Don’t buy this game, it should be fixed or taken down.

### 2/5 — Crashes all the time

*2019-02-09, version 1.2*

On my iPad and iPhone.

### 1/5 — Trop de bugs...

*2019-02-09*
