*2026-05-24, version 1.0.6*

Firstly the game is awesome! My issue is specifically for whatever reason I can no longer play this game on my iPhone it crashes. Yes I’ve done all the basic troubleshooting but no one can figure out the problem. It sucks since I wanted to start from the beginning when true fear 3 came out…..otherwise it’s one of my favorite game series to play.
