### 1/5 — Netflix Games?

*2025-11-28, version 1.0.4823*

Don’t download this unless you pay for Netflix! It’s misleading to market this game as free when you need to log in to a Netflix account in order to play! What are you doing 😡

### 1/5 — Cheap repeated game to occupy my time

*2025-10-19*

Love Netflix but hate this game. I’m long time a video games fan and what I enjoy most is seeing dedicated artists creating beautiful well designed non-repeating levels. It doesn’t need to involve gigantic amount of polygons or huge 3d worlds but need to show they are well thought about. This 12 minutes game is the anti-thesis of that. It gave me a feeling that the producer wanted to use as cheapest as possible level/3d model design, and reuse them as much as possible to occupy my time. Yes the plots are not repeating but the plots (conversation) is cheap. You just write lines and don’t need to create levels or new map new objects. As a tv especially documentary watcher I noticed Netflix is good at using some “formula” (such as assembling materials in a certain way) to mass producing documentaries, that’s fine with me because I love them. But me as a gamer I don’t bite this formula to create cheap games. Hope you succeed in this kind of games but not one me.

### 5/5 — So freaking good!!

*2025-08-27, version 1.0.4823*

This is absolutely stunning and beautiful I was thoroughly immersed in the gameplay and couldn’t put it down until I finished. It’s relatively short which is my only gripe.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2025-08-24*

Perfect Artwork and the actors; tbh this needs to be made into an actual theatrical movie! However It isn’t as functional on iPhone.. so I swear it took me 10x longer than needed. fingers being to wide vs a cursor or controller. Also maybe clean up the ending a bit I heard there’s an option to fix the watch when you’re alone in the empty apartment but I never could.. from what I hear many or most people had trouble with it. All in all it is very entertaining, so if anything at the least maybe a sequel??

### 1/5 — There’s no volume

*2025-08-15, version 1.0.4823*

I cannot play a game with no volume it’s annoying

### 3/5 — I like it

*2025-07-23, version 1.0.4823*

Great game but hard to control you move like a snail and the interaction system is absolutely abysmal but the story is amazing and overall a fun idea for a movie it’s a horrible game but great concept

### 3/5 — iPhone users beware

*2025-07-21, version 1.0.4823*

The controls are really clunky and wierd the inventory is so close to the top of the screen my iPhone thinks I’m swiping down and it takes a good 20 seconds to open doors or get items I do like the game  though it’s really creative and it’s not like  much games I’ve sen before .overall a good game but can you please fix the controls 🙏😭

### 5/5 — Gripped me all the way to the end

*2025-07-11, version 1.0.4823*

ChatGPT is a great hint tool but only if you use o3 or better, one of the paid models where it thinks out loud and deeply searches the web. Well done devs/writers overall.

### 1/5 — WTH

*2025-06-21, version 1.0.4823*

How do you get in the apartment the spare key isn’t in the plant

### 5/5 — Janky but cool concept

*2025-06-05, version 1.0.4823*

Interesting concept & story. Bad controls & UI: race against timer to simply operate the game, then be forced to watch minutes of identical cutscenes repeatedly as game restarts, because the option you needed to select within a couple seconds didn't even show up, or switched to the wrong item because there's multiple tiny items next to each other all smaller than the tip of your finger. Use walkthrough to avoid wasting time on red herrings
