The plot twists and “choose your own adventure” aspects were riveting. Highly recommend this game! ### 3/5 — Great story, clumsy gameplay *2025-01-28* The story was very interesting and the concept was quite unique. However, the controls are awkward and clunky to use, and in a game where time is of the essence, it really drags down the experience. Perhaps a branching story map with the ability to go to a certain scene would be helpful to cut down on the repetition, especially when a critical item is missed and a restart is needed. Overall, an engaging storyline but gameplay is not up to par. Recommended if you have the patience to work through the controls, but one playthrough to the true ending is enough. Some tips that are not obvious: - Best played on an iPad (see others’ reviews on inventory control). - Pause menu gesture is 2-finger tap on screen. - Recommend looking up a spoiler-free walkthrough (unless you want to feel frustrated); there are 3 endings where you need 1 of 2 endings to get the 3rd true ending. ~ Warning: Getting the true ending will restart the whole game. Happy gaming! ### 4/5 — Nice *2025-01-22, version 1.0.4823* The interface is not the best, but it works well. And, I’m enjoying solving the puzzle so far ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2025-01-17, version 1.0.4823* I just wish there were more! ### 4/5 — 9/10 *2025-01-12, version 1.0.4823* Good guilty great twelve minutes uhm hard. 😔🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Literally Amazing *2025-01-10, version 1.0.4823* The amount of emotions I felt while playing this and receiving the main ending, you find out so much and there’s so many options it’s sort of heartbreaking. Literally loved this game so so much. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — There’s no volume *2025-08-15, version 1.0.4823* I cannot play a game with no volume it’s annoying ### 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 ### 1/5 — You guys are sick. *2025-05-09, version 1.0.4823* The story is a subversion of the universal hero story. It takes all that is noble and then turns it into something absolutely vile. Like take a shower vile. You are gross. ### 1/5 — Horrific *2025-04-28, version 1.0.4823* How much time do you have to figure out how long a the game is going to take to develop ### 1/5 — So good not anymore *2025-04-17, version 1.0.4823* Was such a great game before Netflix had rights to it so fun not anymore F Netflix and the creator of this game to give it to Bit ahh Netflix ### 1/5 — نصابين *2025-02-17, version 1.0.4823* من الاب ستور مجانية ولمن تحملها يطلب من عندك 18 دولار شنو هلعبان نفس هذا ### 1/5 — Repetitive *2025-01-19, version 1.0.4823* The game is repetitive and annoying. If you have nothing better to do with your life, then this game is for you. ### 1/5 — Trash *2024-12-21, version 1.0.4823* Trash ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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?? ### 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. ### 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 ### 5/5 — By far the best puzzle game I’ve ever played!! *2025-05-31* Great game worth the time. Absolutely loved the story plot and ending!! This really gets you thinking and makes you pay attention to the littlest details, which I really liked. Clever gameplay, but could be a little frustrating… I also like how you can skip through things you already went through in order to save time! The twists were so engaging, honestly 😭, and I really like the message. Just a couple minor bugs sometimes when the characters move—it could look a little choppy/messy sometimes (only happened once or twice, I dunno…). Another thing that bugged me a tiny bit was the fact that you couldn’t turn yourself in or anything like that, after finding out it was you (who killed the father/wife), and how the healthcare line was just unavailable (I get it, though, since it wouldn’t really have had an effect on the plot). But overall, OBSESSED! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🕚 ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-05-11, version 1.0.4823* Great game. If you get stuck don’t use ChatGPT to help you as it will lead you down the garden path to know where on solving this. Great game. Have solved it now. Very well done ### 5/5 — Need more games like this! *2025-04-02, version 1.0.4823* Challenging and exciting. I have never had a mobile device game that I’ve enjoyed more. I couldn’t stop playing. Currently looking for similar games ### 5/5 — If you like mystery or console games this is for you 😳🫵 *2025-03-25, version 1.0.4823* BROOO okay so I admit this game gets me very rageful because of the constant restarting, but OH MY GAWD is it sooo good. I’ve never actually seen a mobile game that has so much depth like this. Other reviewers are saying it’s boring but they obvi have like little-to no attention span. I only completed one ending and it took me so long (but worth it) but I’m pretty sure the story has multiple endings too. Very very addicting. Really recommend. Thanks for making this, I only wish more mobile games would be this enjoyable instead of just tycoons, or matching games like candy crush that are all that same, or anything else pointless and brain deteriorating. Anyways thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏 plz make more games like this❤️ much appreciated ### 5/5 — Get it *2025-03-21, version 1.0.4823* Amazing game me and my boyfriend kept taking turns playing and we had so much fun what a clever game never seen anything like to ### 5/5 — amazing game buuut *2025-03-13, version 1.0.4823* amazing game, but i wish i could just buy this game without having to get a netflix subscription. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
