### 1/5 — Won’t let me restore my purchase

*2025-10-05*

I bought this game to keep playing but the I accidentally deleted it but now it won’t let me restore my purchase even though it has a option to restore purchases but won’t let me and wont let me rebuy the full game.

### 3/5 — Trial and Error

*2025-09-02*

Intriguing premise and amusing characters. Unfortunately there’s no actual deduction involved in “solving” the mystery. Every interaction is a choice of two dialog options with a 50% chance of unlocking a piece of evidence or not, and the right answer feels arbitrary with no reasoning involved. So there’s no way to win other than playing again and again to exhaust every option.

### 5/5 — Need more games like this

*2025-08-10*

I have played several interactive games like this, but this was the only one I could restart many times and not get bored- the whole set up and the characters were all great - need another game / story !

### 1/5 — Деньги списали, но игра не запускается

*2025-02-04*

После прохождения демо-версии оплатила полную версию. Деньги списали, а игра не запускается. Продолжает требовать оплаты.

### 4/5 — Great so far but unfair in that I likely cannot finish

*2025-02-04*

I’m loving this game so far. I did see there were in app purchases but assumed like so many other games those were for power ups of some sort or extra hints. Idk. This is the first game I’ve played from this company. I am now realizing after getting hooked into the story that I will be forced to pay in order to continue and I honestly can’t afford to do that. 
The other thing about paying for a game like this is that once you’ve solved it you’re unlikely to play again so now you’re just put that money. Maybe there are ppl that have that kind of expendable income but I’m not one of them right now

### 1/5 — I Just Cannot

*2023-01-12*

I really hate that a new trend in video games is one where every effort is made to punish the player for not remaining consistently locked in to the game.  The time limit on the decisions are very short, and some decisions result in a response that indicates that the writers were too lazy to craft the story around the decision and just left it at "sorry, try again".

### 3/5 — Honestly, I like it but…

*2023-01-07*

This game is GREAT. It hooked me in the first part. Until I got the notification that I had to pay. Honestly, I don’t want to pay money to continue the game. The devs could make a game pass where you can heal Uncle Marcus a little bit. You don’t have to make it so to continue you need to buy money, I mean it’s quite unfair for the people who need to ask their parents to buy stuff.

### 2/5 — High potential - but a let down

*2022-12-27*

Love the acting.  High quality script.  But such a waste that this is all just random guess the correct sequence to move forward, and not at all based on reason or skill.  Super disappointed because this could have been amazing.

### 2/5 — A Well-Acted Waste of Time

*2022-12-25*

The concept of this game is great. I really enjoyed the acting and characters. But the gameplay boils down to going down every dialogue option and over and over again until all the clues are found. It’s not a real mystery to solve. What a shame.

### 4/5 — great stuff… i love fmv’s

*2022-11-29*

what i despise is your horrible choice of white borders top and bottom. the worst. you dont see any movies with white borders. very very stupid & DISTRACTING!  and needs many more interactions  -other than that…nice.
