ATTENTION! THIS GAME IS MEANT TO BE PLAYED WITH FRIENDS IN PERSON. IF YOU ARE ALONE YOU CANNOT PLAY! Dark Stories is an easy to play and fun game but some of the stories are quite difficult. All the stories are fictional. To solve them, the players will need to prove their skills as detectives. HOW TO PLAY Dark Stories must be played in group. A person -chosen as narrator- picks a mystery and reads its description aloud. Then he/she reads its solution without telling the other people. The rest of the players then have to make questions in order to solve the mystery. The narrator can only answer the questions using "Yes", "No" or "It is not relevant". The only possible solution is the one given at the back of each mystery card. If the answer is still not clear enough, the players must follow the narrator's interpretation of the mystery. EXAMPLE A typical fragment of a gameplay could be: Player1: "Did he die because of the shot?" Narrator:"No" Player2: "Was he poisoned?" Narrator: "No" Player3: "Did he have children?" Narrator: "It's not relevant" Player1: "Are there other people in the story?" Narrator: "No" Player2: "Did he commit suicide?" Narrator: "Yes" ... END OF THE GAME When the narrator considers that the story has been solved enough, the narrator can conclude the game and read the whole solution. It is up to the narrator to give some clues if the story is in a deadlock. WHEN TO PLAY It is perfect for birthday parties, camps... and every situation in which you join several friends. STORIES This free App includes more than 200 stories and we will add new stories periodically. Accidents, suicides, thefts... Will you be able to solve every mystery?

One shape. One target: 23 %. Draw a straight line through the shape so that one piece covers exactly that share of the total area. Sounds easy. On your first try it is. At ±0.5 percent tolerance with two decimal places, it stops being easy. HOW IT PLAYS • Touch and drag across the shape — the dashed line is your cut • Nudge either handle until it sits right • The game always measures the piece that lands closest to the target • The closer you are, the more points. Consecutive hits build a combo FIVE DIFFICULTIES From Relaxed (±5 percent, five lives, all the time in the world) to Master (±0.5 percent, two decimal places, 15 seconds a round). Precise and Sharp sit in between. And if that is not enough, Custom lets you set tolerance, decimal places, timer, lives and shape complexity yourself — the score factor follows along, harsher rules pay better. THREE MODES • Classic Run — endless, until your last life is gone • Daily Challenge — ten fixed rounds, the same for everyone worldwide, once a day • Practice — no lives, no clock, just you and the shapes SHAPES THAT FIGHT BACK Triangles and pentagons at first. Later stars, L-shapes, arrows and crescents — concave shapes where a single cut can produce three pieces and your eye simply gives up. GAME CENTER Global leaderboards for every difficulty and for the daily challenge, plus eight achievements. Entirely optional — without signing in the game plays exactly the same. TRY IT FREE Two difficulties and ten rounds per run are free, practice is unlimited. The full version unlocks every difficulty, the daily challenge and runs without a round limit — one purchase, no subscription. WITHOUT ANY OF THAT No ads. No tracking. No analytics. Not a single permission, not even a network connection. Your scores stay on your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: GeoCut at none against Dark Stories's shown. Dark Stories's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
