You get a message from someone who is trapped, and they are not alone. A locked house. A hospital ward. A grocery store after close. You decide if they survive.

Guide them through it, open the photos and videos they send you, and decide whether they get out.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Do Not Reply at none against Parasite Days's shown. Do Not Reply also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
