You drive them all. Plan ahead. Don't be late. In this small town, discover the characters and their secrets – what world-changing experiment is inventive dentist Dr Charles Schneider hiding? Will Mr Baker quit his job in advertising? What is that strange mask on Mrs Griffin's face? Will Mr Mayfield’s peculiar obsession with Yorkshire Terriers take over his life?

Both are free to download. Does not Commute sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Prime Peaks sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Prime Peaks holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3.9K and 2.6K respectively.
