Well, the game itself was pretty lame and predictable, but since this review is about the app, I'm giving it five stars. Connection was perfect, and easy to do. First time we played we had 5 people, and we were all able to connect our phones with the game within seconds. Even when the router was accidentally unplugged, the game reconnected instantly when the wifi was restored. TL;DR: Boring and predictable game, but great app functionality.
Controls are fine, laggy a bit but it's just the phones making sure they're connected to the PS4 and wifi. Having the phone as the control is better suited than the proper controller. Story is awkward here and there but the game does require multiple playthroughs as your choices affect the story in many different ways - even if you least expect it. Consider investing a lot of time if you DO want all of the endings. Don't play competitive first time if you're playing with friends - or do if you want to ruin some days/nights. Either play the story together or have a competitive "get a good ending" party.
Really good game, works well with the phone most of the time however I've found that it's really finicky when searching for clues, especially while you're on a time limit. It's also less responsive if you're charging your phone while trying to play
This app is not very good. It's very laggy and imprecise, which is a problem during quick time events. It's also a massive drain on device batteries. The app adds nothing to the experience and there's no reason for the studio to not have used a traditional controller, which would have worked much better.
Very enjoyable, a bit short though and due to the choices not changing the future story that drastically it definitely Lacks relatability. Overall I enjoyed my experience of playing over a friend's house but I may be disappointed if I'd shouldered the cost of the full game myself.
Not worth $10 -The game is really boring. It has a good plot and everything but not good execution -The game was very fast paced in some parts but slow with others -Having a tutorial every 5 seconds takes away from the experience, especially if I've already played it -My phone told me hints before I actually got to uncover them -Not enough time on the timed parts -Constantly looking down and missing key moments -To a certain extent I could just use a controller with a sidebar for the other info
This app worked efficently. My family and I did not have a single problem when connecting to the game. For the game itself, it was very fun and engaging and kept me on the edge of my seat. 100% reccomend to other people looking for a game to play that has suspense and mystery in it.
Wont download. I have been trying to download and install this app for two days now!!! Its not my phone as im able to download other apps and i have plenty of storage space. When i try to download and install it wont open the file. Then i hit cancel to try it again and the same error...the file wont open. I even tried it on another phone i had to see if it was my phone and the same issue occured. So for that reason i wish i could give this an 0 as i cant install the app to play the game.
Would be great. Started to play, and then it disconnected me and now everytime I try to start the game, it won't let me past the 'choose a colour' portion in selection.
worst app ever!! I tried connecting it to same wifi network witt this app opened. After opening this app several seconds later it goes back to the home page of my device. I tried after getting wifi hotspot on and guess what? The same thing occurs. Please fix this or help me.
so stupid we needed an app to play this game instead of controller, app doesnt even handle very well and no chapter select to choose where to start for alternative endings , start from the begining each time.....
The app seems to work well on Android, friends on iPhones keep disconnecting and are unable to rejoin. Same app in App Store is 2.3 stars so that explains that
App works easily. Download app. Select same wifi network on phone/ tablet as PS4. Press join and no issues. That being said if rather have just used the PS4 controller
application works great. anyone who said that it didnt work, connection took too long etc etc. not meant to be rude but im sorry, you guys are really f*****g i***t. theres ps4 hotspot mode which works wonder. no need for fast wifi so read the instruction before cursing this app!
Would be great if they had a way to save and comeback later. If you log out to play later it'll say "no save detected". This game would be a lot better just using Ps4 controllers rather than phones.
Unneccessary app. Game could have easily just let people use controllers instead of forcing you to download an app to play. If ypu like these types of games check out 'Wales Interactive'. Movie type games with choices; no app necessary.
Although our group found the console game itself to be boring, we had no issues with getting this app installed and connected across a range of Android & iOS devices. No complaints with performance and ease of use. App gets full marks however the console game itself is average.
Can not use on Chromebook. Pathetic. You can do better. (if you like staring at the start screen, you will like this game. It is a well designed picture. )
I love the game but the app needs to be more optimized. I can only play through half of the game and then my phone dies, even if my phone is plugged in on the charger.
I enjoy the game. The app works great. People complaining about it not connecting are apprently incompetent and those complaining about their phones...its just that. The phone. Played through the game my battery is fine.
Crazy game :o definitely worth the ten bucks on PS4. Six hours of entertainment, ten dollars a person for a plain movie, or ten dollars for two to eight people having a great time at home! Definite shouldn't be rated E for everyone though, maybe T or even M.
Buggy app or my friends phone, couldn't tell which was the cause of the unresponsive app. Other games where you use your phone, hers acted fine. So I am inclined to think the app is buggy. Game itself? Eh.
Should have options to use phone or controller. So many times, the timer would count down for forensic scenes and I couldn't move the cursor, so I didn't find pertinent clues. Why release this game on a console if you can't play with the controller? The story line is all right, the voice acting's great, but I can't get over the BS PlayLink. And it's not like you have the option to replay a scene, so if your phone messed up like mine constantly did, you have to replay the ENTIRE GAME FROM START
