I love the game Duskwood and this was the only game close to that I've found. There's no games to play to unlock areas, it's just all phone app discovery and text/calls. There's multiple endings so you can play through multiple timesa and there's no things to buy. It was definitely a unique game and I enjoyed it a lot.

I think that this is a great game, and it has a lot of potential. I got jump scared soooooo many times from it. The only reason that I didn't give it five stars is because of a bug I had when trying to watch the jabber videos, and other short clips I would get from the characters in the messages.. it would freeze up my phone and I would almost have to restart the game. Besides that it's a great game though. Highly recommend.

10/10 game ONCE AGAIN. The experience was awesome, the characters were likeable and believable, and the experience was overall very fun. The coolest parts were when you wear headphones, you occasionally hear your doorknob rattle, someone gasp or breathe in your ear, and sometimes you even hear pounding on your door. Things like that truly unsettle you, because you realize that at some point you'll have to put the phone down, and face whatever is making those sounds.

Great game with a unique story. I found certain parts a little tedious, especially the amount of time it took for the chat texts to appear on screen. I get that it is meant to replicate the time delay between messages we have in real life but in a game it feels like you're wasting precious time. Perhaps they should add an option for "realism" or something for those who want it to be extra immersive.

I love this game! It's so interactive and I love all the features on it. The jumpscares genuinely made my heart skips a few beats. It feels like there's a whole world here, just from looking at a girl's phone. My only issue is one I need fixed immediately. Whenever I play a video, be it on vlogger, via text thread, or anything else, the sound works but the video is extremely slow and laggy. Please fix!!!!

An amazing game, worth the purchase! Contains multiple endings and Easter eggs, with very "real" characters! One thing that definitely separates this from other "cell-phone" mystery games is that the texting isn't done in "real-time", so you don't have to wait forever for a message. Very binge-worthy and a super enticing story! Kept me on the edge of my seat :D

This game is creative, innovative and spooky! I definitely recommend it. There are a few issues though: for some reason Google Play Games won't sync it properly so after I uninstalled and reinstalled I lost all my progress (the achievements don't work either). Some of the grammar can be a little off sometimes. The acting from the main girl, Anna, could be better. The (spoilers) "spooky" texting from Aulner just made me laugh a little because of how he dragged out his vowels, "MeEeEeEe"? (End spoilers) However, all in all an enjoyable experience!

This is a truly amazing game. Little things like the phone background changing make this a fascinating experience. Spoiler warning: My only complaint is that I feel like the jumpscare at the end was a bit cheap. However, I find that the fact that the entity gives the same line to you as it did to the previous victims right before they disappear more than makes up for it. This game is truly exceptional.

Great follow up to Sarah is Missing Really enjoyed the game. Definitely the best of its kind. Many have tried to imitate the style,but something is always missing. Thr multiple endings and achievements are a good bonus and add to replayability. I hope the development team has another game in the works.

This is a really well done and thought out game. I enjoyed the message that it tried to get the player yo understand and the story was really nice too. The only thing that I didn't really like was there was no real option to save anything. I guess whenever you completed something or made a memo it would technically save but no actual feature.

Very fun! But also difficult! I have a notbook litteres with notes from the game! I found it easier to write information down so that way i could access it easily without exiting apps and going back into others. I really liked this game, and the multiple story lines are amazing! It took me 2 tries of full gameplay to get "the good ending" and save both anna and taylor. It was difficult but i dis it! Im going to play a few more times with different answers for the other endings!

The story is really good , really immersive ( attributed partly to the accurate phone OS) and pretty spoooky. The jumpy nature can certainly catch you off guard in exactly the way you'd want in this sort of game. It certainly nets you a few hours of fun, replayability is great as there are different path options allow for altered story and endings all of which are unique and interesting. Worth my £4 for sure .

MUCH better experience than SIM with much more engaging characters, memorable dialogue moments, fun choices, decent jump scares, and puzzles that did leave me scratching my head at times (without having to use total moon logic). AND it has replay value. My only complaints are minor story gripes. Definitely the best of the "found phone" subgenre, and the effort here absolutely shows. $5 well spent.

Due to the quality of my phone i couldnt get the best out of the videos but overall it was really good. Cheeky jump scares and a very good story. Really reflects on the actual world in some cases if you really think about it. Thanks for the experience. To br honest the acting was terrible. Takes the seriousness away from what happening and makes me laugh instead. Need better actors.

Much longer compare to the first version, and more "family friendly", no blood or corpse. For the story, I like the first version, more intense and scary. For this version, I got really weird ending, it doesn't make any sense. I'll try to get different ending. One of my favorite game, everything well made, genius developer. Next time, please use easy English, I need to back and forth to Google translate. I'm looking forward to your new game!

Just finished one ending, I'll look for all of them! I watched two different playthroughs of this game before deciding to purchase, and it still gave me a different story. Nice jumpscares, great storyline, pleasant puzzles. Definitely worth playing on a phone, the experience is very nice!

Excelente science fiction, mystery, phone simulator game. No ads. Multiple endings. Your choices matter. I started it and didn't stop until I beat it - so good! Definitely play with headphones on. There's special audio effects. ;)

The game is amazing, but the videos are extremely laggy. I watched the videos multiple times to see if it was supposed to be like that, but each time they froze at different spots. It's a issue because maybe something in that video is a clue and I can't see it.

I love found-phone style games, and this was fun with great graphics, but I honestly expected there to be more to the game - I was hoping for more puzzles to solve and more content on the phone to dig through. When I played through the first time I was like "...That's it?". The acting was also preeeeetty bad.

Cool game with multiple endings, can be a little frustrating and hard to figure out the next step at times. Wasn't a super huge fan of some parts of the very end, but really dug the concept, found the world interesting and immersive, and enjoyed the social commentary the game provided.

Kei. P. Jun 8, 2019     

superb. It's almost wrong how much feels like going through a strangers phone playing this game. The voice acting wasn't the best, but the experience was spooky, leaving you at the edge of your seat, wanting for more. I look forward to more gameplay from the creators in the future. Excellent work.

Dra. Nov 2, 2018     

Great game, so immersive I more than once tried to use my phone's controls instead of the touch controls in the game. Some of the jump scares seem a little cheap, I would've preferred more subtle scares, things in the background, etc... Can't wait to experience the other endings

A great narrative and I hope to see more found phone games from these guys! I recommend playing in a dark room with a headset for a chilling experience. I just wish there were more games of this caliber. The cyberpunk twist is amazing and I crave it. Please make more games!! I've already played all of your other ones 3 or 4 times and always discover something new. Thanks! ^^

This game is a new idea executed very well. The game keeps you uneasead the whole time, as you feel there's more than what we see on it. The actors are okay, nothing terrible but nothing too amazing. If your a bit skeptical on this game, try the spinoff pipe dreams to get a basic understanding of what your getting into. But anyways, good game.
