Honestly, in shock that a game this great is free to play. Once I started playing, I couldn't put my phone down. There's a very intriguing story and difficult puzzles. No bugs or issues for me while playing. I wasn't forced to stop playing by an energy system or waiting real time for anything. There are no ads unless you need a hint. I wish more apps had this system. Waiting for energy, usually I forget about it and don't open the game again. Only con is waiting for episode 3 to come out.

Love that the ads are optional for when you need clues! I also love the whole immersive quality to it. You're not necessarily restricted to what the game tells you to do and can investigate at your own pace. For example, I looked through all the emails and messages before the game assigned the task. it gets you ahead of the curve. The mystery is also very intriguing. For any lovers of Clue, or the Board game Case Files, I highly reccomend this to you!

Great immersive mystery! It's not too easy, it has some challenges, but it's not too hard. Also, the availability of hints is good - each one is in three parts, so if you just need a little nudge, you can do that or if you need a bit more, or if you just can't get it, the third hint spells it out. To get hints, you watch an ad. Otherwise, there aren't any ads intruding on your experience. The story is great, captivating. I'm looking forward to the release of the third part!

I'm pretty early in the game but I think the story sounds great! They don't do that good of a job explaining certain aspects of the game which leads to at least me having to use hints quite often. I understand that since it is a small production they might need more money so it doesn't bother me too much but I do wish they explained what certain things were. Like the hidden photo in the gallery. This is also a kind of solve it yourself game so It makes sense. Overall very well done :))))))))))))

Been playing for around 1-1.5 hrs and have gone through a few chapters. So far, the game is pretty smooth and very entertaining! Some odd spelling errors and sentence structures but it could be intentional to make the conversations feel more realistic. The only ads I've come across are for hints and are optional, so I just take my time with the puzzles until I really am sure I'm stuck. My only real complaint is the price of the side quests, but that's the price we don't pay for a good free game!

I wasn't sure about this game, but an hour in and I'm still hooked. The only ads so far are optional. The story is interesting, and I can't wait to find out the ending. There is also optional paid content if you want to continue the fun with side cases not related to the main story. This is a great mystery game for those who like puzzles, virtual novels, and mystery who done it like games.

I'm about 40 days out from the disappearance and I'm obsessed! This game is interactive and developed in a way that one feels as though the detective work and conversations are actually occurring on your own phone. There are lots of puzzles and riddles, some easy, some pretty difficult! They really make you think! If you need hints, you can get up to 3 by watching relatively short ads. I've definitely had to use some hints already! The plot and storyline are engaging. So glad I found this game!

It's so much fun, many mysterys to solve! Gives us hints if we need any at any time, we get an ad for a hint, but not really any ads at any other time. If we get 2 hints then ask for another one it will just give us the answer so we can move on. We can move freely and take our own notes on the situations. We have tasks we need to do to solve the case. Over all its just super fun to play!💛

I'm really enjoying the game so far. I've always loved solving mysteries. I'm a true crime nerd. this game is satisfying! Great job creators! Update: I have now finished the content available and am super eager for the next episode! This game has kept me awake all night because I can't put it down. I really want to solve Zoey's disappearance! I'm invested in this story. Lol I happily bought the side trails app for some extra content and to help the game creators get it going! 100% recommend!

Lovely, especially given that it was developed by such a small group. I was going to complain about the lack of options because there are some instances in which you could save time. For example, to access the victim's Instagram you need the name of the cat, so you should be able to call/text any of her close people to talk to them about it and get it. Any other than that, great job!

This is a really good, interesting, and entertaining game. I really like how it allows you to ACTUALLY play the game, and not just make you pick one choice instead of multiple. I also like how you have to solve puzzles to get answers, which makes it 10x more entertaining, and enjoyable. I've been playing this game for a couple hours now, and I'm ADDICTEDD!! It's so good, I swear to god lol. I 100% recommend this game to people who like to go on adventures, play puzzles, and text people lolol. <3

the game is very entertaining and fun however the game does have errors because for one of the tasks it wasn't working. And I couldn't figure out what was the problem until I closed to app and opened it back up again. Then it started working just fine, I do have to warn you guys the the game does have some confusing parts especially if you don't know that you have to look in tasks. And complete the tasks for you to move forward.

the English is a bit subpar so far but it's still an enjoyable game! There's this one annoying little bug where the notification bar (in game) is always a little pulled down from the top. I don't even know if it's actually a bug, but since it even covers the little wifi symbol in game a bit I'm assuming it's most likely a resolution problem or something?

I love how realistic this game is. It makes you really feel like you are on the phone(s). I also would love to mention how there are only ads if you request a hint. Speaking of which, the hints don't give the answers, but rather help you to the answer as hints should. The only issue is that after a while, the game will crash, and I will have to close it and reboot it. Otherwise, this game is amazing. Love it. 10/10 P.S. I can't wait for part 2, this is an amazing game!

I'm in love with this game!!! It's so intricate, like every little detail was very well thought out. I love the characters, the story, the puzzles, the mechanics... literally everything about this game. Chapter 2 was fantastic with the story and different puzzles. I can't believe this game is free! One of the best parts is that you only have to watch ads when you need a hint, that way you can focus on the story and think about the puzzle while the ad is playing. I can't wait for Chapter 3!!!

Interesting concept and smooth UI. The plot requires the player, as the character of an adult man, to blackmail a group of teenagers, which feels pretty gross; these actions are unavoidable if you want to progress the story, as the text decisions you make don't seem to affect the plot at all. I wish that, as the player, I had a little more agency in what the character does instead of being railroaded.

So, after playing episodes 1 & 2, I'm hooked. The gameplay is easy enough, the plot is engaging, and keeps you on your toes. However, my one complaint is that sometimes, I'd be presented with a problem and not know what to do, sort of like it just fell directly into my lap and said "solve it" so I'd have to hit hint once or twice. Other than that you can BET I will be returning for episode 3.

It's really good!!! I honestly fully recommend you give it a try. The layout and design of the game is spectacular they designed the phones so well that I was shook. the puzzles are really fun to figure out but not so hard that you get stuck and struggle for too long. it's the perfect amount of difficulty and the story really has me as well!! All in all it's an amazing mystery game to play.

AMAZING, CHALLENGING, AND IMMERSIVE. This game has a fantastic storyline and with fun puzzles throughout. It is addictive! Already done with Ep2 & sidetrails. It's easy to start and not put the phone down until you finish. There's every chance that if you get stuck, you can keep getting hints, yes - watch an ad, but it's okay! They're very helpful. What's nice is there's 'levels' to hints, if you don't want the answer yet, it tells you how to get there, then eventually helps solve it. 20/10!!!!

This game has WAY too much work put into it to be free! There's puzzles inside of puzzles, side stories, and a deep and enthralling story. It is a mystery not easily predicted, everyone is a suspect. Not many things scare me as a horror fan but this game has me on edge the whole time, especially with headphones on. It is the perfect balance between difficult and challenging!
