Great, modern concept, well executed. Fun shape sub-game, too. Problem is: you can't progress main game without buying "coins" and "lives" to keep playing shape game to the end, which allows you to keep chatting with the characters to move game forward. Also, not clear how much you have to pay in total to play whole game. So, game is not "free". Would rather pay a few bucks outright than have the frustration of this unknown number of must-pay roadblocks.

the games to continue are a little hard so that makes for the gameplay to be pretty slow. I don't like to spend money on games like this, so I dont play very often because I lose interest. the concept, however, is great! it has potential to be my favorite app! but due to the slow speed of progression unless you pay, I'm changing my rating from 5 stars to 4.

This game was honestly a waste of time. It took me 3 months to get through the whole thing for a bare bones story and mild gameplay. Later in the game the difficulty level increased to the point where it was weeks between actual story moments so I had forgot most of what had happened by the end. This game also included a variety of glitches, mostly in the "hacking" portion but im not complaining since many of the times it worked to my benifit.

Glitchy puzzle dominates the game. The overall game is good, but hinges on a weak puzzle that is glitchy...sometimes overlap of squares is allowed (glitch) and sometimes black squares do not convert correctly. I wish the game was more about the theme and not about a bad puzzle for 99% of the time. Deleting before the "investigation" can began.

This is a puzzle game with an occasional murder mystery. The layout is nice, I did think it was interesting to have everything sent through texts. The story seemed fine, the characters were interesting enough. There's a relationship meter linked to your choice of messages for some of the characters. Just wasn't into it, wish there was a more interesting gameplay element besides the same style of puzzle over and over, it gets repetitive quick.

Love this game. There are a few glitches but if your careful they wont really happen. Except the very rare puzzle map doesnt load all the way. They are getting trying to fix theses, they fixed a bad one from about a year ago the last time I tried to play the game. Finished the first story this time cant wait for the next story to be ready.

When a game is shown to be a horror genre phone simulator, and most of the game is really just a puzzle, then you have a problem. I downloaded this game for the interesting story, but was met with mainly block puzzles that ruined the experience. A little bit of puzzle is fine, but this is the wrong way to go. I noticed the same issue still being a thing in the other games. ...why? Just...why?

The games you guys insert get way too challenging to pass. I have to get four stars to continue and I've been trying to get just one the last twelve hours. Maybe making the "hacking" games a little easier instead of getting very very difficult to where i can't go on to the next level or event. I love the game but I'm spending more time trying to do random games to earn stars to continue instead of getting to play the game more. Great concept just don't enjoy most of my time spend on the "Hacking" game

It's an interesting game, but the sheer amount of puzzles is insane. It'd be much better if you could do each puzzle just one time, but you have to do the same six puzzles three times before moving on! And every puzzle is basically the same as the last. Different types of puzzles, and doing each one just once would make this game much better. you have to "grind" to get tiny pieces of the story, and it's just not worth it. Sad, because I was excited to have a decent mystery game

ive been trying to stick with this game because the story is so interesting but honestly the incessant tetris mini game every 30 seconds to progress is annoying and boring as hell. I kept up with it through the 6th hack waiting for it to end and of course there was at least one more. Now i'm uninstalling and i'll just read a spoiler. If the levels were winnable it'd be one thing, but a lot of the time they aren't so you keep playing until you get lucky and that is not fun to me.

I've been playing this game for quite a while now and love it. Although I am getting a little sick of stupid blocks and feel like you should get better rewards. I've made it to hacking into Fred's computer and have finished every level but the game keeps telling me that I need to collect 3 more stars to continue. I can't collect anymore stars because I've completed every single level

Very frustrating. I want to read the story, and not play puzzles so much. The more you progress, it turns into more puzzles that are impossible to beat and the story kind of stopped. "Get the password" you play for days trying to complete whole sections and then get no new plot lines, just asking for another password. I'm bored, deleting game.

Could be fun. Really interesting story. But to progress the story you have to do these mini puzzles. And theres just wayy to many for very little progress. For example you have to do 3 mini games to unlock 3 stars. You do that then get 2 or 3 text messages, then have to collect more stars again to continue. It feels like 80% mini games vs. 20% storyline/text messages. It be fun if about half the mini puzzles were cut out.

At first, this was a really great game, addicting even, but then as i got further into the game, the app glitched, i think. It told me i needed 3 more stars to continue, but i completed every level. I never got another text to give me the next section. This meant, i couldn't continue the story and was basically stuck. I am completely devastated that i can't play this anymore. I still think that it is a very fun game. I hope that the creators will fix this bug soon.

The puzzles get really repetitive (and boring) after the first 6, especially since it's the only way to progress in the game without having to spend coins (or but coins if you don't have any). Wish there was a way to get through them faster. Like, maybe instead of 1 star per play, you could get 3 stars. And then up the number of progression stars to like, 9. That way we still have to do 3 puzzles, but at least they'd different and less repetitive.

An interesting experience with a fairly good narrative that progresses well and kept me interested until the end. Some of the dialogue sounds a bit stilted, and could do with a bit of proofreading. The main downside is that the "hacking" elements are fairly tedious (although not impossible with a bit of patience). Overall a fun game that I'm glad I took the time to play through.

Updated: way too repetitive. The premise is very cool but I am so bored, I am going to uninstall. The story is great but you have to play a zillion games of "tetris". I like tetris style games but dang. You have to play each level at least 3 times (that's if you beat it the first time, which you won't). For example, there are color requirements for some of the levels and you won't even get enough of the color blocks to meet the goal. Very crappy oversight in the development. Very frustrating and that is NOT why I play games. First few days of playing: Very cool mystery game where you get text messages that use conversations with characters to tell a story. A story you are involved in. There are also mini games, (update-there is only one mini game, it is a tetris style game) which lets you be more interactive than just reading and replying to texts. It doesn't take long to get hooked. Unique!

The higher you get in levels the more likely it is that the levels will simply become impossible at their base. The storyline is compelling (though I wish you could choose your preferred gender and orientation to make it more immersive) but if you're supposed to get a certain number of colored blocks in a level I kind of feel like you should be provided them, the trick should be using them properly. I know it's to get those micro transactions but I just find it frustrating and quit playing.

This is actually a boring block puzzler, not a mystery game. Worse, the puzzles quickly become set up in a way that they are impossible to solve without using coins or power-ups (for example, you need to clear 30 blue blocks in 20 moves, but only 20 blue blocks ever show up on the board). Think Candy Crush but worse. Pass, don't play.

This game is something else. I'm not sure I want to call an immersive mystery game fun, but I very thoroughly enjoyed it. The puzzles were challenging but not impossible and the story was captivating. Be warned there are mentions of graphic violence. I took off one star since the game does occasionally glitch- the timer to grant more lives often runs into the negatives, and sometimes puzzle pieces will glitch through each other and lock in where they shouldn't be able to. 9/10 You should play.
