I was elated to see this available for mobile. I had this on xbox and it is one of my favorite games. The story is incredible and invokes a lot of different, intense emotions. That being said, I have only played into this a little on mobile and so far the adaptation recreates the experience very well. The graphics, of course are not as good, but that's expected. This is a must play if you love choice-based story games. Character development is amazing and you really feel for them.

Decent game, excellent story. I'm really liking these games that focus more on story than mechanics. Especially with choices involved its fun to see how others made different choices, and to learn more about the themes and the paths i didn't take. My only complaint is the replay value is low, I plan on getting the collectibles like all the photos, but then it's done.. but that's ok.

The only reason I give this great game 4 stars is the phone menu and the camera controls. In the mobile version, when you access the phone menu, the buttons to switch between screens/exit the menu are cropped out, so you have to use the back button on your actual phone. The camera has a smooth motion instead of a more direct one, which is annoying and slow. I understand the atmosphere they're going for, but it's annoying to control, especially in timed parts, even if you up the sensitivity.

Developers please reply. I cannot get past the beginning of episode 2. 1 played totally fine. I have the Motorola Z 2 and it definitely has the capability of running such a game. I've tried multiple times. Even deleted and reinstalled. Again played episode 1 just fine. It keeps freezing at a certain point in e2. I bought the whole game because it's so good. Fix?

This game is truly beautiful to look at and unique. Very interesting storyline. I made sure I played each episode at night in bed to get the best vibe and feel from the game. Truly gripping! Sometimes it might get a little buggy, like there won't be a option to go down stairs or something, so I just close the app and restart it and it fixes those little things. But they don't happen offen. Does have strong language so just a warning. Very very visually pleasing and worth the season pass purchase

Haven't gotten very far, but it's a very interesting game from what I've seen. Unfortunately, the edges of the journal are cut off on newer phones, making it very difficult to use properly (your phone's back button should exit the journal for anyone else having this problem). I hope a fix for this - such as the option to take it out of "full screen mode," which is what fixed similar issues in other games - is added soon.

Absolutely harrowing - in a good way. The controls are really easy to use on this playstore version, and the graphics are really beautiful and unique. (SPOILER-ish) I ran into a few bugs where Max would get stuck in rewind where there wouldn't be any place to rewind to but she would remain paused, though it only happened about 3 times throughout the entire gameplay. Overall, an amazing game!

Best mobile game I've ever played! I've never bought a game (or any app) and I'm so glad I took a chance on this one! The dialogue, storyline, characters, challenges, soundtrack and artwork combine to create a world that's hard to put down. I've read other reviews saying that some devices are experiencing a certain glitch, but I was able to play through all of the chapters without a hitch. I'm not a big fan of the foul language used throughout but it did feel organic within the given scenarios.

Fantastic game and story. One of the few engrossing games available in Mobile. I only give 4 stars with some technical issues. As a mobile game, they should have made it just a little more mobile friendly. You should be able to play for five minutes, put it down, them be able to come back to exactly where you were after an hour or so. Several times, I had explored a certain area for 10-15 minutes before needing to go to another app. When I would come back, my progress was lost. Frustrating.

This is the best mobile game I've ever played. It might even be one of the best games I've played on any system. The story is captivating and it will reel you right in. The gameplay mechanics of rewinding time along with your choices affecting the outcome of the story are executed well. I bought the full episode pass immediately after finishing the first one. I won't leave any spoilers here, play it yourself and see what I mean! From a technical standpoint, the game ran pretty well on my Galaxy S8+. However I did notice it had a tendency to force crash. This was especially prevalent on the final episode of the game - for some reason during that sequence the game force closed more than five times. Other than that i didn't have any complaints. Well done. I hope we see even more of these characters someday.

I LOVE this game. The story is well written and I really wanted to give a 5 star but it's virtually unplayable on my Note 8. I emailed support and did all suggested troubleshooting and a factory reset for good measure (which erased all of my progress when I was more than halfway through the story). The shadiness of not telling you have to pay for the story until you're 1/5 of the way through aside, I can't get it to work. It shudders, freezes, and crashes, losing sometimes a ton of progress where you have to start over at the last checkpoint. I've had to force close this app more than any I've ever worked with (and I troubleshoot phones daily at the cell phone store I work at). There have been multiple times I thought that I just won't get to see how the story ends because it is so stuck that no matter what I do, I can't get it to load. I've tried other internet connections as they've suggested and it doesn't seem to matter. I've never had to restart my phone so many times and I don't have this issue with any other apps on the same device. Very disappointed. If you don't know extensive troubleshooting steps I would be weary. It may be difficult to get it to work. My first email was responded to promptly with a copy and paste of troubleshooting steps I'd already said I'd done in the email I sent and my response email was ignored. There is also a choice that it comes down to at the end that is extremely depressing no matter what you choose. There's no good ending possible in this game, so if you're the kinda person (like me) that needs a happy ending, you should skip this one.

My first time playing this game and I like the concept and the detail that has gone into it. But my main issue is sometimes it's not easy to maneuver through the game, or control the character. She moves slowly A LOT or seems to move then stutter to a stop, or hits something that doesn't really seem to be there. Many times I was shouting at my phone "MOVE!!! COME ON!!!" and I'd stop playing just because I was frustrated 😕🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️. I can tell it's good and interesting, just wish it was smoother. I'm playing on a Note 9 if that matters.

I bought this game and its season pass back last year, but had to uninstall on my old device. Just didn't work out well. Installed tonight, and after a hiccup, was able to restore purchased content. This version is almost on par with the console, which is pretty hard to pull off on a phone, I imagine. The only slight issue is the diary menu gets cut off a bit in game, but you can still use it if you look for the edges of the buttons top left. Excellent port, and I'll be playing through again.

Truly unique game. Portions play like a movie while other portions require choices, alter the lines and course of the story. Not only are the graphics great (except maybe for the angular hair) , but the story was gripping, original, well-developed and lengthy. You do have to pay for episodes 2-5, but the price is WELL WORTH the value of the entertainment. It's also much cheaper than the many "chapter" based stories that rely on tickets to play. Well done. (be advised: adult language and theme.)

I bought episodes 2 - 5 but can't download them. The game claims I don't have internet even though the OS shows a strong connection. Update#1: I tried reinstalling the game (my mistake) and now the game hangs on startup because it asks for permissions, but the box is blank. So there's no way to know what it needs. So now it's unplayable. I emailed the developer and hopefully there's a fix soon. Update#2: I'm within Google's 48 hour refund window, initiated a refind request and was DENIED.

Buggy, this is one of my favorite games and I was looking forward to playing it on mobile but unfortunately this game doesn't work. Once you finish episode 1 you have to download other episodes to continue but when I did the episode refuse to install. I uninstalled the game then reinstalled it again to see if it would fix the problem, unfortunately that didn't fix it either it just made it worse because it was not able to restore any of my previous purchases within the app..

If possible, I'd give no stars! I played this originally on Steam and it was awesome!! Seeing this in the Play Store brought me back and it claims it's compatible with my phone, but I have tried purchasing the season pass and it keeps telling me it's unavailable or that I lack WiFi connectivity. I know it's not a connection issue! I've tried on 3 different WiFi connections all at full strength and my data plan which is a great one through AT&T!! FIX YOUR $#!+
