The mini game is bit riged, making it impossible to pass the first tries. You don't end up winning untill you played the level for various times. First levels are ok, but with time & higher levels, it's quite discouraging to continue playing this game at all. It isn't much about strategy when it's riged. This is probably so the app could make money, which is understandable. Maybe allow more ads to earn coins/lives? Great story, but mini game ruins it. Energy draining. Debating to uninstall.

First off, the story. It isn't bad perse, but there wasn't a moment that stood out to me what so ever, the dialogue choices, even the rude/unhelpful ones weren't really that engaging what so ever. As for the mini games, they get impossible to get through starting with star 1 on file 2, and the amount of coins you need in order to buy more moves is a little ridiculous if you ask me. Overall, I feel like this had the potential to be a good game, but the end result felt very flawed.

Overall story is ok but it's frustrating. Some answers chosen will weaken your relationship with people but the correct answer seemed even worse. The "hack" levels get quite difficult as the story goes on and you get less and less story in between each set of hacks. I've been stuck on this last one for several days and am probably just going to delete the game. I think there are two more levels ahead of this and I doubt they're beatable without spending.

Got boring very quickly because most of the time I was solving puzzles just to continue the story, it seemed interesting, however the puzzles became so tedious and a chore that It was hard for me to come back into the game. I was hoping for an intriguing story but mostly just went through a boring mini game to even experience it. Hopefully this isnt the case in future games so that less people will uninstall and that there wont be a mandatory roadblock that stagnates actual progression.

I loved I am innocent. This game follows a similar path, including one of the most disappointing bugs from I am innocent, sometimes it's literally impossible to win the mini games without paying for extra turns. When a game tells you to break 35 blue blocks, and then only gives you 19 the entire round, it's hard to not feel set up to fail. That aside, the micro payments are premium. If you want to get 5 extra turns on a puzzle it will cost you roughly .90 cents.

Awesome story line but the mini puzzles are basically the same thing the entire time. Its repetitive and frustrating it's all by luck that you pass them and after numerous different ones I am just giving up. I've been trying to collect the stars for 3 days and can't even get one. A great game ruined by the mini puzzle.

I love this game. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The graphics are great the plot is amazing, very easy to follow. I have a life so I the while I am away the lives are gained back so I can play the block game again and continue to unfold the mystery. The difficulty levels of the block game is really nice, also. The only thing I would change is how the daily rewards are given out. I'm not a big fan of how it is now. But congrats on making a great game.

I was having a great time playing until I got to level 26. It is IMPOSSIBLE to win the next levels. I've been stuck on these levels for three weeks now and I'm seriously thinking about deleting the game. It shouldn't be that hard to beat the levels. You get invested in the story but can't go any further because your stuck playing stupid mini games you can't win.

The story line is great, as far as I've been able to progress it is engaging and entertaining. I enjoy the "mobile phone" interaction. The mini-games are fun... up to a point. The difficulty ramps up so fast, that after only one day of playing, I'm basically stuck waiting for lives to refill in the vain hope that I'll just get lucky and pass a mini-game. It appears that even if I spent a lot of real money on power-ups and such, I would still need to be really lucky to pass the mini-games.

Not sure why this is highly rated. The story is mediocre, the dialogue is pretty awful, many of the interactions really have nothing to do with the storyline, and the time between minigames gets shorter and shorter, to the point where sometimes you're literally getting maybe 5 lines of dialogue before you have to go back and solve more puzzles. I'm trying to finish just to see what happens, but it's painful. Has a lot of potential but not executed well.

havent completed the game, or even gotten very far at all. I started "I Am Innocent" and enjoyed that one a lot, so I thought I'd like to try this while I wait for lives on the other one. but, like so many other players said, the mini games are close to impossible to complete unless you pay to get more turns. like, in the other game, you can actually beat the games with a little bit of strategy and some luck, but this one is just complete luck and it's nearly impossible. kinda sad.

couldn't finish it. game is ungodly long. everytime you hack something, you just get two or three tidbits if information to hack something else. way too much puzzle work, and not enough story. which normally I wouldn't mind but these aren't the most fun puzzles. it's just squares. so I never finished because it got boring. had to go ahead and uninstall. let me know if it ended well

Okay. Soon after starting, you have to play puzzle games to be able to continue reading/playing through the story. I successfully did a few of them& have been stuck for a few weeks now, not able to continue with the story until I pass another puzzle game. I'm about to delete the app if I don't pass it after another couple tries.... Disappointing, 4 a "interactive story" app. 😒

It seems that this is exactly the type of game I have been looking for. Almost like a dark web mystery (even if it's not, though the video of the kidnapped girl looks like an auction). All other dark web and/or hacking games don't have a storyline like this. The only issue I have is that you only get one star at a time when you win the mini games. You should get more stars based on how quickly you beat the level. But other than that I'm really enjoying it

The story is interesting, well written, and keeps you guessing as you progress. That said, I wasn't able to finish. The story isn't interesting enough to overcome the frustration and boredom of the *actual* game, which is matching colored blocks. I know a lot of games out there use this mechanic - disguising puzzle games as something else, and I've hated every one of them. This game is no exception. If I wanted to play a puzzle game, I would have downloaded one.

This concept is great, and is fun for the first 20 hours or so of play, but weeks later struggling to finish puzzles to hack clues just to get a new lot of puzzles for hardly any clue rewards, I gave up and googled how it ended. I put in a lot of time and energy only to find out I was only halfway through. So glad I googled the solution. Promptly uninstalled. There's potential here, but the execution just sucks the life out of you.

In all of these games the puzzles completely destroy the immersion of the game. I can get into it then I have to do 30 puzzles and I just get bored and shut it off. Especially when it is made obvious that they make sure you cant get it without buying coins. Gotta make that money off of us for these "free" games. This business model has taken a large toll on gaming. Greed has made it so you have to constantly watch for the next subversive practice to make sure you dont have buyers remorse

The story is great. I hate the luck puzzles. I've been stuck on the same spot for over 6 months. I need 1 star on either lvl 68, 69 or 70 to continue the story or unlock 71. I refuse to pay more money for five additional attempts to clear the level for it to not give me a clear again. I've tried a few times. While I haven't played every day for 6 months, I've been trying multiple times a week every 2 or 3 weeks. It's a shame I won't finish the story as it's behind a pay wall at this point.

kind of awful that the game requires you to collect so many stars playing a difficult game to get info on doctors, and then go through playing even more difficult mini games to collect info on hospital patients all for nothing. both times "collecting that info didn't turn up anything" what a waste. and where is this going? also need an option to free skip the mini game after trying several times. and watch a video to collect more coins.

This game is excellent but could use an "easy mode" or "story mode." I love games like this, and this game is no exception. The story is interesting and the mystery is compelling. My only issue is that the puzzle game is often a little too challenging. I kept thinking after the millionth thing you need to 'hack' that I would pay good money to just be able to skip the puzzles and move on to the very interesting story. I haven't finished the game yet but here's hoping this hack is the last one
