Love it
I’ve played all their games and loved them all. Each new game is an improvement over the earlier ones.
Doesn’t even work
Was excited to play nut doesn’t get you past the first five min
Fun
So far enjoying the story
Interesting concept, very poorly executed
The text speed, for starters, is way too slow even on the fast speed option. Way too much jargon and backstory which you will not understand since it’s $50!!! To unlock the full experience. $50? Are you serious? Or you’re forced to watch ads. The jump from 1 star to unlock the next part to 6?? This is a game called “Dots” (look it up) with a bit of annoying character dialogue. I wasted two hours. Don’t make the same mistake as me.
Please stop the mini games
Everything is good abt the game, except the mini games which keep popping up and u have to pay to get rid of it and continue the game then whats the point of calling it free?? Please fix this.
Realistic
First one of these I’ve tried…
Sucks
Just stuck at the chat where she says she just found a photo on the floor. Nothing works
Orphans
Absolutely loving it
Beware of purposeful game glitches through game play seizure inducing***
This game “would be” great fun for a multiple choice game! However, the glitches can throw you off, I don’t suffer from seizures but I felt like I was about to have one with the constant glitching through game play messages. Fully NOT needed to play the game so that should have been edited out altogether in the game making . It seriously hurts my eyes! Had to look away every time! Terrible choice! The mini games truly suck too! With that being said… I give this game a not so big 2 out of 5 stars for sucking the fun out of it with the mini games, and horrible on purpose glitching of the messages..You almost had it! Sorry, But No… 😕
It’s ok
Needs help with the translations. The lack of slang and natural cadence takes you out of the story. Points for video audio and story
Supernatural
Check it out its fun
No support
I love the game and all of their other games but bought the premium monthly service for $12.99/month and have not gotten any benefit. I have emailed the company and complained to Apple several times With no response. It’s a shame too because I love all of their games and have sent them dozens of customers but this has really ruined the experience for me
DINOSAUR!
Rawr. Good game. Rawr 🦕🦕🦕🦕🦖🦖🦖🦖
Having issues
It won’t let me look at the pictures on the first text message in the game and I can’t go nowhere else.
Great story but bad strategy
The game is no doubt great, the story is engaging and the whole experience feels life like BUT and a big BUT is the mini games. It hinders with the whole realistic feel of the game and to me personally it was a nuisance. If I wished to play a block game I would have played candy crush, I was playing Orphans for the story and feel not the mini games. If you want to keep the mini games at least change the mini game.
جميله ومشوقه
Cool
Not worth the effort
It’s possibly the worst game I’ve ever played. Wanted to test it to see if it was worth paying $40. After buying “Bics” couldn’t move forward in the game pass my chat with Mika telling me to look at a video. I couldn’t even reach out to support due to unsecured server. Don’t waste your time or money!!
Love It!
Great game. Great for passing the time.
Needs a trim and an editor
Nice concept but very slow moving with lots of narrative inconsistencies. Also, the in-game game is buggy and intrusive.
the “hacking” game
i love the story of the game, however i’ve been unable to read further because the mini game i have to complete to continue reading is STILL taking me more than 4 months to complete, i do not want to spend a penny on the game but id love to play it. the mini games are unbearable. im giving up on even trying all together and just uninstalling
Amazing
Funnn
Blah
All it is is reading texts. It’s so slow and just all around not fun or even interesting. The mini games are all the same dot game and it’s just ridiculous. Deleting.
Good game
Good game
Mini games
Well I’m not able to say much about the actual game itself. Within the first few mini games you have to play to unlock the story it became nearly impossible to beat them. It makes it seem like the game forces you to have to pay the money to continue on with the story. I know these games take a lot of time and hard work to make, but I’ve played other games like this and haven’t had this hard of a time with the mini games. They’re so hard it has made me want to just delete the game. Maybe I’d be convinced to pay the money if I had more of the storyline to go off of but $12 a month or $40 is kind of insane for a game I don’t even know if I’d end up liking
Game
Yup really love this game thank you
Thrilling!
Really fun game. The interaction is what makes is so good. This is the second game that I’ve played and it doesn’t disappoint!
Was fun until the pay wall
Unless you’re willing to pay, you’ll end up playing the mini-games more than the actual game itself. They are required for the progression of the story but are impossible without a mixture of luck, watching ads, and extensive amount of time given. I don’t mind if the developing team wants to make money off of this, but I wish they provided a more realistic “free version” or just let people know outright that they will need to pay. At first I was having fun and enjoying the game, then it simply became frustrating and felt like a waste of time (because I tried repeatedly to beat the minigames). I’m going to delete the app now, but if you are willing to pay, I think you will really enjoy the story!
!!
it’s really good i just wish we could earn coins faster
Bored Already…
Honestly, expected so much from this from all the reviews, literally bored out of mind with the big build up and barrage of messages to get going… right okay get the gist, just get on with it already! Deleting this unfortunately as I’m only up to joining the group and them setting up their cameras .. too slow🥱 🙄
Fun game
Enjoyed!
Love it!
I got the author's chat after I tried leaving the group! I have played The Sign so I became familiar with Daniel, Tim and Carsten. Thanks for bringing some of the characters I love back. Would be awesome if the games recognized save data on the device so we could have familiar chats instead of being strangers again.
takes forever
the story takes a forever to get to the point and everyone texts in these annoying half sentences. one of the guys said horror is “a mans thing” and that seemed sexist to me. want to be able to be friends with leon. he’s the only normal one. sick of the pointless conversations, and you can only chose agreeable or corny dialogue options unless you pay 12 dollars. i couldn’t even be bothered to make it through the full game, but i couldn’t even tell that no matter what gender options i chose, it would force me to be attracted to mikka, and i dont like mikka.
So far so good
I haven’t been playing long but I’m enjoying it so far.
Good game, ruined by trash minigames
The game looks fun but the minigames are made hard for no f reason lmao. And after every minigame there is an ad Honestly I’ll quit this game midway if the minigames get worse.
Hacking game is awful
At first it seems like a fun idea to play a mini game but when the storyline gets repeatedly interrupted by it, then it spoils the fun. And it’s not like the mini game is easy to complete either! It’s so annoying to complete the mini game tasks, the number of moves are really low when the possible combinations are very less. And it’s so tiring to wait for the hearts to refill when it does not do anything to the actual storyline. I eventually got frustrated and deleted without finishing even the first few episodes. My advice/request is to either completely remove that stupid game and replace it with something else or to make it lot easier to solve!
Love game
This is my third game love the way it’s made love the hacking love people characters all around fine way to spend my time
Flat rates never work.
Second game I’ve purchased flat rate and not got what I purchased. Cant even contact you as it says site not secure.
Amazing
Amazing
Boring and a money trap
This game is so slow and boring, nothing happens for hours of game play. Even when you pay for a subscription you have to spend a lot of time on a boring puzzle game just to move forward… why am I paying if I have to watch ads!? This had a lot of potential but it burnt me out, it’s so boring!! I’m here for a horror game, not a group chat that goes absolutely nowhere. Sorry guys, not my thing, this isn’t a game, just a bystander watching imaginary people chat. Don’t offer subscriptions if I still have to play arbitrary games that are not related to the main game at all, makes this all feel like a con job.
Good game but…..
Story is really good but then hacking part is making it irritating as it doesn’t get solved easily and we have to wait before starting story again
Interesting
It’s an interesting concept but it seems to be getting good. Liking the story so far!
It was all going so well until
I was getting so into this game, it’s really good and then the ‘mini games’ appeared, at first they were fine, a bit annoying but then they got to the point of ridiculous, and then I ran out of lives but don’t worry! It’s just £12.99 to get some lives back… what a con, I’d rather be interrupted by adverts, shame on the developers.
Great game so far
I was a little skeptical cause of some of the reviews but im actually having a lot of fun with just the free version yes the puzzle minigames are tricky but not too bad
was great at first but you need to spend money to continue
I have been getting into the game, however to excel you need to complete the hacking mini games. The were easy at first but now they are near to impossible to complete. You can watch adds to get more moves but only a select amount of times and then you run out and the only way to continue is to spend money. Really disappointed as I was really getting in to the story.
Panne de jeux??
Je n’arrive plus à ouvrir le jeux !! Meme dans le Apple store , je suis rendu a l’étape 5 et je veux pas désinstaller le jeu et tout perdre!
Love this game
It’s probably my favorite game of this genre. I play as much as I can.
Ouff
C’est un jeu vraiment intéressant qui me tient en haleine pour savoir ce qu’il va arriver par la suite et imaginer je viens à peine de commencé à jouer vraiment captivant 👍
Mini games to continue
I love the concept and story but I didn’t like the mini game you have to do to earn stars to continue the story.
Orphans
Not sure what is actually going on with this game I’ve been playing for an hour and still just having a pretend texting conversation and I got to do a join the dots game to receive a pretend hacked video. Hoping that it will get better
…
Is it just me or did the loading take forever like the game is great but the loading is not
