The story: Alex is a bright, rebellious teenager who brings her new stepbrother, Jonas, to an overnight party on a strange, old military island. But the senior-year tradition takes a scary turn when she stumbles upon the island’s cryptic past in this World War II-inspired supernatural narrative. GamesBeat calls this award-winning thriller "a big next step for adventure games."

• Contact the supernatural: Rumor has it that if you stand in just the right spot, you can use a radio to tune into a scary station that doesn't exist on Edwards Island. Turn the radio dial, activating ways to save your friends and communicate with ghosts.

• Forge or destroy bonds — your choices matter: Will you encourage your best friend to ask out his crush? Can you close the distance between yourself and your new stepbrother? Be mindful — your choices will impact your relationships and inform how you tackle supernatural threats.

Create your story again and again, with multiple endings driven by your narrative choices.

Ratings and reviews

Love the art style. Great storyline that's based on your responses to conversations/ actions. Controls are simple (tap or tap and drag to move), but the tap and drag option could be smoother/faster/higher touch sensitivity. Map is cute (with current obj. as notes), but would benefit from more zoom options for those with difficulty reading small letter. Definitely a semi-quick game worth playing (finished in about 5.5 hours).

Make sure you play this with reliable wifi for the two additional data downloads. I lost dialogue for one chapter (after messing up the first upload,) but the game fixed itself after that. I played because the game x2, because it loops, just like how time does in the game. The second+ run(s) has cool differemces as your character, Alex, begins to get some serious déjà vu from your first run through. There are some challenging parts, but Google is your friend.

I loved the game until i got past the cave. The main character and her step brother ended up at the towery woods. Then, it stopped showing or saying anything the step brother said. It just showed options for me to reply even with not knowing what he was saying. No sounds or captions were shown when i talked either, it only showed options to choose from. I assumed maybe it was glitching and wasn't loaded right so i got out and got back in and it wasn't fixed. I restarted my progress, same thing.
