About this game

NoStranger is not a game, it's a conversation.
As the app opens, you receive a message from a stranger.
But by the end of your experience, you will know his name, his motivation, and his dark secret.

You will be led on a user-choice-driven narrative; searching through blogs, contacting the story’s characters, and scouring social media websites to find out more. Through real-time conversation, you will delve deep, and sometimes not so deep ;), exploring the interconnectedness of our virtual world.

With inspiration from titles such as LifeLine and Her Story,
​NoStranger uses real websites, phone numbers, and videos to create a believable, immersive experience.

Trigger Warnings: This narrative includes topics of suicide and violence.

This is the most amazing game I have EVER played on my phone. I was hooked the entire time. And it felt EXTREMELY real, sometimes I forgot I was even playing a game. Most games like this just have puzzles, but with this one, you have to dig through real websites to find the information, and I love that. You can definitely tell that so much thought went into this game. It's 100% free, unless you want to pay for no ads or additonal hints. The game even offers to cut wait time if you watch ads!

The game keeps starting over at a certain point and no matter how much I try to progress, it will not move on from that particular part. I would love to play the game but it will not let me move forward. Edit: The update has fixed the game, which is great, but now ads popup during gameplay every 1-3 minutes, which is annoying as they get in the way. Still an interesting game so far though.

Absolutely AMAZING. Honestly, when I finished it I couldn't wait to come and give a review,, which I don't do for most games. This srsly exceeded expectations, it started off normally but got really immersive and DANG this was well written. Subtle hints to make you notice something is amiss but not totally catch on until it all comes together. Did I mention I really loved the ending?? One thing I would suggest is to allow players to watch ads to reduce the time tho? But otherwise awesome job!!!

Thank you for the awesome review! We used to allow ads to skip the waiting times but they were pretty glitchy and we ended up removing them.
