Ratings and reviews

I played the Netflix edition and was able to get through the first story, but the second started glitching out and force closing, so I downloaded this version thinking it would be better. So far I have only been able to fully open the app once, allowing me to get to the menu for selecting a story. I selected the story with Gemma and it said downloading then force closed. Now, I can't even get to the menu without it force closing. It's a shame. I really liked the premise of this game. This sucks!

The game for the most part was great. Very interactive and keeps you interested. Ads are not intrusive. It does take quite a bit to load! I have noticed throughout gameplay there are what appear to be major glitches. Now that I am in S1:Episode 5, I can no longer progress. Nothing but a blank screen after the loading screen (that now won't load). It is just stuck on that screen. Please fix this and I will rate 5 stars! It was pretty fun when it was working!

such a good and fun game! Unfortunately, I cannot get past episode 3, I've replayed ep 2 a few times now and there is always a glitch in Ep3 that forces me to stop. Once, all my messages and ability to message in chat disappeared, and another time I was not able to select the characters with their locations off in the map section. I really love the game, and the writing and acting is so believable compared to similar games. I hope this can be fixed so i can up my rating!
