Ratings and reviews

The story is interesting, and I enjoyed the puzzles and scares. But there are two things I have an issue with. You can't manually save, which is really annoying and can set you back in your progress. And the timed responses are awful. I process things slower, and the timed responses made it almost impossible for me to understand what was going on. They should've made the time longer or gotten rid of it all together.

This game has been really fun so far! I've played through a few times to get different endings... I've noticed some bugs though. If something pops up, like a new notification, but you're already clicking on something else, the whole game will freeze. It's happened so often that rn I'm stuck on a part that I've had to restart several times and it always freezes after I go through the whole "scene", being forced to start it all over again. Hopefully it gets patched soon!

I'm having a great time with the game so far. The story is compelling and makes me want more. That being said, I do have two gripes: The autosave seems to be random. If your game were to crash or you have to leave the app , you will lose all of the progress you had up until that point. Add manual saving, or increase the amount of autosaves. Timed Texts are too fast to read. I'm a fast reader, but that was too fast. Slow down the response time. Fix the issues, and I will increase my rating.
