Ratings and reviews

The game experience is good. But adding more missions/cases/tasks is a must, as the playtime of the game is just 10mins on a game of size 760MB. A few things I noticed: The game screen doesn't auto rotate when you flip the phone 180 degrees. I guess the game needs more optimization, the phone is getting slightly heated, I am using Huawei mate 20Pro, which is a decent phone. The movement can be slightly better, sometimes it's hard to understand that should I use the pad or move my phone.

the controls are incredibly difficult to deal with because the angle is controlled by tilting the phone but you can still look around by using the onscreen "joystick". there is voiceacting with no subtitles whatsoever and the general gameplay mechanics feel unprecise. I only played for a few minutes because it was way more frustrating than fun

Fun and interesting gameplay but somewhat limited. There's only a couple of locations to visit and not much to do once you're there. The controls to move around in the game were also a bit tricky to manipulate. A good start but I completed it in under an hour and it doesn't really lend itself to repeated gameplay.
