no choices terrible LoTR style ending

It's a fun experience using this found phone to solve puzzles, though you can never do the obvious solutions like calling people on another device, contacting the police. The ending takes up about a quarter of the game as you have a conversation with a long-winded supernatural force. There are four endings based on how you interact with this force at the end of the game but because of the save mechanics, the only way to see the other endings is to restart the game from the beginning and have that long @ss conversation with the force all over again. The does not allow you to minimize to check other sites for answers. I like to watch movies on a second monitor while i play games. That is also not allowed with this game. Luckily, I only got stuck a little towards the end. The game mostly tells you what to do. I would have preferred if the player had a gender, name or some kind of character. The choices made by this character are nothing like what I would have done, so an alter ego would have felt better. That said, it was certainly original and it's fun snooping through someone else's phone and texting people that think you are a pretty girl. I think I will eventually play the sequels but I hope they cleaned up some of these problems

Short and sweet

I own this game on Steam (works flawlessly with SteamPlay, should work with Wine as well), and I've enjoyed playing it. It's a narrative driven game involving going through someone's communications (think of something like Orwell, but with direct interaction with other characters, and much better executed), and it takes around 4-5 hours to play through the first time. The game tries to capture contemporary social media driven world, and it seems to do it well enough, at least from the point of view of someone who doesn't use it. Puzzles don't get in the way, there are 3 endings, and the final conversation is pretty enjoyable. The replay value is there, especially with the new game+ mode that speeds up in-game text to avoid waiting through the same conversations. The game keeps track of choices you make and keeps statistics of how people play through the game, which makes for a pretty interesting summary.

Good interactive story

If you do not like FMV Phone/Interactive story (Or whatever they are called) games then you wont enjoy this game at all. The story is good. Not groundbreaking but it was good to me. I haven't played a lot of Interactive phone games but the gameplay was pretty nice to me. It is like one review says, there is a false sense of free will but what do you expect? It is a game just like any other. None of them has true free will in terms of story progression. The fact that this game does really good to immitate real life phones, apps and websites, gives it an amazing experience in my opinion.

Fun game. But...

I only wish it allowed me to be more evil. I made a lot evil choices but they didn't seem harsh enough. While I had a ton of fun manipulating other characters for my entertainment, I wish I could have done more (Like calling the cops on Greg and framing him or framing Ashley for kidnapping due to her jealousy etc) Oh well!
