| 2024-12-11 |  | | This is unique.The background music adds another dimension to this game. I really liked this game!!! If you love to enjoy challenging horror games but have become bored to fight or do other fighting or assembling stuff then this game is made for you. It will challenge you but in a dramatic and metaphoric way. It will play with you with its words and of course, will offer you unexpected turns. But you need to be patient for enjoying its unexpected and wonderful surprises..!! |
| 2024-12-06 |  | | It seems unique, but the speed of the text is not for me, I did not manage to read all, and some text isn't repeating, I actually didn't dive deep in this But it was good at putting the atmosphere right |
| 2024-11-24 |  | | If you're not familiar with the kind of games Ice-Pick Lodge make, you're probably not going to like it much. It is, as with every one of their projects, highly experimental and very unique. An interesting and very cool experience, for sure |
| 2024-11-21 |  | | It actually was an uncomfortable but immersive game so far, that it's piqued a lot of my curiosity as I kept playing, but like other Android users, there's a bug that's been particularly ignored and not patched yet which is the part where she said she would "hug you," and there's a phrase she obviously wants you to say, but it goes back to where the narrator says "careful, you might scare her off" constantly. I do hope that the developers can get back to updating the game, but it'll be a while. |
| 2024-11-03 |  | | "Franz doesn't feel like a real person." Then you have no idea what mental illness is like! She is so obviously mentally ill and requires deeper thinking to understand. I'm tired of people on here not giving this game a chance just because they lack media literacy. If her driving you out of the app annoys you, then don't play games like this. If you find it annoying, then stop playing media that requires more than 1% of ur COD/fortnite rotted brain. 4 stars bc of hug bug, pls fix |
| 2024-09-02 |  | | The long wait is suffocating and the touching system is tough , I don't want to hit her but struggling to touch results in a weird outcome. Having to be kicked out of the app and dealing with the app permissions and privacy policy was the last straw. I am here to play not to be bothered. I like the physiological aspects but the gameplay itself and the app aren't the best sorry. |
| 2024-08-11 |  | | So far, this game is simple yet complex, at first glance it's not much but as you keep on going you'll find that it has many layers, the game also is quite good at getting the player's full attention, from the music to the visuals it's all entertaining to the player, it gets them into a trance while the questions and thoughts provoke thoughts in the player's mind, the game is a reflection of who's playing it, it makes you confront yourself while also giving you breaks to think about your actions |
| 2024-07-07 |  | | Bug being ignored, It's a shame coz I was enjoying the game and keen to keep going but there's a bug not very far into the game (the hug bug) several users have commented and contacted support (myself included) and haven't heard anything back. I gave it a few weeks before leaving a review because I didn't want to criticise them before seeing for myself if I got a response or if it was fixed etc but it's broken and the developers don't seem to be engaged with the app |
| 2024-06-27 |  | | I hate to give this a bad review since I'm enjoying it so far, but I like many others an stuck in a dialogue loop of Franz wanting to hug me. I've seen one person online saying they ignored her for a few days and she gave them a way out, but that's... really not very intuitive. I've heard other people talking about events that haven't happened for me so clearly you can get past it, but I'm seriously struggling here. Maybe it's only an issue with the Android version? |
| 2024-06-13 |  | | The game so far is pretty good. I'm not too far in so I don't really know how much my opinion's worth though. From what I've seen, it's pretty unique, and unlike anything else I've played. I still have no idea what I'm really doing... Buy maybe that's just because I'm dumb 😅. Before I can determine whether or not I'd recommend this to others, I'd really have to play more; although it really just depends on the person playing: different strokes for different people I guess. |
