A point-and-click puzzle game that will make you think differently.
Search the phone, join clues, cross dates… a true investigation work, done using only your phone. A creative way to tell a story and leave you completely immersed in it.

Final Thoughts – Analyzing the game as a whole

Graphics and UI

It’s an Android cell phone, but with pixel art.
It’s even hard to explain, but everything is very simple and functional, the focus isn’t on the artwork, but on its stalker actions! hahahaha

The UI and HUD are just like those of an Android cell phone. Seriously, it’s not hard to understand.

Soundtrack and Sound Effects

The game practically has no sound, but I found that good because it leaves you very focused.
At any moment, a notification sounds and you start running to see what it’s about.
You can choose a background music, but they’re calm. For this type of game, it worked very well.

Gameplay

A click here, another there… easy and intuitive. As I mentioned earlier, you’re inside a phone and use only that in the entire game.

In a subtle and didactic way, it teaches us how the “art” of blackmailing works and how the government can be manipulative. It’s also interesting to see how your opinion changes throughout the game, showing well how easy we are to influence.

I played the game in Portuguese and I found it great! You can play without worrying about senseless translations or accentuation issues. It’s probably the same for languages other than English.

Replayability and Game Retention

The gameplay is short, but it will make you want to play over and over again to explore the different endings.
