Interesting but flawed

This is an interesting if incredibly depressing game in many ways. I do wish there were a way to replay the ending and see the other possible choices, since I disliked some of the puzzles in the last section immensely and don’t really want to replay them. I do not recommend this if you can’t handle really really depressing storylines, however.

Great but annoying bug

This is fantastic! Unfortunately, there is currently a bug that re-sets my progress to the beginning of The Preventer every time I close my app or change profiles. Please fix!

Brilliant

narrative puzzle game.

A really nice departure

This was a really unexpected departure from the developer of 10000000 and YMBaB. I played those years ago and they were iOS perfection. I've fallen off playing games since the App Store is no longer like its golden days for original games, but this reminded me of that era while being a unique and fun experience.

Great game, but no help if you’re stuck

I absolutely loved this game. Very original and unique, great graphics and stories. It’s the kind of game you don’t want to put down. But unfortunately, I had to stop playing when I got to the last story. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t get past the odd puzzles. Kind of like a match 3 game combined with Rock Paper Scissors, and as much as I like puzzle games, this part made no sense to me. If there had been any sort of hint or help functionality, I would have given 5 stars for sure.

Simple games with short, deep story

The 5 vignettes tell deep stories for the very simple mechanics (mini)game mechanics. A game about second chances with redeemable characters.

Really wanted to love this but....

Ok so I read the reviews about the stories being depressing and thought well what do those people know?!? And the stories are beyond depressing...they’re macabre with blood and awful outcomes. Would have loved to play and would be 5 stars if the stories weren’t so dark. Loved the concept and pixel photos but believe the creator could have provided a better experience with stories that were not so dark. Ultimately not a winner and not worth the money.

A masterpiece

This game is truly a masterpiece for mobile gaming. The stories draw you in, getting you emotionally involved, while the puzzles challenge you and help to unfold the story line. I had to look up one puzzle to help me solve it, it can be difficult at times. But it’s an offline game so is great to take on a long plane ride, and the commentary feature is incredible. Coming from a game development background, it’s so cool to hear how the developer chose to do certain things to advance the story or

Great, Unique game

The puzzles are good but the story telling is what makes this a great game. No complaints.

Depressing stories

I wish I had read the reviews that these stories are so depressing and macabre! I regret buying these. It looked so whimsical but it’s sooo depressing and the other puzzles aren’t interesting or fun.

🤝👌🏻👏🏻

Although I’m much more a fan of match-3 battling RPG’s like #ymbab rather than somewhat level repetitive hit n miss/trial and error puzzling type games...this one is just nothing less than spectacularly good! Occasionally new levels/stories would be appreciated though.

Just OK

The puzzles are different enough to keep you interested, but I wouldn’t call it a “fun” game. I played it for a half day and deleted it because it quickly became more of a chore than anything else. Plus it’s rather sad, not great for someone with anxiety/depression.

👎 should only be 99¢ 👎

Very easy puzzles. If you are good at puzzles you will cruise through this game. I only got stuck for a few minutes twice. The stories were depressing but predictable which takes away from the experience. Still it is a unique game and i liked the graphics. If they make a second one i might play it but not for $3.99. This game should be no more than 99¢.
