Press reviews: “It’s almost like magic with how drastically the narrative can change just by swapping a single word here or there” ***** – TouchArcade “It’s eerie, creepy, and is all the better when used with headphones under a blanket with the lights off” recommended – TapSmart “The scale is inebriating, feeding a compulsion to see just how many invisible junction points connect one character's reality to another's” featured – Eurogamer
