Scriptic: Crime Stories

I didn’t have much hope for this one. I expected it to just be your average text-based stat using game or one that you would have to spend a ton of money on. But, it’s far more complex (and cheaper) than that. I adore the storytelling and the way that everything feels so immersive. The voice acting is great too! I’ve noticed that a lot of our responses don’t really count towards the overall story, but that’s okay! Not everything has to have a different ending. Great game, and I hope there’s more stories soon, but I understand that producing good-quality content is expensive and time-consuming. I do think more people would be encouraged to play if there was a way to get coins through watching advertisements or something free, but that’s just my opinion. Try it for yourself! :)

This was an experience that I haven’t experienced in an app before, let alone a free one. This game was amazing. It was fun, interesting, and there were turns at every corner. This review will not spoil anything. I love the message it sends to the player. As a white woman in America, I can only see the experience of a black person through stories from the news/black people themselves or through a bystander perspective. While I will never truly understand, I loved having that extra perspective and information that I saw through this game. Thank you for making this and thank you for making more people aware of racial privilege and things that come with it. That being said, this game was absolutely awesome and I can’t even begin to talk about how this amazing game is free. Thank you for that 💙 I can’t wait for season 2!!

I really loved playing this game, it’s got amazing storytelling and it has just enough suspension to keep you wanting to know what’s going to happen next. They do a great job with the plot twists and the red herrings but the few issues I’m having with this game is that for some reason I couldn’t hear the volume at all even when I turned my volume all the way up. Plus sometimes when I enter the group chats, it would open up at the start of the chat which would cause me to scroll down to the most recent messages. It also makes it seem like a video was posted over and over again on the chat of the victim’s phone and you would have to try to scroll all the way down until the chat would become more active again. Also, the ending for episode 3 seems to be bugged as when you reach the ending, it doesn’t take you to the end credits like it did with the other episodes and it took me a day to realize that I had finished episode 3. The same seems to happen for the last episode because at the end, (if you do the good ending for the alt) it takes you to a news article about the arrests of the killers but it won’t let me click off which was annoying. Overall, great if not amazing storytelling but it needs to work on some bugs in the game. Also the episodes seem to be for only season 1 so I’m guessing there’s going to be a season 2? If so, can’t wait til it comes out!
