its amazing but once you get to question 9 it wants you to pay to keep going.. i don’t have money to pay..
Not paying for Ai
When I first heard about this game I thought it sounded fun so I decided to get it without checking the reviews. Honestly big mistake because as soon as I opened the app I was met with subscriptions and Ai everything. It’s lazy and doesn’t really make it any better that you have to pay at least 5.99 just to play the game. 0/10
im not paying to continue.
the game overall was fun, however once you get to the ninth question, it makes you pay to continue. don’t waste your time if you’re not willing to pay.
THERE WASNT A ZERO STAR OPTIONS
they tried extorting my last 5 dollar bill i had to choose between feeding my daughter and getting this subscription, iam now in overdraft and thr bank kept threatening me to close my account.
Makes you pay for all of the questions.
I was answering question 9 with the first couple, and none of the answers were working. It was an easy one so I KNOW it was correct. The app kept telling me to buy stalkiepro. It wants you to pay for all of the full questions. So you can never fully complete one of the stories. Completely scammy.
Legal?
#1 The developers are stealing real humans photos and using it in their game mixed with AI. The problem is they do not own copyright and yet they’re charging users to further interact with the game, legally they can be sued because again THEY DO NOT HAVE THE COPYRIGHT TO USE PHOTOS AND MONETIZE FOR PROFIT.
nah man
it lets you get through have of an episode before it won’t let you play until you pay some amount of money. It lets you get close to finishing then won’t let you untill you pay. not worth the money.
Was a cool concept for game
Except you have to pay to finish stories and I will never pay for a game that uses AI. Uninstalling with the quickness
it should be free
do i even have to explain
Sucks
Didn’t let me finish the episode without paying. Also uses ai.
Pay Wall smh
I love the concept of this game and it’s really fun! I just hate how it’s not free and won’t even let you complete at least one story. I feel like I wasted my time since I didn’t know you had to pay to unlock the full thing until i got to question 13 and it kept trying to make me pay even though my answer was RIGHT!
Don’t get
This game is terrible it’s fun at first but then it acts really crazy for example i got a question that was asking what he wanted engraved on her ring I literally copied and pasted it because typing wasn’t working and it still didn’t work this game is fun for a second then it just becomes a nuisance
Does not deserve 4.6 average
After a while you have to pay money(6 dollars) just to continue the game. Plus it uses ai. Could’ve been such a good game but ofc too good to be true
Ai slop
The game is just Ai trash. Question are to east to answer and after 9 questions they expect you to pay for everything beyond. It’s understandable if a real person made it, but it’s extremely hard to believe this wasn’t fully made by ai. Also paying for something with advertisement for apps and company’s riddled through emails and apps is so beyond unreasonable to me. There are ads built into the game that they want you to pay for. The little time you are allowed to play for free they advertise thing such as tinder, air bnb, the Simpson, Nike, family guy, and many many more things
Some of which you can not answer the questions without interacting with. Over all a complete scam and just unbelievable that they are trying to charge people for it.

bad game
one they have ai, two they make us pay 6 dollars A WEEK just to finish the chapter?? horrible. follow me on roblox for more reviews ❤️
Expensive
You should not have to pay the amount of money you do to finish on episode it is stupid
Annoying
I was playing a talkie and I was doing Julia and Thomas it was very fun and then I get to question 9 wondering the answer bc if kept saying “your so close to the truth” so I got tired of it and searched the answer up on TikTok and noticed I js had to pay for it and it was so annoying so I don’t reccomend this game I play a different one called pay Lisa it’s better then this
BFFRL
yall know yall dead wrong for charging. Got me over here thinking im telling this lady the wrong answer whole time yall just want me to pay gone head on.
This actually sucks
you can go past question nine without paying it’s not a real challenge and they used AI
Can’t move to the next step
I definitely wrote the correct answer but it declined 😱
Bad
I couldn even finish couple things without asking for money also telling me wrong answers when its right than the pay me think ... Whatever
Good but not worth it
You can’t finish even a single episode fully without having to pay. It’s fun don’t get me wrong, but I feel like if there was an option for the people who don’t want to pay, this app would go a long way.
Waste of time
Fun concept but you can’t even complete one story for free and the subscription is ridiculously overpriced. Please just put ads in the game because no one is paying 6 dollars a WEEK for a cheaply made game filled with offputting AI images.
Ew
Crazy generative ai usage. Don’t recommend
Not the most ethical
The game uses AI for everything and the owner is scamming UGC creators to promote the app and doesn’t pay them
Money hungry
You can only do half of the clues before it makes you pay. Not worth it since it won’t let you go through a whole story.
Don’t waste your time
You have to pay for this game. If you don’t you can only get to question 9, on the first level. $5.99 a week. Ridiculous.
Waste of money
You can’t even finish a full episode, and what are you even paying for? Someone to type a prompt into ChatGPT and do most of the work for them? So greedy and selfish. If I’m gonna pay for something like this it’ll be someone’s hard work I’m paying for, not lazy slop
subscription 🙄
i actually rlly like the concept of this game but i can’t even get past the first scenario without hitting a paywall.
Not mad just disappointed 🙁
I was so excited to play this and really got into, until I couldn't finish even the first story bc I had to pay. I understand u guys need a profit but just do ads or something. As a college student I'm not paying 6 dollars a WEEK to play a game. I deleted the game because of this please just make it free or just charge to download the game.
Why isn’t it downloading?
So I’m waiting to download it but it’s been a few days since I’ve downloaded it and it’s still hasn’t downloaded like what please help me guys
Dumb tbh
U literally have to pay 😭like a subscription not even once a month if you wanna buy the cheap one it's 6$ just for a week like that's insanity smh 🧘🏽♀️
hustler
was so much fun and then it made me pay before i could solve the mystery. it wasnt even rhat fun
U need to pay to finish
I mean the game is really good but u can’t even finish 1 singular episode because u have to pay to finish it🤦🏾♀️
I’m not paying for a game.
Plain and simple I won’t pay to play a game.
Lowkey waste of time
Don’t get me wrong- the game is great…in theory. But you can’t even finish a whole episode without paying and all the photos are ai which sucks because generative ai is so bad for the environment. It seems so cool but you can’t do much without paying. Not worth it to me.
no pictures load
For some reason, 3 of the stories have photos that wont load disallowing me from doing anything because the answers are in the pictures!!
Dumb
They will literally still charge your card, even though you are not subscribed to them anymore. I had unsubscribed from them way before my card would need to be charged and they still charged me for it.
Stupid
I don’t like this game it makes me pay after question 8 freaking bull
Pay To Play…
It’s alright, pay to play, and I’m not paying, as a lot of people probably won’t. You get to answer about 9 basic questions before the game asks you to pay weekly or for a year to keep playing. So I probably wouldn’t waste time and save your money.
i got so far into an episode then it popped up and said you have to pay to continue
dumb
do not buy
this app is great in theory but a lot of the time it doesn’t except your answers even when they are correct and then you can’t move on. i paid to have access to the whole app and have tried to reach out to request a refund or ask for help but have gotten no response. i’m stuck on three different episodes because the answer is saying it’s incorrect even when it is very clearly correct and the hint says the info is where i found it.
Pay
I hate that all everyone wants now is money. it is ridiculous that you can’t even finish the first series of this unless you pay. Definitely will be deleting. Game is not gold enough to buy a subscription
disappointed.
I love the app
but of course you have to pay which is super disappointing i just wanted to play and i’m not willing to spend money on this app im super sad because i finally found a game i like but cant play because i can’t afford it
so definitely a disappointment.

don’t bother downloading
Literally a waste of time. you go in and can only answer 9/15 questions before you have to pay to finish… they don’t even let you finish the first story and if you don’t wanna pay you’re stuck so you might as well delete it. story is also not even that good for the price
FREE
MAKE IT FREE‼️‼️
It was something…
I wanted to play, I have heard really good things about this app but it never let me in the app. This might be a glitch but I can’t even play it.
Would be better if free.
It is a good idea of a game but you have to pay to play and game uses so much ai, the hints could be better. In all if it were free and just a little better set up (and used a lot less ai) it would be a lot more enjoyable.
pay to play??
This game started off as fun and exciting but when i was on my 10th question it told me i had to pay 20-30 dollars to unlock it everything this game could be fun if it wasn’t so pay to play
Opinion
I think this is a great game and you get so invested but then once u get super I and it starts getting good you have to pay and y can no longer keep going
