I really enjoyed piecing my way through the world of TR-49. If you like deductive games like Type Help or Return of the Obra Dinn, I think you'd enjoy this one as well. It feels right at home on iPad: swiping through files and operating the machine is super satisfying. The story works its way into your mind, and I find myself thinking about it long after I've finished. I made my way to an ending in an evening, like a novella I couldn't put down.
You have to read tiny text on a flickering, jittery screen that's much smaller than your phone's screen; it's just too much eye strain for me. Not to mention that I have more important things to do with my mind than try to solve contrived puzzles. Deleted and going to request a refund through the App Store (you can do that, y'know).
I almost gave up ten minutes in. Really, really glad I stuck it out. A great, slow burning story with two standout voice actors.
This game is not for the faint hearted. You have to read. Pay attention. Make deductions. Channel your inner Bletchley park analyst. You are only fighting for reality itself.
Spent about an hour with it each evening for 1-2 weeks. Great concept and exploration. In the end the solution and resolution is disappointing.
Interesting game so far, but could you please add the support for cloud saves? Would love to switch between iPhone and iPad to play this.
