DEVICE 6

Ashamed of rating other games five stars. That's literally how good of a game this is. As another reviewer said, it's absolutely perfect as a puzzler because it's just challenging enough for me to have to really think over the hints and clues given throughout the text and in the pictures and yes, even the audio, but not so difficult that I ever had to look up a walk through on the internet (you will NOT be able to progress without the audio, so don't purchase this game if you cannot listen to the audio for whatever reason.) The story is superb, and keeps the game from being JUST a puzzler. I love reading a good book, and I love puzzle games, and this game combines the two in such a nearly flawless manner that I can make no complaints (besides my ADHD keeping me from being able to process the significance of the different devices as they are introduced one at a time throughout the game/story). I've always loved coming back to a book and rereading it later and I believe that I will similarly love coming back to this book in the future. As I said, in the future, I shall be MUCH more hesitant about giving a game a 5 star rating, because this game outshines others so much.

Other reviewers have said enough about Device 6. Its awesome. If you love a good short story then you’ll love this. The story doesn’t reveal overtly (i.e. who are the people controlling the game, what is it that they are doing and why are they sound it?) itself but leaves lots of clues and had me and my son talking about it for a week after we played it. One thing that no one mentioned is the song by Jonathan Eng called Ana. This song is just as amazing as the game and fits so perfectly. The song is great and deserves to be played on the radio. Kinda funny how such a seemingly happy song can give you chills. I kinda want to forget the song and game go together just so I can enjoy it without thinking of evil captures. Still, it works. Just like everything in this game works. My only complaint was I wish there were multiple storylines because it would have been fun to explore the story from different angles. We played it twice just to be sure and all roads lead to the same end. That being said, I hope the developers and writers come out with more high quality games like this.

The devs have updated both this and Year Walk with iPhone X support, and boy am I glad. Both titles are outstanding games made even better on the iPhone X’s larger screen. Incredibly immersive on any decide, Device 6 is a game that deserves your time and attention (and money). Buy it now, go in blind, and enjoy the ride - you’re in for a great experience. Special thanks to Simogo for the quick update supporting new hardware and going the extra mile with the fix; no ugly black bars or poor cropping make this a must-have game on your shiny new iPhone X. Don’t miss out on one of the best mobile games out there! My previous review is below for posterity’s sake. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Don’t buy this game (yet). Let me explain. I always loved Device 6 on my old iPhone, so imagine my disappointment when I unwrap my iPhone X, download Device 6, launch the game, and... nothing happens. Stuck on the launch screen with then game’s logo and no ability to interact or move forward. I want to love this game, and I hate giving a one-star review, but unfortunately for now that’s my only real option - I’m left with an expensive icon, and that’s it. The same thing happened to me with Year Walk. Devs, please update this game. I hear nothing but good things about it, but as of now I can’t say I agree. I look forward to updating this review with a new (working) version of the game.

It's been quite a while since I finished Device 6, and I've tried every game reddit's claimed is similar, but nothing's come close to this...except maybe the dev's other games; Year Walk is also amazing (I drew maps! I downloaded software to better render my maps!), and Sailor's Dream makes the phrase 'hauntingly beautiful' ashamed that it's ever been used to describe anything else (and the soundtrack is 60% of my 'Creepy sleepy music for bedtime' playlist). Still, really, _this_ game is...you know that feeling when you're like suffocating because everything is always mundane and profane, and all you want is something strange and glorious and terrible like Rilke and not like updating spreadsheets or acid reflux? Like you just want to feel like Christmas lights or the moon or the top of a mountain? This game is that. It's air. I like super like it.

First of all I am trying to describe an app that is beyond words. This is an outstanding game/book/what-the-heck-am-I-supposed-to-do? but that is the magical part of it all. Most of the IOS games show you what to do and how to do it and Blah Blah Blah...it’s like they think we are stupid or something (cough cough). Anyway, from the begining you don't know what is going on, then the pieces start to fit together and you’re like, "Yes, I get it!!" You will go through an amazing story and equaling amzaing "Puzzles". But the ending...Oh, the ending is Simply Brilliant. This game will change the way you look at life, love, and the way your younger sister eats her cereal. Yes, this game has little to no replay value but you don't need it; it will completely satisfy you. All this to say... the game is worth it, buy it, injoy it, and never let you youger sister eat cereal again.
