User Reviews for The Company Game

Clever but ultimately invasive

There are some seriously interesting uses of the iPhone’s technology at work here that I haven’t seen done elsewhere. However, there’s a reason for that: such usage is incredibly invasive. For example, the game will suddenly start flashing your phone’s camera light or require you to change the date/time settings on your iPhone or maximize the volume, etc. I was luckily playing at home but if something like the camera light flashing happened in public it would have been a problem, and having to change the settings of my phone is a bit uncomfortable.Ultimately, I decided to call it quits when the game asked me to “run.” I live in an apartment in a city, and while I tried running back and forth a bit (as well as trying to trick the phone by shaking it, etc), nothing worked. There’s really nowhere for me to go “run” and frankly I have no interest in trying to make it happen. I think it’s an unfair ask of the player, a situation where the game’s cleverness gets the better of it.So, kudos for the concept, there’s some serious outside-the-box thinking here. I don’t think this really works in execution, though.

Absolutely incredible!

I never write reviews, but this game is AMAZING. It’s so hard to find games that will actually challenge you like this one does. There are so many different types of puzzles & you definitely put your phone to work! Ever since I finished the game I can’t stop recommending it to my puzzle-loving friends. You should definitely expect a challenge here; you’re going to have to think in ways you normally wouldn’t. The mystery in the lack of instructions really set the tone for me; it’s part of what makes this game so intriguing. All in all, if you love puzzles & you’re not afraid of a challenge I HIGHLY recommend this game. It will surprise you at every level and leave you impatiently waiting for the next chapter! Can’t wait for SAIL!

Premium Puzzler

Someone described this as a mashup of The Guides, Blackbox, and Device 6 - which is a pretty apt description. Overall, the puzzles are easier than The Guides, and there isn’t the relentless emphasis on code-breaking from that game. It uses the motion sensor and device settings like Blackbox, but takes it to another level of engagement. It shares some puzzle elements with Device 6 and much of the paranoia as well. I’m impressed with how sophisticated but ultimately intuitive the puzzles are. It’s not a flawless experience however; sometimes it crashes, the soundtrack shuts off, and the controls and animation can slow down or freeze up. A reboot fixes it every time. It’s an ambitious game, and for that reason, I’m willing to overlook some of the bugs.

Great

The game is amazing. No doubt about it. I’ve only spent money on iPhone games for this and two other apps, but this still was by far my best purchase. I love the whole gimmick and most of the puzzles are truly challenging. However, I’m on level ten of the new SAIL part (which I was so excited to have come out!) and I think there might some sort of glitch, for two reasons: One, ***SPOILER WARNING*** the M File doesn’t work after going in only twice. (Though I’m pretty sure the dev is aware of that because of the “if crash” message that always pops up.) Secondly, level ten is impossible for me to pass. Either that, or I’m being painfully stupid. I’ve gotten no little green dots next to levels, except level nine, which opened the box in the M File. The thing, when I try to translate the dots inside of shapes, only works for the one dot inside of the square. Well, to be more precise, none of the other shape and dot combinations work, except for all those involving the square. ***END OF SPOILERS*** I don’t know if this is a glitch (and to be honest, I hope it’s not, so get I can have that nice “aha!” moment when you figure out the answer) or I’m missing something, but I’ll keep trying. Overall, though, amazing.

Simple Privacy Solutions

**Update - Enter ‘ap1992’ as your name to get past the camera/gps access request. Beware this does change the intended experience. They’ve updated the game description to include mention that camera and gps are required but the website still has no privacy policy page.This kid is gonna be rich, he developed a heck of a game, I’d have given it 4-5 stars if not for the privacy policy missing entirely._____________________________The privacy policy is bunk, their website doesn’t list one. I should have read the reviews first and now I’m out $2. If you don’t want to give access to your camera and location you aren’t allowed to play. (Btw I don’t have twitter and your website won’t let me contact you without enabling cookies and JavaScript)After reading the responses to others who complained about this it’s all for gameplay purposes but this should have easily been resolved. 1. You do not need gps to track movement, something people running in place noticed when they couldn’t progress. I have location services disabled entirely and my phone can still record my steps... I’m holding a pedometer!2. Camera is tricky because it’s for more than simple photos but they have a way to bypass it already so why not let the player opt out at the start with a warning?

Impossible to get past one level on my iPhone :(

I would definitely give this game a 4 or even a 5 star but some of the things are impossible to do due to my phone blocking some things like changing my phones date to automatic from manual so it is impossible to pass that level so I feel like I wasted the money on this game and I am incapable of doing anything to change this because of the block. Other than only being able to get past the first ten levels or so it’s a great game and if your phone doesn’t block this (CHECK BEFORE BUYING!!!) then you should definitely get this game if there is still a way to get past the level that would be great or I may just have to email apple and ask for a refund! Good luck with passing all these tricky levels though :)

Amazing

Amazing game. Definitely some phone functions I had off that made levels a bit harder than they should’ve been. Thanks Polaroid 😂 stuck on 15 and I’m now learning extraterrestrial arithmetic. Probably way off on what I actually need, but now I’m interested in that too lol.Edit: I’m not on the last level. Not sure if I’m missing something or not. I would recommend keeping levels that have already been solved available to refer back to. It kinda sucked having to go through the square puzzles again. Also, I was unable to search for one of the last files again after I’d seen it once. Just makes it tough since I’m not sitting down and completing the game in one try.

Awesome!

I love puzzle games like this! So I end up playing a lot of them, but one thing I thought was pretty cool and really made this one stand out was the incorporation of little games within the game, if that makes any sense? You need to complete them to move forward so I'm not sure if I can call them mini games, but they were definitely different from what I'd usually see in this kind of game. Like cryptography and all that kind of stuff. And as someone who is does a lot of cryptography and not a lot of strategy puzzle games, it presented a completely different kind of challenge for me and made the gameplay pretty unique and interesting! The use of AR, while a little glitchy sometimes, also really contributed to that and made the experience even more engaging. The Mona Lisa puzzle I thought was especially cool. Anyways, I'll definitely keep an eye out if there are any more updates in the future!

Top tier puzzle game

This is legitimately one of the best puzzle games I have ever played and I’ve been downloading puzzle games on the App Store for 10 years. It’s not like the other puzzle games. It’s really immersive and uses every bit of your phone. It really shows how far puzzle games can be pushed and what kind of mechanics they use. There is a puzzle that literally use your flashlights. It baffled me I didn’t know what was happening. It doesn’t rely on 3D looking objects and spinning crap around. It is simple yet so complicated. Most satisfying game, and if you’re reading this pre order CIRCULOUS(made by the same person that made this game) I can not recommend this game enough especially if you’re a puzzle nut like I am

Closest To Simulating Escape Room Experience

Really pleasantly surprised by this fun and inventive experience. I love escape rooms (and escape room board games) but escape room iPhone games don’t actually capture that experience at all and they’re usually really low quality. This game captures the escape room experience with plenty of inventive little puzzles that give you an aha moment and work in a way you might not anticipate—all while being uniquely suited to mobile.I would love to see more games like this on the App Store that prove that creativity and imagination can more than make up for what I imagine is a limited budget and resources

Description

The Company is evil and must be stopped...at least that is the information you have received from your informant. Do you think you have what it takes to unlock, decipher, and unravel The Company files? You will need to rely on logic, skill and a bit of luck to get through these mind bending mental (and physical) challenges.

As the story unfolds, the mystery of what you are really doing deepens. Will you be able to find the truth? Each carefully crafted level (78 in all) is unique - no two puzzles are the same - giving you hours of brand new experiences throughout the game. You may even have to think outside the app! From the escape room fanatic to the person who loves a good mystery, The Company Game is for you! Includes AR - Augmented Reality puzzles! Unlock helpful tools and hints - like a Morse Code translator, a Number to Letter converter, and the infamous M File! Push your phone to the limits of what you thought you would need to do to pass a level. Location Services and Camera Access are needed to solve some puzzles, and some physical activity may be required. If you need help completing any puzzles please contact us. Some quotes: "It’s like if Blackbox, The Guides, and Device 6 had a baby. And the baby was delivered by a 14-year-old doctor." "I don't remember a game that has made me mad and frustrated...then smile all within the same level." "I think my favorite thing so far is the variety of the puzzles. They're all drastically different which keeps it exciting." "Now, they're saying you've been secretly sent to stump the world with impossible puzzles. If it's got them this upset, I can't wait to play-although I'm a little nervous."
