Wonderfully unique! Loving the game, can't put it down. Have experienced problems however with every item I try to inspect the item almost completely disappears and just a few pixels visible, but haven't noticed anyone else having this problems so may just be how it downloaded? Wonderful game though, well done!

Great fun Loved the graphics, enjoyed the game immensely. In the future, though, you might not want to grab a story line from a very popular movie. I kind of figured things out early on. But still, five stars. Looking forward to the next one.

Loved it Rated this a 4 due to length. Such a shame as everything else about this game was really well done. Sadly just too short, I completed in around 2/3 hours
Jordan Harness
Too short, but great game The price I paid is too much for such a short game, though the game itself was flawless and set up perfectly. To get more 5 star ratings, I'd suggest lowering the price, if not adding more levels. I'm still giving it 5 stars due to the flawless gameplay and great storyline. And the fact that this is exactly what I've been looking for. Good job

Voices Loved the game. It was a bit on the short side but I enjoyed the game play a lot. It would however have been more immersive with animated cut scenes and voice acting for the phone calls.
Fun, if a little short Clearly inspired by The Room, but applies the style and methods of interaction to a different genre. A couple of clues required a bit of wild tapping to find. Overall, good fun, if a little short. Would like to see another case / episode. Recommended.

Great game awesome graphics really well done very realistic could of use real voice on the phone calls butt im sure it will be fixed soon.It exceeded my expectations of the game
If only a few more chapters... I loved this game. Everything about it was fantastic except for the length. Thoroughly enjoyed the game, worth the money for sure.
Love Loved it, rated 4 because it's quite short, shame because everything else was perfect, from the art style to the puzzles
Fun Occasionally I got stuck but overall really neat and enjoyable
Absolutely amazing! Not a stupid seek n find ! Actually interactive scenes
Great graphics Loved this game but was too short. Only one case to solve, granted there are numerous scenes. Solved this with one evening. Graphics and game play are great. Game challenges you well too.
Great but short Great game, love the graphics and the gameplay. Environment interaction was fantastic. My only complaint is that's it's way too short. Only one Case with 3 scenes. I wouldn't have paid for the game had I known its length beforehand. Little upset over that. Come out with more levels and cases please :-/
Malware My original 1 star review was: "I have not actually played it yet. However my virus software reports that this is malware!". After the reassurance below I thoroughly enjoyed the game, it had a nice atmosphere. However, it would be good to know why it is reported as malware, and the game was too short!

Hi Kabir,
We can assure you that this app is not malware, provided it's been downloaded directly from it's app page on this official store. Might be worth checking the settings of your virus software?
Warm regards,
- Team @ Relentless Will not load and run! The app freezes at the start-up screen each and every time! One-star review will be removed after a full refund of my hard-earned money. REPLY TO DEV: Check your e-mail. I contacted your support immediately after posting this review.

-Team at Relentless Would get a 4 if it wasn't so short Title is self explanatory. The game is so short that 4$ for it is a ripoff. I hope that new cases will be available and, of course, free of charge for those who have bought the game, otherwise it's racket.
Won't play!! I have downloaded the game, due to being an avid gamer and having seen this being greatly appreciated for one of the best mystery games on Android thus far... So I downloaded it and spent money to play it, just to find out that it force closes as soon as I attempted to launch the game. And I can't get a refund.... Please fix!!!!!

Updating my previous review: There SEEMED to be a problem that made it impossible for me to complete the first scene. I couldn't get one of the clues after interacting with a certain door (the clue was on the other side of the door, but there was no way to close it again). I ended up restarting and it did not happen again, so I am not sure if I actually missed something (like another clue that complemented that one), or it was indeed a bug. Great game anyaway, so I increased my review score. =)

-Team at Relentless Great game, good story. A little short Good story, keeps you interested. Better than most of the very basic hidden object games. Graphics a little glitchy on my device but nothing significant. Well worth 4 star rating.
Keeps crashing Ran fine on the old Samsung A5, but after I updated my phone - it won't run on the Samsung S7 - just crashes after you hang up the phone on the first case. Have tried turning off alerts etc. Very disappointed.

Hi Poppy,
So sorry that you are experiencing this issue. We are currently investigating this bug and hope to have it squashed very soon! If you'd like a refund or further support please send your receipt to Support@Relentless.co.uk. Our apologies for the inconvenience, thank-you for your patience at this time.
Warm regards,
Team@ Relentless I'm going to agree good game It great keep you coming back. Took me one day you finish the case wish there were other cases to solve. It's not enough for the money.
Unreal Great game really enjoyable got to be on of best games on here. But it really let me down how short it was for the money you except more game play was very let down. Hopefully you make a new case which should be free if not I advised not to buy.
O...M...F...G...!!!!! This...was...THRILLIIING! Finally, what everyone was asking for... Without a doubt, the most comprehensive and fully interactive case solving game EVER! (including consoles). Words cannot describe everything that's packed in this detective/thriller that keeps surprising you with how freaking interactive it is, you can touch anything, move anything, examine anything and literally try and solve the case by yourself step by step, detail by detail and still keeping you on the edge of your seat, guessing what went down. Perfection on every aspect, brilliant and unique.
Small bugs, great concept Much more challenging and capturing than the hidden object type of criminal case games. This is how investigation should play like. Small bugs, as in you sometimes cannot scan evidence (blue cloth).
Forced closes and want my money back please I don't see why this app force closes everybody else is having the same problem I pad a lot of money plus tax please fix looks like a very exciting game

-Team at Relentless Keeps stopping! This game works for a few minutes then just stops. If you restart it you are back at the first step. Conversely, it is really hard to pause or quit it if you want to. How do I get my money back please?

I was immediately impressed as soon as I started playing by the slick presentation and high production values. In many ways it reminded me of 'The Room', except rather than exploring intricate objects, you're exploring intricate environments. I also like the whole clue system they have where you have to match the clues with the questions the environment brings up. So far I've really enjoyed it.
Great, but too short! I hope they bring out more cases. I was very disappointed that the entire game was over when I solved the only case!
Great fun! A good ol' detective adventure with top-quality production values, excellent 3D graphics, a gripping story and fun puzzles. Somewhat reminiscent of Frogwares' Sherlock Holmes games in terms of gameplay mechanics, which is a very good thing. Here's hoping for a sequel!

Hi Zejji,
Thanks for your kind words, we're big Sherlock fans here! Keep an eye on our social media for the latest news :)
Warm regards,
Team @ Relentless Good while it lasts Far too short for the money. Really well made and certainly worth playing, but not very difficult. Either the sole case should be much longer or there should be multiple cases.
Way too short for the money I'm really disappointed,waaaaay too short for 4 dollar game. Beat it in like 30 min, and then that's it?? What the hell.. I feel really ripped off.
Loved it but killed my battery I love this game, it's short, yeah, but I can only play for maybe 20 minutes at a time. It absolutely killed my battery. Went from 41% to 6% in a half hour.
Plays perfectly on my Note 4 and is a really good game for the cheap price!
This game was fab I really enjoyed it. Only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is cos it was way too short!!
Good, Richly Detailed Good immersive game. Only one point where pixel hunting stumped me. Sad to have finished, can't wait to see more from the same developer!
