HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (7.1 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ They just have a second conversation and Sam leaves again and you got to wait for a loading process to complete which kills the vibe of the game itself and makes it soooooo boring
★★★★★ The opening 'text' conversation is the very definition of padding for time with horribly slow progress and an awful, cliche ridden direction
★★★★★ Short attention span...could NOT MAKE it through the beginning SLOW TEXT

Worth the money2%

7 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ The only time internet is needed is when you want to watch an ad to continue playing the game when Sam is away, which isn't so bad considering that it's a free game.
★★★★★ It gets a bit annoying, but for a free choose your own adventure game that reminded me of the CYOA books from back in the 70's/80's, it was worth the time.
★★★★★ Use that coupon to pay for the ad free options, or paid games.

★★★★★Jun 8, 2026

A very unique zombie thriller game! It's like you're really texting with someone going through a zombie apocalypse. I enjoyed the fact that every so often you'd have to wait for the person, just like real life. It was a very immersive experience, yet such a simple design. This game will stand out to me over most other games these days. I highly recommend a playthrough!
