NoStranger for Android
Very well done, Black Vein Productions! I would say: it worth to stay awake until midnight just for this game! This was amazing! Kinda weird at the same time, but in the good way! Sometimes hard to understand, just because english's not my main language! But the story was the thing that made the game exellent! The ending was very well done with the videos! I give this game a solid 5*!
This is a genius game. It combines all the best aspects of puzzle games, text based games, and online scavenger hunts into a completely unique experience. You won't be able to wait for the next conversation with the mysterious Adam. I'm updating this as I just finished and OMGOMGOMG. Once you finish the game, you'll look back at how perfectly everything fits together. The media is so in-depth and the storyline is fabulous. It gets a little creepy at the end, but it'll leave you in awe. Truly a work of art.
I hardly review games. But I think this is one of the most genius games I have ever played. Not only does it grab your attention but it keeps it. Digging around Google maps and youtube for clues is great. Even though I kind of guessed the outcome from the beginning it still caught me by surprise and left me wanting more. As a professional in marketing I also see the genius in getting traffic to certain pages. Very clever indeed. Top game. 5 stars.
I cannot praise this game enough. The effort put into it by the developers is above that of most free or even mobile games in general I've seen. The in-app purchases are completely optional and I made it through without watching or seeing a single advertisement. Other than that the game is difficult to describe without spoiling anything, but nevertheless this is one of very few cases of a mobile game which I can confidently reccomend to anybody willing to give it a try. DMLM.
This game is #AWESOME! I have to say, the developers have done a great frickin job. It's like, i know this isn't real, but man! I just...at the end of the game, it still gets me. Tell us, how do you do it? The hidden videos and all those freaky coincidences in google maps, tumblr, gmail etc. stuff like that. Plus, i could really relate to the guy. The concept was nice, graphics was amazing, the use of social websites (hands down awesome). I would strongly recommend this game (w/ or w/out a walkthrough). It might not be the game of the century but it's a game that will capture you for a lifetime. Please, dear game creators/developers, if you could; do a sequel. Adam's character hit the mark. Both video and text. :) kudos to all who contributed to this game! Once in a lifetime...
I have never given five stars across the board when it comes to a review. Four stars is generally the highest I do. I'm also typically not into this genre of game. But I will say that the developers are incredibly creative and definitely think outside of the box. I 100% recommend this to anybody that's looking for something new. I'm glad that I finally decided to play it. I've seen it pop up under the recommended for me section for the last few months and I kept passing over it. Super impressed! Love it!
Well I just the same like other users. I hardly give review and this might be a second time I do it. This game is really cool!! It makes you go through a real experience. The riddles are difficult. The ending is not like my expectation .No doubt,this app is the best!!! Great job guys :) and Adam is handsome :)
Great concept. Quite educational to show how easy it can be to groom and manipulate. Very captivating. Only reason I have 4 not 5 is that the tumblr links don't work unless you have an account and all the videos made my phone overheat. You really need to do this beside a computer for the links. It's extra hard on a phone only to copy links or work out the riddles. It took a lot of time to reopen the app each time which wasted the previous time I had for solving.
Holy fu....shi...that was.... Intense. So incredibly intense. I just finished Nostrangers and i cant shake it from my brain... It sticks with you. Its so immersive and insanely great! I still cant believe how much fun i had with this! It was pretty obvious where the story was going but it didnt detract from the experience at all. Could not recommend this enough! So much effort had to have been put into this and i appreciate every second of it! Please make more games guys! I will play that sh** until my fingers fall off! I need more of this!
This game is literally amazing. I spent hours playing through it all the way. I just finished and I am literally shaking because of how good it is. Fair warning. It does take you all over the Internet which I didn't know going in. Whenever I played I played with a laptop open next to me. 10/10 I can't wait till more from these guys come out. This game was so thought out and detailed I can't believe it
No Stranger is the very only game of its kind, it gives you a complete insane feeling of being part of something and you get a relationship to the main character, Adam, unlike anything I've ever tried in a game. No matter the choices you make in game, replaying it may lead to a lot of regret and mixed feelings. It's very interesting how it makes you go through a wild scavenger hunt throughout the internet and you feel like this could be a real story. I've never been so dragged in by an app before and I hope very much for more from the creators. This games deserves more attention and love and it is definitely a must-play if you ask me.
Makes my phone hot. However not too much to it yet. The texting Adam does shoukd bebinstant. Having to sit there while it "types" is annoying. I'll update after I've played more. Note: takes 99 cents to remove those wait time ads
Predictable and unengaging gameplay. doesnt feel like youre texting a real person, and the conversation (monologue?) feels awkward and unintuitive. I forced myself to get to the end hoping for some plot twist but it didnt happen. I guess almost everyone figured out from the prologue alone who the character is.
I can't even begin to express how incredible of an experience this was. So wholly immersive, with some of the coolest, most well thought out and well executed game mechanics involving real-world online scavenging I've ever seen. Finding things is not so difficult that you want to give up or just Google the answer, but you have to dig enough that it holds your interest. These characters are fully realized, and allow you to empathize with them, truly believe they are real, and that you are really involved. When the ending dawned on me it actually gave me that sinking anxiety feeling in the pit of my stomach, and the final bits of the story were perfectly dark. I wouldn't change a thing about the app, and 100% recommend it.
What the neck does the acronym mean. Will there be a sequel cause I'm down. I'm legit pissed rn about the ending did he do it or not. Cause he asked if I cared and I said yes, I legit almost cried because of this. So thank you for that. Gosh I hate this So much. Thank you for creating such an amazing game!!!
This game.... it repeats the events in my life that I had with my crush... from the random jokes to the 16 personality test... I guess I'll never get over the fact that I decided to confess and stop chasing her. Adam is the perfect representation of her, and I'll never forget that. Thank you developers, thank you.
Well..that was..something. The whole time it really felt like I was talking to someone which made the ending all the more hard hitting. The puzzles were fun, albeit slightly tedious towards then end but even still, I enjoyed it. Honestly, I wouldn't class this exactly as a game, but more of just an experience, reminiscent of Emily is away and Sarah is missing. I would definitely recommend this
I dont ever review games, i actually don't think i've ever written one. But okay, holy crap. Loved every tiny little thing about this game. Its interesting and exciting and it really does make you think. Having to really search for answers and be super interactive, just incredible. God, if I could get this whole game tattooed on me, i would
Can't believe I'm having fun over here! Just started the game and wow I'm impressed!! The story makes me curious and Adam really seems like a real person, I love it Definitely makes me a bit more proactive in searching for information.
A little confused on what the ending really means, but this is by far my favourite game of all time. I felt very drawn and comfortable with the character Adam. The storyline is absolutely amazing. I hope there's more to come soon. However, what does DMLM mean?
Very few words can describe this game... The way this game takes you through a state of mind without you really realizing it. And the curve ball at the end I was not expecting. The entire game came full circle. Great job to you developers, one hell of a game.
Great concept, but it was fairly easy to understand the logic. Since I'm curious I dug deeper into information too early so sort of spoiled the end. I guess it can be trickier for next time. I also wonder why the permission for calls. Is it part of the game? I just denied because, well, I'd like to control at least this in my phone.
Best indie game I ever played! I did get stuck on the second video (i tweeted the devs) and found the answer online which broke rhe immersiveness, but still it game me chills! Will reccomend!
Really well done. Was difficult in places, mainly due to my slow, glitchy phone which made it too annoing to continue on. But after a break I kept finding myself back at it using my pc instead.
The game is amazing and though i havent finished it yet im having a blast. The riddles are so hard and fun but i kept messing the link up so i went to get the link off of a walkthrough and spoiled the answers for the 2nd and 3rd one. I did the first one though. I wish the links were copyable but other than that i loved it i really like adam and although he is sketchy hes really fun. I prefer this over lifeline even though taylor was great adam is more interesting.
Nice concept but I lost whole chapter after advert played. It was just gone :/ and I really didn't feel like going through all the clicking again. So it might be something that needs technical update...
At first I totally love this game. And then, every time I had to left the game it restarted. I still try it for a few times. But the same error, opened the game and it went for the beginning of the chapter. Disappointed :( It has everything for a great game!
i NEVER review games, but this one is worth taking a few minutes for. i downloaded this game two days ago, and completed it whenever i had time. such a unique game with a very powerful story, and the social media sites just made it seems so authentic and real. i've told all of my friend about this. long story short: i'm obsessed with this game.
Worth my time. Really enjoy having this little conversation with someone... people download this app because life is boring right?? So.. play it to the end, it will change your views towards the outside world. And hopefully... it can change mine too :') I have played it a little.. it seems alright.
OH MY GOD! This game is PURE AWESOMENESS!!! I like all the riddles and the tasks that Adam gives me. I like Adam as a character, he's like 10/10 my type. I got sooo addicted to this game and LOVE the fact that I can watch add instead of paying because if it required money, I probably wouldn't take the wait and it would ruin everything. But the game is just awesome, would recommend to anyone.
This game... I never leave reviews like this, but I truly adore this game. Never have I really truly felt for someone I knew wasn't real. I highly recommend this game. From the real response times, to the story that you don't realize is a story, I love this so much, and I genuinely hope people play it. The ending had me in tears.
The idea is good in concept but your execution is BORING. The character I'm conversing with talks unbelievably weird, no one talks like that, limited options and all the time you have to wait for his sorry ass to get back to you. Its very BORING
I'm amazed! The story was so interesting and got you involved outside the game to find real people and discover real things but the ending really shocked me. That's why he asked about the man on the building at the start. I applaud you and hope to see more games like this.
This was great. Only a few typos but that to me made it seem more real. I did have to look online for some help but other than that at the end everything made sense. Great job this is one of my favorite text based game.
This game is absolutely awesome! I don't want to know how you get an Idea for a game like this, but it was just awesome. There's only one thing I'd like to change: when you listen to music, the music gets more silent and it stops every 15seconds. It's a bit annoying, but it doesn't have an influence on the gameplay
I'm so shook with the way it ended. It was a great game I loved how it really interacted with the real world, it made the game seem more real. Good job guys! Im looking forward to another game like this from you guys.
I'm going through the deepest depression I've ever been through after losing my fiance to an overdose 6 months ago. When I started playing this game, I couldn't stop. I was creeped out by Adam, but also felt connected to him. Some of the response choices in the game were so close to how I actually felt that I wondered if it was made just for me. Thinking about life and death a lot lately made this game exceptionally moving for me. All I can say is this: it's not for people who can't see beyond the sad/dark theme of the game. This is a work of art at its core, but it is very emotionally riveting. 5/5. Thanks for speaking to me. DMLM. ♡
This game is incredible in the way that it almost feels like youre not playing a game at all. From going to google maps or searching through actual blogs and youtube videos for clues, all adds up to this realistically amazing game. Could not recommend this game enough.
This game was amazing. The dialogue was the most realistic of any text-based game I've played. The integration of social media, maps, and videos was very well done. The reason it gets 4 stars is because you can't copy & paste URLs from the app, so you need to play next to a computer. I didn't mind the ads as they're pretty quick and it's easy to just skip through wait times if you want to. The hints at the ending were subtle but visible. I'm still a bit confused at what happened but it's still a good game. Definitely worth playing.

I've been playing this for a few days, and having played lifeline previously I was excited. I didn't connect with the character, my replies were very limiting and I felt like I wasn't able to give genuine responses. Also, I found the wait times long and didn't sync well with my day. I can see the draw for some people but it didn't connect with me. The outside media used was a good idea, but the ability to click links within the game would be helpful.
