The Uncertain for Android
While the story and graphics are good, the gamepad interface leaves little to be desired. If you like cordoning off your screen into a grid and systematically searching with the cursor for focus this is the game for you. This game would be fantastic on a touch device but definitely rots nads on Nvidia Shield Android TV. Too much wonk and clunk. Put it out for the K1, please. I decided to come back and give this game another star for because it really is an excellent story. As I write this I see that the game only has 100 purchases. It deserves more than that. It manages to bring up some complex emotions without being maudlin. There's definitely worse to be had from the Shield Catalog. And the musical score is great. It really gives the game even more emotional depth. I am having issues with the forest scenes. The game crashed once when I was being followed by a police drone, and then it crashed again when I went into the cabin in the woods a few minutes later.
Well it looks nice.... But I can't interact with the game, so it is a bit useless :( I have only one controller. UPDATE: After new update...is now even worse!! Can't get past the menu screen!
Price is way too much for what you get. Even at the holiday sale price. Game feels unfinished and has bad English. The game crashes frequently. Right now I'm stuck on deactivating the first jammer in the woods because the game crashed at the beginning of the chase scene with the drone and then crashed while turning off the jammer once finally through the chase and then again it crashed after turning off the jammer each time having to repeat the same scenario just to have it crash again. I'd like my 7.50 back!
Edit: 10/30/2016 With only one controller connected the game works great. I love the concept of this game and I'm having a lot of fun playing it. The graphics are beautiful and the sound is creepy yet amazing. Original Review: As others have said, the game looks amazing, but game controllers don't work. I am using an NVIDIA Shield TV and I can't get past the main menu. Please fix the controls and I will gladly update my rating. I really do want to play this game.
GAME PLAYS LIKE A BETA VERSION AND REQUIRES A USB MOUSE AND KEYBOARD! The Nvidia Shield ATV controller does not work at all on this game. This includes the latest 0.97 release. Tried unpairing all remotes, unplugging all usb devices, deleting game cache and restarting the device, all with no luck. I was able to get past the main menu with a usb mouse and then use the controller before the 0.97 update. The latest (0.97) update completely destroyed what little controller support actually worked. $17 for a (partial) android game should get you extremely polished gameplay, this is not the case. The graphics and cutscenes are nice but there are bugs and poor design choices. The aerocar chases where you are trying to avoid obstacles that you can't even see because the camera is pointing backwards, who thought that was a good idea? The eliminate the red dot puzzle where the sound drops off and the controls lag or freeze up was not a fun experience. I did manage to finish the first episode with a usb keyboard and mouse. The story is interesting and the graphics are pretty but you are definitely not getting your money's worth for this premium priced episode. 3 stars if the controls worked.
The gameplay is very similar to that of some Telltale games, but overall it's a pretty interesting story. I especially loved the Half Life reference! I would love to see it supported on the Nvidia Shield K1 tablet.
Great game in a similar vein to Telltales recent titles but this is in a much better engine. Interested in how the story progresses, hope it's released soon.
Very good game with easy controls, apart from the car chase scenes (going backwards while dodging trees/bridge pillars ain't easy!). Had some graphical glitches at the start of each scene, and some spoken English and text didn't make sense, but the cliffhanger made us all go NOOOOOO! Very well done. Played on nvidia shield TV. PS... I didn't have any problems with controls during the game (unless you fixed the controls before I downloaded it on 24th Sep)
Great Game! It works Awesome on Shield ATV with Shield Controller. Game have nice puzzles. Sometimes hard to find out the hints.
Pretty cool game. Waiting for upcoming episodes. Please add play games support.
This game is broken and it's unplayable on the Nvidia shield, it's uninstalled and reinstalled twice now and i'm still having the same problem. When you're asked to push the Y,X,A,B button to interact with an object nothing happens when the buttons are pushed, so you can't progress in the game. I'm really looking forward to playing this game so please fix this. Also this game was supposed to be on sale for $11.99 on the Nvidia Shield Tv Store, but you guys charged me $15, not cool. Please fix these issues and you'll get my 5 Stars, thanks.
The game is beautiful, both visually and aurally. It's a shame that you can't interact with anything, preventing you from getting past the first, simple objective. Played on an nVidia Shield TV. Hopefully this is fixed, otherwise I'll seek a refund. I would LOVE to play this game, but cannot in its current state.

The good... Great graphics and story. It's a combination of point and click with restricted free-roaming. There are puzzles and even some driving sequences. No ads or in game purchases. There will be in game purchases in the future to get the next episodes. It uses Nvidia technology so it uses the power of the Nvidia Shield TV. The bad... A steep price for a 2.5 to 3 hour episode. I was able to get this on sale so I gave it a shot. Remember this is episode one and there is a cliffhanger here. Hopefully they will give a season pass for all the episodes. Also the rumble didn't function for me. It could be that Android TV doesn't support rumble but I sent an e-mail to find out. Really high end game on the Android market.
