Description

** Winner of Apple Design Award 2014 **

A surreal thriller in which the written word is your map, as well as your narrator.

DEVICE 6 plays with the conventions of games and literature, entwines story with geography and blends puzzle and novella, to draw players into an intriguing mystery of technology and neuroscience.

Anna wakes up in a castle on a remote island, with little recollection of how she got there. All she remembers is an unusually unpleasant doll.

Why are there two identical castles on the island? Who is the mysterious man in the bowler hat? And above all, what is the purpose of the tests Anna is put through?

Read, listen and peek into three-dimensional photographs to solve the bizarre mysteries of DEVICE 6.


"DEVICE 6 is designed to linger in the mind long after the last code has been cracked and the last sentence read. Spy stories - even traditional ones - often haunt their readers' dreams once they've been completed. It's only appropriate, really. Is that a final full-stop or a microdot? Is this the end of the affair or an invitation to go deeper?"
Eurogamer - 9/10

"In using its text both as narrative and as geography – and through its impressively restrained use of illustration and sound – it generates an almost unrivalled sense of place. It isn’t embarrassed to allow Device 6 to be a game when it needs to be, and yet it knows precisely when to let the story take over. The result is a sharp, striking mystery that is at once provocative, extraordinarily stylish and altogether essential"
EDGE - 9/10

"In turning a text adventure into a world map, Simogo has resurrected a long-dead genre with style and confidence. Great presentation and brilliant puzzles complete a stellar package"
Pocketgamer – 9/10

"Ever exceeding expectations, the developer has followed up one of 2013′s highlights with another title that can be classed as such. With a compelling story that keeps you guessing, and a pin-point utilisation of the platform, Device 6 is an accomplishment in games design, mobile or otherwise"
God is a Geek - 9/10

"DEVICE 6 not only explores the boundaries of narrative storytelling, it also demonstrates the creative potential of touchscreen gaming"
Appspy – 5/5

"Simogo’s doing something few others are doing, and it’s wonderful that someone is both providing great experiences and testing the limits of interactive media"
148apps - 5/5

"An ingenious slice of puzzling adventure that's as imaginative as it is stylish"
Modojo - 4.5/5

really good

the puzzles are difficult but manageable, just strange enough to make you feel smart for solving them. at times, the general feel of the game is pretentious, but the clues and diagrams of previous chapters build into an ending that, while predictable from far enough into play, is still satisfying. great graphics, no technical problems, but too short. the hour i solved it within was not worth the price. i also find it too narrative and linear to play again. still, content to support this developer and will be looking for more by them. all in all, i recommend this little mystery, though perhaps leave it on a wishlist until you can find a discount.

I wouldn't recommend this

I love interactive puzzles/stories but this game just failed to amazed me. There is no story, just some puzzles thrown together to make the game look smart and creative. The idea is good but it was just put together so poorly, and doesn't keep readers hooked

Amazing Game

This is honestly the best game I’ve ever played. It really has an acquired taste—either you love it or you hate it. This game makes reading fun. I would recommend this to people who wouldn’t get mad over a game and who loves puzzle solving.
