Description

NoStranger is not a game, it's a conversation.
As the app opens, you receive a message from a stranger.
But by the end of your experience, you will know his name, his motivation, and his dark secret.

You will be led on a user-choice-driven narrative; searching through blogs, contacting the story’s characters, and scouring social media websites to find out more. Through real-time conversation, you will delve deep, and sometimes not so deep ;), exploring the interconnectedness of our virtual world.

With inspiration from titles such as LifeLine and Her Story,
​NoStranger uses real websites, phone numbers, and videos to create a believable, immersive experience.

Trigger Warnings: This narrative includes topics of suicide and violence.

Blown away!!! Easy 5 stars

This game was unlike anything I’d ever played before. I can’t quite remember the exact ending and storyline, because it was probably about 2-3 years ago that I played. I remember it well enough to know that - not a spoiler! - the ending will leave you questioning it all and conflicted about what you’ve just done; who it is that this “stranger” truly was. It’s incredibly interactive with the stranger needing your help for a variety of different tasks... for example, at one point he needs to get into a building in NYC and you actually have to use Google Maps to see his location and provide him with the answer as to what you think would be the safest way to sneak in. What I remember most are three things: the fantastic storytelling, the enhanced feeling of real interaction by questions asked/tasks given, and the twist of an ending. Actually, I’m going to download this and play this again. It’s been such a long time that I’ve forgotten a lot of it now (just haven’t forgotten how much I loved it). Seriously, give it a try. I very highly doubt you’ll regret it!

Loved it. Also triggering. But loved it.

TLDR: play it when you’re in a good headspace and you’re good to go lol.

This game is intriguing. You have to use resources outside of the game, real world maps and emails to get answers. The character is great, and the way you can play the more open parts of the game can lead to interesting conversation. Genuinely enjoyable. But not in a “yay fun” way. More in a- I keep checking my phone to see if he’s answered type of way. It’s very engaging. But dark.

I hate to be this guy, but I have to. Nothing negative against the game, it’s seriously great. That being said ——- suicide trigger warning. Which I feel like is obvious and not really a spoiler because the screenshots in the App Store mention someone jumping off a building right away. I want to word this in a way where I avoid spoilers, and I don’t know if maybe if I had played it differently how it would have gone — but **possible spoiler**

if you’ve ever had someone in your life who suffers from severe depression/suicide attempts.. you know that feeling when you’re worried about them and you call and text and they just randomly stop answer l and you feel helpless ? Just prepare yourself for that helpless feeling. It’s overall worth it cause it’s just a game. But I do know when my friends suicide was recent, that feeling would throw me off for like a week.

If anything kudos to the creators. You guys made a real piece of art here. Truly!

One of the best games I’ve ever played

This game is great it’s so many things in one game it has many puzzles and you can bond and gain trust with the stranger your texting to or you can not the most amazing thing about this game is how it combines the real world and the games world making him the person your talking to feel real every time something weird would happen it would send shivers down my back and even though this is the most amazing part of the game the best part of the game is probably how you can be yourself in this game you can relate with the games main character and you can gain emotions for the game and especially the stranger after playing this game I and you will probably realize why it is called no stranger.
