Loved the setting and a few of the characters as well as the app- it was a fun idea that was fleshed out well. I didn't like the reveal- the killer's characterization took such a sharp turn from what it had been which felt lame, and the motivation ultimately didn't feel quite strong enough.

Good. Enjoyed. Don’t have much to say about this one - it was a fun journey but I feel like I’m going to forget about it. Cool setting.
