DEVICE 6

Device 6 positions itself outside the box, looks back inside, and laughs heartily. [Jan 2014, p.81]

Device 6 is Simogo's latest masterpiece, a mystifying interactive fiction experience.

The way Simogo weaves the player and Anna into the same mystery is fascinating. It might not be for everyone, but the richly complex puzzles and intriguing neo-noir mystery are sure to make Device 6 a cult hit. [Issue 0, January 2014]

Again, Device 6’s unorthodox presentation may be off-putting at first, but stick with it, especially if you’re a fan of Year Walk. It’s a perfect accompaniment to the current Halloween atmosphere, though like any good mystery, it keeps well at any time of the year.

Device 6 is designed to linger in the mind long after the last code has been cracked and the last sentence read.

A very deep and inspired interactive text novel plenty of secrets, drama and mystery. One of the best reasons to be entertained on the bus, subway...

If you’re looking for some absurdly fun puzzles and a truly unique storytelling experience, you’ll want to check out DEVICE 6 on iOS, but you’ll wish for a gameplay integration upgrade.

An intriguing fusion between literature and game. It mixes adventure elements such as puzzle, with a written narrative exploring a post-modern literature style, with paragraphs and words bending and rotating to imitate actions. A very creative and intriguing story with some clever puzzles will definitely make you burn some grey matter while figuring how to advance.

I normally don't like to generalize things. Like, I don't say "all (insert genre) (insert medium) are bad", because there will almost always be exceptions- even though if at the time of my statement there isn't a good example yet. People may say "all iOS games are made to make a quick buck" and "all iOS games are **** this game is one example of these brilliant exceptions. It uses features exclusive to phones, which can't really be emulated on other systems, to give you one HELL of an experience. I can't really spoil anything about the story, but I can say that it fit together perfectly. One may say that it's just a book made a bit interactive- but that is amazing in and of itself, not to mention how it is used. Basically, you are solving problems to forward the story, but it's done in a very interesting way. This shows how devices like eBooks can do more with books than just replicating them. Honestly, this is a cheap game that, while short, definitely gives you an experience worth the money.

i've applied 6 for originality and concept but no more for it's replayability and plot which is, especially, is dull and flat. Yes, it's great that modern day developers not just making action games but can deliver something very original which involves features of portable devices like ipad but come on plot is totally missed there

This is a very interesting game and is so deferent in a lot of ways. It has some great puzzles and the design is great! The story is okay, but not on the the same level as Simogos last game, Year Walk. Buy the game, you wont regret it.

A game that takes full advantage of the format in very clever ways. I found myself getting goosebumps on more than one occasion bacause of how the game presents it´s great story.
