Bellweather: The Tuner

I understand the desire to keep the feel in-story and immersive, but at some point (by which I mean, preferably up-front) you have to just be clear with the user what this experience is. Maybe some users want to read an in-game blog for an hour, spend god-knows how long on a Discord trying to just understand the experience, let alone work out how to contribute to it.. but THIS user does not, and I begrudge the time of mine you wasted by not being up front.

GPS data farming walk around apps have been declining for years and this GenAI crappie isnt reviving the genre.

Honestly , I love sci fi and this is definitely in my category of one of my favourite apps. the ad just got me so excited.I had to download and I highly.\nHighly recommend if you are sci fi lover to download this app today

There's a lot to like about it. I've always been interested in ARGs but come to them too late, so I think I discovered this at the right time. right now there doesn't seem to be map support for my area (Toronto) but I'm confident it'll get there eventually. It may keep my attention longer than Monster Hunter Go.

not a damn clue what this 'game' or app is about no instructions and just very odd

This game has the mysterious, lived in feel of Myst, et al. that's awesome. I love Myst. I can't give it a higher star rating though, because I have no clue what it going on. (In response to the developer reply: I know you think you're being mysterious and clever, but I genuinely have no clue what's going on, and there's nothing anywhere for me to read or watch to get any idea. Because of that, I deleted the app. Your reply hasn't helped my opinion; hence deducting a star).

I didnt get it and didnt want to

I'm 90% sure this "game" is just an elaborate way to gather your data without your consent.

the best game ive played in a while, lol.

invasive and nothing like it mentioned

Cool experience and a creative use of AR! Loving the premise of the app and the potential community it could build overtime. I have a couple notes that I think can improve gameplay and immersion: 1. UPDATE: Did the tapping to bring the signal closer! Can be a little iffy indoors, but it works! I would still consider a hold to scan option for accessibility purposes :D 2. I think more expressive voice acting could increase immersion!

it's just a way to get your gps data to train ai on, barely disguised as an arg. Nothing more to it.

it's cool I just don't understand what's going on

It doesn't even work? You find "an anomaly", it tells you to walk around it, and the blue blob just gets stuck in the corner of the screen. Complete waste of time and I look incredibly stupid just pacing in circles

probably fin for people motivated to waste their free time chasing down a fake crime as if chasing down fake Pokémon. spent all of 10 seconds on this game before I said eff dis ish and deleted it. if its for you by all means enjoy but im not getting hit by a car playing fake detective!

Fun and interesting game! Join the discord and help try to solve the mystery with us!

Needs weekly. Update

It's a great app, especially for mystery lovers. How you play it is you use you're camera to capture different anomalies around your own area and home, and gives you hints to the mystery. meaning if you've been planning to go outside but too lazy, this app is a great to keep you active and actually have fun as you walk around to find anomalies

until I figure out how to use this or play the game, it gets a 2 star. very confusing.

Such a fun game! I love walking outside, and now I have an extra reason to explore new places and collect new echoes.

Okay, First of all the lore. TOP NOTCH, Maybe sometimes you can find gems where others won't look, I'm not gonna spoil anything more but the advertisement. It gave me chills

Very cool. I'm just getting started but there's a lot of information to go through. If you're a fan of SCP Foundation, you might like this app.

its a puzzle that an approcable group of people is working on please join us and help us figure this out. be carefull tho it is possible this is an ai data gathering scam but the tos seems to go against this would still recommend.

Uses Gen AI slop and comes from an AI company. If the creators are really passionate about the story, then they can usereal photos edited by hand or human-made art. Talk about a disappointment.

looks pretty good. thought it would be just another AR game. I'll go out and walk for a while collecting echos then when I get home I sit down and look over the information. it's very meditative. nice community of investigators building.

Honestly thought it'd be gimmicky but I'm hooked. The stuff you collect is actual journal pages and letters, not just points or badges. Walked to a park I'd never been to last weekend chasing a lead and ended up sitting on a bench reading for like 20 minutes. Way more fun than I'm making it sound.

I'm curious to see how many people participate in this ARG....

Been having a lot of fun with this. The story of Maren is mysterious and intriguing and I like that it gets you out exploring instead of just sitting at home doom scrolling. Definitely a different kind of thing...in a good way.

I feel like I've been dropped into some cross between Fringe and Stranger Things, can't wait to see what this all means

Addictive. I wasn't sure exactly what it was at first but we need more like this.

Got into this last week and people on the discussions are already way ahead of me in the Linden Hollow leads. The AR captures are genuinely clever, and field updates drop in real time so you actually feel like you're behind if you skip a day. Just wish I'd started sooner.
