About Doctor Who: The Lonely Assassins

✦ AI summary

You find a mysterious phone and must search through its messages, emails, photos and videos to solve a found-phone mystery connected to the terrifying Weeping Angels from Doctor Who. Working with ex-UNIT scientist Petronella Osgood, you'll uncover cryptic clues and unravel a chilling disappearance before the phone self-destructs, all while confronting an evil unlike anything the Doctor has faced before.

Building on the terrifying legacy of the Weeping Angels, first encountered in the iconic story “Blink”, Doctor Who: The Lonely Assassins is a thrilling found-phone mystery developed by the award-winning creators of Sara Is Missing and SIMULACRA.

When it begins to self-destruct, ex-UNIT scientist Petronella Osgood enlists your help to uncover hidden clues and solve cryptic puzzles. Will you unravel the truth behind the chilling disappearance before it’s too late? But remember: don't turn your back, don't look away and DON’T BLINK.

This actually got really good halfway through! That's I think my only problem with it; you need to get halfway to get to the good parts. Haven't seen any Doctor Who, but I do know about the Angels so I might be missing a lot of fan service. Only other game I've played by the dev team is Simulacra 1 and I think the highs of this one are better.

Don't know why I took so long to play this. it isn't perfect but it's pretty good. a nice continuation of an amazing Doctor Who episode. the puzzles weren't too hard, the game wasn't overly long, and I only missed a couple of things, and I had a good time overall

I must say that im not that deep into the Doctor Who lore. I know the tardis and the angels, but thats pretty much all i knew. I didnt knew that the angels have another name. But this wasnt a problem at all. Its a game mostly about reading which isnt that bad. I thought the game was worse then it really is. I really liked it. Its one of the RLA games that are very seriously. I dont understand a few things about the angels but this aside there is no problem with the game. The worst was the "Petronella goes to hella". Totally facepalm material right there. I can totally recommend it

This is a good game that really captures the feeling of a Doctor Who episode increasingly as the game progresses. The ending also feels well placed with it neither feeling dragged out or too short. The game also runs well however I would be more suprised if it didn't as the game is made up entirely of either interacting with a phone menu, watching video's, looking at photo's, or listening to audio recordings whether in the form of phone calls or voice recordings on the phone. Therefore, I highly recommend this game to any Doctor Who fan and anyone else who may like this genre of game.
