Okay. Let me get one thing straight. This game WAS a five-star. However, after a week or so of playing, I realized just how limited you are without L2 access. And, I get it, gotta make money somehow, keep the servers up and all that, but if that's the case, why not just make this game pay to play? $15 is not an unreasonable price for full access to a game, don't get me wrong, but again. The P2P option was right there. Great concept, decent execution, but if you can't afford L2 like me, skip it.

This is a truly one of a kind, incredible experience. I don't know any other apps that have done anything close to it. The social manipulation, tactical plays, team work, betrayal.... I'm so invested in the plotlines my games take it's incredible I just want someone to geek out about this to. If you can't afford to support the developer of this masterpiece for the price of a meal at Red Robin I pity you

Great game focusing on strategy and diplomacy. I am having an issue with notifications, tho. Ever since I got a new phone, notifications from the game have completely stopped. I have tried restarting my phone, uninstalling and reinstalling, and double-checking notification settings on both the app and device. My current device is an S24.

Hello - if you're having issues with notification, can you try doing: "Settings -> Apps -> Subterfuge -> Storage -> Delete App Data" and then uninstalling / reinstalling. That ought to fix it.
