When you read the first conversation, you find out that Sam is actually a bisexual trans woman.
When you eventually gain access to the second account (through similar password-guessing puzzles), you find that it is a woman seeking men, also with what appears to be an honest profile of Sam. He has a few conversations going but seems to be ignoring one person who is very interested in meeting up.
The first profile’s password is easy to guess and is a man seeking women, the short profile apparently an honest one based on what we know of Sam. There are two profiles, “Sam-Thing” and “Sam-Thing-Else” on the app and they have different passwords. In order to find out more details, you realize you will need access to the dating app on the phone. I’m frankly shocked this isn’t taken as the name of an actual generic dating app. It’s at this point that the game puts you in the position of intentionally going from “figuring out whose phone this is” to “basically hacking this kid.” Eventually you learn that he is likely bisexual (possibly asexual) and that his older cousin, who he was told had joined a cult, is gay and about to get married. He stopped going to his board game group after some sort of confrontation with another member. Sam abruptly ended his relationship with his girlfriend. He has a serious girlfriend that his parents love and are pressuring him to start considering marrying.īut as you scroll through more and more conversations, you begin to suspect that something is amiss. He has just had a birthday party, as has his father. As you read through the messages from various people in Sam’s life, the picture of whose phone you found begins to fill in. The phone has no internet and all you can really access is the calendar, messages, and some old emails. Initially, all you know about him is that his father is worried that he’s missing, he just turned 18, and he seems to like books and board games. You have to download this from an email from Sam’s GF.
