## Circulous Description
Pay once, play forever!

Circulous is an episodic mystery narrative puzzle game. In this first-person game, you take on the persona of Amanda Trouser. You have just been let go from your job. After packing your things, you wonder what you are going to do with the rest of your life. How will you afford your apartment? On the subway ride home you see an add for a job opening at Circulous…it’s almost as if the ad was put there just for you! You apply, and you end up hired!

That is only the beginning of the story. Your work at Circulous is exciting, but soon you realize there may be more to this company than you’ve ever imagined. Corporate espionage, conspiracy theories and moral dilemmas lead you through challenging puzzles that will test your wits, your allegiances, and what you think you know about…everything.

Engagement

This puzzle game pulls you in and makes it as immersive as possible. Scenes use parallax movement to make it feel like you are in Amanda’s world.
The opening scene (in which you are fired) uses story and humor to quickly place you in Amanda’s shoes.
Each scene is an animated environment that invites you to explore and notice things that may or may not be important to the story or puzzles.
The use of your phone (or iPad) is an intuitive way to keep you in the game but also make it feel as if you are truly using your device alongside the game and not just a gimmick. The OS feels like a true OS and makes the immersive nature of the game much more enjoyable.

## Circulous Reviews in United States

### ***-- "I like it so far but it’s really buggy"
Interesting and creative puzzles with a good level of difficulty.  I like the mystery vibe. 

I’m stuck because I can’t send a reply to a text message and the cloud save is too recent.

It’s about a dna sample and I in the middle of responding I checked my (actual) email.  And when I came back it reloaded and would not display any responses.

There have been bugs/glitches in nearly every scene, from glitching backgrounds to requiring entering the settings before a phone rotation is registered.  This is a pretty streamlined game with very few options so having so many bugs is extra frustrating.
-- Poliooilop, 2025-12-30

### **--- "My eyes hurt 🤓😳"
1) The game is glitchy. 2) Don’t even bother if you don’t have great eyesight.
-- twocwnts, 2025-12-22

### **--- "Crashing"
Crashing. Was 2024 too late to buy this puzzle? I solved the delivered box easily but get an empty grid with a dot and arrows on the interceptor, and the decoder has now vanished. I want to finish this game but it has to work.
-- lilycarol, 2024-11-04

### *---- "Five stars for Act one. Negative Four stars for Act Two"
Why oh why would the developers make you wait to catch a taxi. I played Act One which was challenging and fun. But I didn’t play it for long periods of time. In Act Two, you have to wait for a certain time to take a taxi. Every time I came back to check on it, it wasn’t the right time. Lame and a waste of my time. I am deleting it!
-- smd711me, 2024-07-17

### ***** "AMAZING!"
I absolutely love this game, and its grown to be one of my favorites. When I got stuck in act 2, I emailed and I received some good help too! This game and everything that comes with it (the music 🤗) is sososososososo good and I love this game to death! The puzzles aren’t too hard (until act 2) and it’s the right mix of clever and challenging.
-- yeretrwdqh, 2023-06-13

### ***** "I'm not happy"
I paid for this game & I really like it a lot, however some of the puzzles are to hard for me.. which is fine, but I would really love it if the developers would put helps for the second part of the game! They keep telling me what to do over email, but that takes months at a time, and by then I don't even remember what I played! I can't get on Discord it's not so helpful to me.. please please put the game hints on the game!
-- Birdy24eva, 2022-10-05

### ***-- "Act 1 is great"
I really enjoyed Act 1, but it appears I will have to wait 11 real-time hours to leave the coffee shop at the beginning of act 2 (and actually more like 23, since I won’t be playing it first thing in the morning.) This seems like an awfully bad design choice.
-- Riyya, 2022-09-23

### *---- "Help!!!"
I love this game but ever since I started act 2, I am stuck at the cafe. I have the ryde app downloaded but every time I try to go on the phone in the game and go to the virtual world, it crashes at the computer screens, and exits the game. I don’t know what to do. Plus the ryde app says there’s no routes available. One star because I don’t know what to do ..
-- RobbieeeJK, 2022-07-25

### ***-- "Love game but stuck due to crash"
I absolutely love this game so far. It is fun and holds my attention, which is hard due to severe ADHD. It is absolutely a 5-star game but I’m hesitant to give it due to one issue. 

The issue is that I’m now stuck at one point in the game due to it crashing. It crashes at the same spot for the past 24 hours (each time I try to open the message from the HR rep.) I really wish this would be fixed so I can continue to play. ☺️
-- nugget1990, 2022-05-06

### ***** "An absolute blast to play"
Clever, delightful puzzles in an engaging mystery storyline. This is weird, but I get the impression from the tone of the game that these devs are highly intelligent, but also fun to hang out with. 

Note that basic science literacy is helpful for solving some puzzles
