78/100

Trust No One is a bold experiment in the point-and-click detective genre, created by the award-winning team behind 'Boxville'. It’s a game that explicitly demands you to 'think outside the box'—and sometimes even outside the app itself. You play as a journalist in Kyiv investigating a mysterious AI company, and the puzzles often require you to visit real-world websites or send actual emails to progress the story.

While this meta-narrative approach is brilliant for immersion, it can be polarizing. Some players find it frustrating to leave the app to solve a puzzle, but for those who love an ARG-lite (Alternate Reality Game) experience, it’s incredibly rewarding. It’s short, punchy, and atmospheric, offering a unique sense of place. If you're tired of traditional puzzles and want a mystery that feels like it’s bleeding into real life, this is definitely worth the $0.99.

Trust No One is a unique detective adventure from Triomatica Games, the studio known for the award-winning 'Boxville'. Set in the atmospheric alleyways of Kyiv, the game follows a journalist trying to identify a mysterious informant. Unlike traditional adventures, 'Trust No One' only tells half the story within the game interface; players must use their curiosity and real-world tools—such as websites and emails—to piece together the full narrative. It is a short but intense experience designed for those who enjoy unconventional puzzle-solving and meta-storytelling.
