The Vigil Files: Case 1

I love it! I normally don't find a deduction game as rewarding as this. It feels like an elaborate ARG. If the Vigil Files are still being developed, I just have to say keep it up!

i paid for the game but cant get past the register screen so cannot play the game. i tried selecting refund and it declined. Not happy

- Tammy Baxter · v1.4.4

love it

- Kelly Johnson

Loved the gameplay. its new to what I usually play.

- Naveed Mohammed · v1.4.4

Keyboard covers the terminal, can't see what I'm typing. Super annoying.

- Sam Pascucci · v1.4.4

really enjoying the game, just didn't know who to contact as the game has unfortunately crashed just before chapter 4 I read up a walkthrough and one of the characters are meant to message me at the end of episode 3 and they have not. I went on the hints feature as well and it says service unavailable??? wondered if I could get any help :)

- Amelia Baker · v1.4.4

incredible. so realistic I think I'm tripping

- Siobhan Fahey · v1.4.4

i dont usually leave reviews, but this is pretty darn cool. just buy it

- Ethan Hamilton · v1.4.4

From start to finish it manages to keep you hungry for more. Like the characters in the game, you *want* to know the answers. and the speech recognition used is it's biggest selling point. It feels like real people you're having a conversation with.

- Gerben O · v1.4.4

this game is so real I'm almost scared

- Kelli Z · v1.4.4

Avoid playing this game unless you enjoy things like guessing a randomized voicemail PIN

- Mike Wolfe · v1.4.4

fantastic!

- Doc Neale · v1.4.4

Pretty engaging.

- Joey Irish · v1.4.4

amazing detailed and very gripping

- Devin Hayes · v1.4.4

not what I was expecting. the premise is unique but the execution was off.

- Joshua Scott · v1.4.4

I love this game! This is the most interesting game I've played in a long time. It's extremely realistic and captivating.

- Jessica Lauren Ruddock · v1.4.4

this is one of the most difficult game out there. you really need to be a detective. i just have 2 complains one is in game hint shouldnt be a troll. it should always point towards what we are suppose to do. instead of service down just repeat the last msg if thats the only way forward so atleast player would be confirm on what to do. 2nd the blurry image of map on chapter 5 because it was unreadable to me so instead of solving i had to cheat

- Saquib Lari · v1.4.4

pretty decent game overall in chapter 7 you have to change morgana files to a zip. I cannot get it, extremely 😡😡. finally finished game, I highly recommend.....

- Gary Curtis · v1.4.4

it's okay, the whole alex jones of it all kinda makes it stupid to me.

- Peter · v1.4.4

I love ARGs, and I love simulated-OS games. This game is the PERFECT intersection of both. Difficult codes, excellent system operation, out-of-app searching—I am truly grateful I found this, it's the most fun I've ever had playing a mobile game. Now, I have only to be sad that there's no series. LOL! Thank you to the dev, this was absolutely fantastic.

- A Syrdal · v1.4.4

Incredible. I adore mystery games and have played all the greats—Obra Dinn, Golden Idol, Casecracker, etc. This game is every bit as well crafted as those. It deserves so much more fame than it has. Excellent writing with surprisingly realistic and individualized dialogue, clear interface, and solid puzzling. Hope the creators do some marketing now that mystery games are more popular. I think it could really take off. Please make more!

- S L · v1.4.4

I love this game. The 3 dollars were worth it. I hope there's a Case 2🤑👍

- Arthur Henry Thomas William III · v1.4.4

We need a case 2 of this type of game

- Diamond Naraindut

So far so good! The right amount of difficult to keep Me engaged Edit: just finished playing. Thoroughly enjoyed it but I have to admit from about the half way point I had to start using the guide and it got more difficult. Can't wait for the next one! If you like solving puzzles, taking notes and really analysing what's in front of you, this is the game for you.

- Charlotte Warder · v1.4.4

Oh, man, I'm addicted. Best blend of detective, hacker, and arg I've seen in a very long time. I'm definitely going to buy the other chapters as soon as I finish this one.

- Terri Loyd · v1.4.4

excellent

- Mark Watters · v1.4.4

I absolutely love this game, it's so inventive and a brilliant example of an ARG. You get drawn in to a cryptic mystery and use all manner of ways to de-code, Research and contact people as the plot slowly unravels. Highly recommend if you are into mysteries and puzzles

- Mimi Beard · v1.4.4

I am really enjoying the immersion

- Rob (Grzzer2) · v1.4.4

Great game! Very in depth and challenging. I really love how much detail there is here, where you need to use real (fake) websites that the developer has created to garner further information for the investigation. Amazing work!

- Megan Feaver · v1.4.3

Literally flawless, no notes.

- Vance Sumrall · v1.4.4

I'm so engaged with this. Awesome adventure... And I don't like games. This is like real life.

- imperial_corner · v1.4.4

Great game !!

- Arron Jenkins · v1.4.4

Challenging and so fun! You had to do actual detective work. I'm bummed there isn't another one though!

- Joahna B

Fun game

- Jandy Hill (Jgirl30) · v1.4.3

I absolutely loved this game! Please make another one!

- Cassi Shaffer · v1.4.3

Amazing game! Challenging puzzles and very unique gameplay.

- Lydia Manca · v1.4.3

So far I have been enjoying it but it is difficult and sometimes the hints aren't really helpful if you do need one. But overall great game!

- Steven Baldwin · v1.4.3

this game is stupid. they want you to guess some random pin code with no clues or hint, brute force. I've tried over 60 different common pins and none of them work, so I'm uninstalling this dumb "game". nobody has time for this lame hacker ship

- Tiffany A Lambert

It's AMAZING!!!! As an avid puzzle/investigation game player, this is a dream come true! It's difficult but not impossible, and you feel like a real hacker/detective. I simply adore it.

- Lena · v1.4.3

I'm loving the game, but I'm stuck on chapter three. Edit: reddit didn't help me at all, but I asked chatgpt to walk me to the door. I had read the txts. SO MANY TIMES, and that damn STICKY NOTE. Chat had barely started bringing out names when my jaw dropped... So many times had I read thru, BUT forgot one... Liz. My eyes were pointing at the right things all along, but I hadn't connected all of them. Listen, I gave you five stars from the get for a reason. Well done.

- adan urias · v1.4.3

Broken game

- Stuart Loch · v1.4.3

"Realistic" feels like an understatement. It's like a fantasy role-playing simulator that blurs the line between fact and fiction, creating a fantastical experience that can't be replaced by any one game in existence, or a YouTube ARG with user interactions for the most extreme immersion possible without jeopardizing the actual safety of its players (though the same cannot be said for the interactive safety of the "players").

- Paul Greenberg (PURE RAWR) · v1.4.3

An intriguing mystery, mixing a virtual hacking interface with an Alternate Reality Game. I'm digging it so far!

- benjamin d taylor · v1.4.3

absolutely incredible!!

- Sara Wilson · v1.4.3

Best game I've ever played. Highly recommend if you like sleuthing games. edit: Came back in 2025 to say it's still the best game I've ever played. Never forgot it. Nothing has compared. I check every now and then hoping for a sequel! To the developer: thank you for creating such an awesome game experience.

- Liz Evans · v1.4.3

it is fun

- Jack paul

This is the most creative, amazing and delightful game! honestly you just have to try it to see, hard to put into words. but if you do, I recommend going to the Reddit walk through that Shining Concepts created. it doesn't give spoilers unless you want them but it does give you a little more info to move forward. The maker of this game should have all the resources to make whatever comes to their mind next because they are brilliant.

- Monique · v1.4.3

Great game! There really is no other game I have seen like this one. I could not have done it without the help of Shining Concepts! you rock dude (if you ever read this lol). This game takes a lot of patience and uses computer skills. Don't get frustrated. Look up help if you need it. Thank you Makario. Hope to see more from you in the future!

- Moe Moe · v1.4.3

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟This is one of the most realistic, yet fun while challenging investigative games I've ever played. It's hard to find games this amazing and realistic, I'm hoping they create a Vigil Files 2 sometime soon. I need this game in my life and trust me if you decide to give it a try I promise you all will too. Download this game ASAP You will NOT be disappointed.

- Ria x0x · v1.4.3

So far this is a lot of fun!
