    A great little adventure in the Doctor Who Universe! I really wasn't sure what to expect, I like puzzle games but this didn't really seem like the type of game I wanted for Doctor Who, I wasn't sure about the "found-phone" aspect but I have to say, I was very pleasently surprised by this game! This is a such a phenomenal and fun experience that feels very unique and captures Doctor WhoA great little adventure in the Doctor Who Universe!

    Although the titular character is disappointingly all but absent from the affair, fans of Petronella Osgood and the Weeping Angels should enjoy this voyeuristic journey through the misplaced phone of a series extra in Doctor Who: The Lonely Assassins.

    A compelling found-phone horror title which demonstrates a real love for and understanding of the Doctor Who universe.

    Dr. Who: The Lonely Assassins is an enjoyable game that different people are likely to enjoy for different reasons based on their previous experience with the Dr. Who tv series. Those who don't know much will likely find the mystery more engaging than I did, and those who have seen more of the show than me are likely to find more pleasure in easter eggs and returning characters. While I found myself a bit in the gray-area middle, knowledgeable enough to make the mystery fairly obvious but not knowledgeable enough to appreciate the references, I still enjoyed the game for its relatively tight storytelling, good pacing, and slick UI.
