Start Survey App - Avoid the Ads

-

I was SO EXCITED when I saw this game in the app store. But I was quickly disappointed... and disturbed. I've wanted to play this game since I saw some of my favorite YouTubers play it, but just hadn't had the chance. When I found this as an app, I was so happy, thinking I could finally play it. I was wrong.
To start, this game is so broken. I couldn't even start to play it. There were so many ads, I got fed up with it before I could have a chance. However, I needed to review this still, simply because of the ads. The ads are why I put the content warning, because you need to see this to believe it. 
This app shouldn't be downloaded by anyone under the age of (I'll be generous) 16, simply for the ads. Almost all the ads were extremely vulgar and sexual. Another issue was that I couldn't skip the ad for a good 15 seconds at least. This game isn't geared towards children, but a younger audience could easily stumble across it. I really don't see the point in sexual ads, if you can't get the attention of your audience without it, then maybe make a better game. Sexual content in a game isn't necessarily a bad thing, but when it's the main content of an ad, that crosses a line. 
I know this really wasn't a game review, but I felt it needed to be said. I will be posting screenshots I got of the ad, if you so desire to see them, below. Take care of yourselves.

Hope Lake: What Happened at this Boarding School?

      Hope Lake is a point-and-click adventure about a mystery surrounding the disappearances of girls from the boarding school, several years after the school had been abandoned and the girls grown up. The untimely death of the Governess plays a key role in finding out the mystery of the missing girls. You play as Detective Kelly Wells, who is determined to figure out what is going on.     I personally LOVED this game. Normally I don't enjoy hidden item games, but the way they use that mixed with how they also include puzzles and mystery makes for a great game. Some of the puzzles were easy, some had mild difficulty, and then there were 2-3 that I needed help on. Thankfully my boyfriend is better at certain puzzles than I am and was able to help me with those extra difficult ones.     I really enjoyed the storyline as well. It took twists and turns that I wasn't expecting and built up the world to make a very immersive for the whole experience. The whole experience took me abo

A Game Like No Other...

       Available for free on PS4, PS5, Epic Games, and STEAM, The Light in the Darkness is a dark and educational game developed by Luc Bernard. Bernard has a mission to remind people of the events of the Holocaust, so that the victims and history are not forgotten. Bernard's grandmother was actually a caretaker who looked after children who came off the Kindertransport in the UK.      The Kindertransport is German for "Children Transport". The UK took nearly 10,000 children, most who were Jewish, from Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and the Free City of Danzing. These children were taken from Nazi controlled territories during the 9 months before the start of WW2. Often times these children were the only survivors of their family following the Holocaust.                  Why I Made It: Luc Bernard, Director of The Light in the Darkness (mopop.org)     This being said, it's understandable that Bernard wants to educate people on this historical event that aff

Times Gamers Passed Unexpectedly

    So in my last post, I talked about horrible crimes associated with video games. Well, I've decided to explore the other dark side of that; unexpected deaths. This post will mostly be focusing on untimely deaths of beloved gamers, due to video games. I will only be covering a small handful of these cases, but you can easily find other cases online. Again, a trigger warning is in place for this post, as it still contains content that some readers may find distressing. Also, if you read any, read Calvin Riley's case. You may just be able to help bring an unknown killer to justice. Hsieh     Hsieh, his surname, was a 32 year old gamer from Taiwan. He lived in the second largest city, Kaohsiung. He spent much of his time at internet cafes, and his family stated that he often would disappear for 2-3 days to spend time at these cafes, as he was unemployed and felt this was the only place he could go. Unfortunately, in 2015, a staff member at the café found Hsieh motionless, at one
