Hidden agenda

You will find yourself in a dark and mirrored environment… the mystery deepens! You can play alone or in cooperative, to confront each other and continue the adventure. With extremely realistic graphics, Hidden Agenda it will turn you into a real police officer. Once again you will be manipulating the screen of the smartphone or the tablets instead of the controller, and you'll have to juggle a complex two-hour storyline.

Planet of Apes: Last Frontier

In this game you will have to decide the fate of humans and monkeys; like Hidden Agenda, this game puts you in front of choices, but the style is more “passive” making it look more like a movie than a game. In reality this can become a negative point: despite the possibility of choice it almost seems that the game proceeds at its own pace and on its own, and is perhaps a title more suitable for non-gamers, or those who prefer a less direct approach.

Frantics

Due to some unresolved bugs the release of Frantics is scheduled for mid-March, but we know that the game opens with a selfie that determines the assignment of a pet, a digital alter ego during the adventure. Frantics offers 15 skill mini-games where you will challenge your friends, using the movements of your smartphone to knock them off the cliff and win. But beware! The fox, the mascot of the game, is always ready to change the cards on the game table.
