About the game
The companion app provides the game with many more stories to solve. The stories are all unique to the app and not found in the base game. The app only has stories and nothing else. A physical copy of the base game is still required to play. These stories have the same format (standard information block, graphics, font, etc.) as the physical story cards in the game. Some stories are marked with the "Parental Advisory" warning, just like stories in the physical game. There are 35 stories, but that may change with updates. Stories can be marked as played - the electronic equivalent of setting aside a story card once it's been played. There is also a "Random Story" button that selects a random story from among those in the app.
